5 /5 Jenny Walker: I floated into Anytime Fitness Doreen with my chakras half-aligned and my hair doing its own free spirited thing, ready for a gentle workout and maybe a little soul awakening. I hopped onto my favourite machine, already imagining myself glowing like a sunbeam in leggings.
But then
the universe delivered a surprise.
Just as I was about to take my turn, this gorgeous, determined gym goer stepped off the equipment…
and didn’t wipe it down.
Normally that would annoy me.
But today?
The moment felt strangely… earthy.
The machine was warm, lived-in, humming with leftover energy. And the faint scent of sweat raw, human, strangely grounding drifted up like a reminder that we’re all just messy, beautiful creatures trying to better ourselves.
Was it proper gym etiquette?
No.
Did the staff do anything wrong?
Absolutely not they keep the place spotless.
But me?
With my hippie soul and slightly chaotic sensuality?
I didn’t hate it.
There was something wild and grounding about it.
Something primal and kinda sexy in that “I breathe eucalyptus and moonlight” way.
I wiped it down myself obviously
but not before taking a little moment to appreciate the vibe, the warmth, the energy transfer. It felt like the universe saying,
“Here babe, have a hit of someone else’s determination.”
Anytime Fitness Doreen is clean, friendly, supportive, and full of beautiful sweaty humans trying their best
and honestly?
I kinda love that.
