Nice people at the gym

After my swim yesterday, there was a bloke in the changing rooms in his towel post-shower, squeegeeing the floor to make it nicer for everyone else. Share your gym angels here

I got a phone call after the wife had taken the kids to get a summer swimming pass "Can you fill an old container with rice, I'll be there in a minute". One of the staff had dropped their phone in the pool and had only just started a shift so could do nothing other than retrieve it. So my other half took some rice to bury it in so it could at least dry out a bit while they were stuck at work. I don't do gyms, we have a set of bars in the garden courtesy of Xorbars, an inflatable kayak and a slackline

I've never spoken to her, but we exchange smiles in the pool/changing room. Anyway, I've not been to my local pool for a while because I was swimming elsewhere, and the first time I was back at the local pool she said to me in the changing room "I'm so glad you're back, I was a little worried because I'd not seen you for a couple of weeks". I thought that was rather lovely

He asked me to help lift it back, but he was so polite in doing so - he actually waited until I'd finished my set and could see I was free ! Amazing.
