How was the gym?

I don’t really get how to answer this question.  And I have yet to find an answer that sounds right and normal. You can’t say that it is good because it isn’t supposed to be, the purpose of the gym is to kick your own flabby butt into shape. But then again you can’t say the gym was wonderfully masochistic, because you seem like a creepy porn freak.  And let’s face it there are plenty of creepy porn freaks out there, we don’t need to have more.  My usual answer is “sweaty” because I leave home dry and come home “sweaty.”  That seems like a pretty good fit, right?  But since I am a female, do I saw “glowing.”  Because if you ever had a grandmother and you are female you were told at least once that “girls don’t sweat, we glow.” Obviously that person never met me while I was working out. (That was probably a little too much info, huh?)  

Even if you dip into 90’s slang for some unknown reason and answer with “phat” people will think you are just obsessed with your weight and need to go talk to a professional whose name isn’t Ben OR Jerry. Speaking of being seen as a head case….never answer with “fine” because if you have ever seen the Italian Job you know it stands for: Freaked out Insecure Neurotic and Emotional.  Unless of course you are an in shape head case, then feel free to respond with fine

“Busy” might  serve as an appropriate response, but it has nothing to do with you interacting with the gym, you are just telling the inquisitive that it was stinky and it was hard to get a machine.  So here is my question to the masses….how was the gym?
