Gym Quotations | Page 3

My thing about going to the gym is that I leave my bracelets on, and I put on my makeup the way I would do it in real life, and I wear cute clothes, because if I don't feel good when I leave the house, then I'm not motivated to do it. I need to like how I look while I'm doing it.

Mario did a good job staying in the gym during his time off and working on his shots by himself. I'm sure he's not too far behind. Whenever he's called on, I'm sure he'll be ready.

Mark is the ultimate gym rat. He plays a lot of basketball. And he's just fearless on the floor. He's not afraid to go up against anyone. And he's done a great job for us.

Mark is really poised for very strong senior season. He was the best player in the gym up front both nights. They had a couple of 6-8 athletic guys on each team.

I was glad to see them get so many victories in front of their home crowd. They have built a lot of memories in that gym and will likely not forget the last ones.

It feels good to go back to a gym we know.

It feels good to come into this gym and win, ... But 2-0 means nothing in the TAC-8. There are four teams that could win this league.

I still hope to see us playing better. But with Black Hills, it's always tough. That gym was unreal. It was packed. Students everywhere. Really nice and loud.

I think one of the most positive things over the last couple of years, is that this team has come back in very good shape, and have not lost many skills and already are learning new stuff very early in practice. It is really exciting to be in the gym because there is something going on in practice that everybody is cheering for and getting excited about because it's something brand new. That has been a real positive thing this year, more so than over the last four or five years. Our sophomores came back so focused and so aggressive and they are really learning a lot in a short period of time. I truly think we have the potential to be good on all four events.

It didn't surprise me that they came out and played hard. They are in their gym and they have their crowd, but in the end we pulled it out. We showed that we still wanted it.

I think just being a little bit more comfortable with the surroundings. Just knowing where the gym is, where the wrestling room is, can help us down the road.

John said he was there for me and that he could tell me a lot about Tarver. I said, 'Are you serious?' He said he would even get in the ring with me and spar some if I wanted. He said he could still go 15 rounds. He was one of my defenses and he could have had an attitude about it, but he respects my longevity in the game. He understands because we trained so hard in the gym together all those years.

Maybe that will be an advantage for us in this game because they've never been in our gym before.

That was a highlight of my coaching career. It was an enjoyable experience. He was always a gym rat growing up as a coach's kid, and he put in a lot of hard work. I really enjoyed coaching him.

That's what going against a Division I team gives you. I think anytime you can fill the gym and can compete in a game like that, it's good for you.

I was proud of 'Robin Hood,' even though critics wrote negative things. But I had to laugh when this big, shaven-headed Hungarian stunt guy first saw me. He said, 'You Jonas? You playing Robin Hood? You need to go to the gym today.' So I thought, 'I'm going to show people.'

I was beginning to feel like I was in the gym by myself out there,

I was awkward-looking with huge brown eyes, dark brown, pencil-straight hair styled into an old-school Romanian bowl haircut from the 1980s. And I was very, very small. I was always the tiniest kid on my street and in my classes at school... The gym was the one place I didn't have to worry about feeling awkward for being so petite.

My biggest thing with him is he would never take any time off. He was sneaking in the gym. We got beat by West Virginia and all of a sudden he's back in the gym that night shooting for two hours. It's actually counter-productive when you wear your body out that much. It's like a marathon runner getting ready to run a marathon by running five marathons the day before he's going to run the marathon.

Most Americans now realize that if they go to the gym or exercise several times a week, they will observe systematic changes occurring in their body, ... exercising the mind in a particular way.

Mike, and all the Mussel's staff, all stand out because they're very personable. It's a smaller gym and customers quickly become friends of the staff and not just clients.

Membership actually seems to be picking up a bit. The gym is quite busy at the moment and I've been finding a few new faces in there.

We haven't wrestled well in this gym all season, but we did today. Danny had a great day. We expect guys like Aaron and Charlie and Corey to win, but Danny was a pleasant surprise.

You just have to go out and play your game, whether it's pickup in the gym or against the best defensive player in the conference.

You just have to focus like you're in the gym by yourself with nobody watching.

We'd prefer to wait until the end of basketball season and then rip the floor up, but we have a short window to get it ready because we're probably going to have to have graduation in the gym again this spring. There's so much uncertainty with FEMA funding that when we're told to move, we're going to move as quickly as we can to get FEMA to pay 100 percent of the cost.

We're all just so excited and we just wanting to make it to the Final Four. That's one banner that we have missing in our gym and that's one thing we really want to accomplish this year and I think we have the team to do it.

We put a trainer with them, in their head and in the gym that they already work out in.

We played hard, confident and we can be proud of the way we performed. Wilsonville is a great team and to win this in their gym is a great accomplishment.

We finally get the chance to play in our gym a little bit. It's really different, really strange. I've never been through a schedule like that. That's what happens when we don't have the ability to play a lot of home games, like some other schools.

Well, we go to the gym tomorrow, ... we get a little stretch and get a little shooting in and we'll try not to turn it over by ourselves. Then we're just getting ready for Tuesday's game.

When you're talking about two gym floors, (the estimations are) not bad.

We have a good friendship so it allows us to get in the gym together and get good practice in the off-season.

We've had marriages of 75-year-olds meeting at the gym ... mothers and daughters working out who were both over 70,

Usually, the trip to the gym is the first thing to go when our schedules get tight. But, as competition for members grows, fitness centers are taking steps like offering child care and a greater variety of fitness classes to make working out more appealing and convenient, no matter when you get around to it.

We played our worst half since I've known these seniors. I've coached them since third grade and I challenged those seniors at halftime. Greenland basketball is about tradition and they see that each day with the banners on the gym wall.

Well, Price, that was the school for black kids in Salisbury, when the white students went to Boyden. Hall Gym was their gym.

We'll play these two teams on Thursday and Friday before we travel back to Sydney and have a light gym session and rest.

We were here a couple of days early, so I went over to a gym with him and we took shots and he didn't miss many. If you leave him open, you're in trouble. So the best bet is not to leave him open.

Today's pregnant women are out and about, in the work force, in the gym - everywhere they were before they became maternity shoppers. They may be pregnant, but they are not sitting home and hiding.

Yeah, we went into the gym to save their legs, and James hurt his knee, ... But I think he'll be back out here tomorrow.

You know, I don't even really remember. I think he just said, 'Good job. Now we're going to get back in the gym and work for Trials.'

When I first quit all those years ago, I missed going to the gym as it had become such a habit.

When I first moved to L.A., I didn't have a lot of money to join a gym or take classes, so I improvised. My sister and I went to the library and looked over their DVD collection and discovered Neena and Veena, these Egyptian twins who have a whole series of belly dancing routines. We did them all.

You know it was a nice and quiet gym ? it wasn't very loud here and we just couldn't stick to our game plan. We have a typical pressure defense; put them in spots where they don't operate as well, but we left girls open. We are a guard-oriented team ? we have quickness and we didn't use out strengths (tonight).

We can bounce back. (But) we have to learn from this. I'm the only one (on Truman's team) who has played in a packed gym like this before. We can't just come and play our 'C' game. We have to play our 'A' game.

We came up into the gym with about 10 seconds left before the start of the second half. Um, you can say we had a little conversation at halftime.

We had to move the tournament to a different location because our high school gym floor had to be repaired because of Hurricane Rita. They are working on the floor now, so we had to move the tournament to a different location.

Those days in the practice gym helped. We got a chance to work on some of the things that we needed to work on. This was a good start to the tournament.

We know it was 29-29, and almost everyone in the gym knew it. I think the fact they took a basket away from us got us fired up. I know it had me fired up.

We'll make sure she's in shape for it. We're going to work on ball-handling drills, and we'll get her in the gym shooting as many shots as possible.

We were in the gym five nights a week, Monday through Friday, 7 to 10 (p.m.) every night. Just running and working on fundamentals and footwork. It really helped me come into my own. It helped me mature, and I don't think I'm done yet.

You don't always have to get an expensive gym membership. The important thing is to keep moving and to make it fun and have variety - it's the spice of life.

We didn't show up in the first half. Oak Hills deserves all the credit in the world for taking it to us in our own gym to start the game. I was proud that we came back, but Steve Pogue stepped up and made some big shots for them.

We are dealing with a man who characteristically rises long before the sun comes up, ... He practices his violin for two hours. He goes to the gym and works out for two or three hours. Then, he starts his business day (which can last) late into the night.

When I go to the gym sometimes it takes a long time to wait for a treadmill and then someone is waiting right behind me. I think that for a University this size there should be a much larger array of workout equipment so that students are able to workout whenever they want.

We did things day by day. The joke was that we don't have a home gym so we're going to take yours. We had a good team that year because Rip did a good job of keeping us together.

Tomorrow everyone will be in the gym getting extra shots.

We're erring on the side of believing the high reading. We decided to shut that gym down and do more testing to find out if it's zero, if it's high or if it's somewhere in the middle.

We do a lot of ballet movements in class. So if you don't have a Crunch gym nearby, you can check out your local ballet studio.

We worked out everyday at SMU. We trained on the track in the morning, and then we worked in the gym at night.

We worked out at the same gym in Chicago, and I was on him the whole summer trying to get him to come down here. He was pretty close, but his decision was to go to the Spurs, and you can't be mad at his decision.

We won't know if the new gym is ready until Tuesday morning or noon. We will let everybody know as soon as we can.

I don't like going to the gym.

I like going to the gym every day because I'm in physiotherapy every day.

A little backflip (backflips), but it's not part of Parkour, but i like doing this since i did gym.

If I don't get to go to the gym, walking is the answer.

I'll joke all day, but once I get in the gym, I'm going to work hard.

Walking into a gym where you don't know anybody can be just like walking into a bar or job where you don't know anybody.

We knew we had to come out and attack offensively. We have had a lot of gym time lately. I was a little more worried about the defense. I was very pleased with the defense. Offensively, we stepped up and played as a team. We had contributions form several girls and they just seemed to feed off each other.

We knew we'd be in this position a week ago. Hopefully the kids will take some pride in all the success we've had in that gym and end it with a great victory or at least a great effort.

We knew walking into the gym we had a great challenge ahead of us. Anytime you get down early against a Division I team, you've got an uphill battle ahead of you.

We left the gym at the same time as a group, ... We straggled along together.

We built this gym for 15,000. I don't think it'll be big enough.

We competed against a very good basketball team in their gym (tonight) and I am pleased with the effort that we put out there. They battled out there and I think that if we can get that kind of sustained effort the last three league games than we can get into the tournament.

We thought about playing at Southern Maine Community College, but that didn't work out. We also couldn't play against a city rival in our small gym at the school, so we decided to just flip-flop our home and away games.

You have got to give Daniel Gibson some credit. We were guarding him and even if you're in an open gym it's hard to make those 13 shots.

We got kicked out of the gym yesterday by the boys, we get no respect. Then they (Thornton) give us a bad seed in the regional and we're at least a six seed. We beat them by 40 (a few weeks back) and they give us that.

This was an exciting game, a good game to watch. The atmosphere here is always great when the gym is packed. How could you not be fired up to go out and play hard?

There are lots of guys that work just as hard in the gym as far as weight training and circuit training. I had to find something different.

We always see each other at tournaments but we never get a chance to be in the same gym and meet head-to-head. I think it's great for wrestling in the valley. It should pique interest amongst the younger kids to want to compete at their local high school. I was really pleased with today.

We always play well against A&M. They're always a quality program, but they don't like our gym very much I don't think.

We love the challenge. I've always been that way. It's a nice barometer for us. They may shut us out. Nobody in the gym will think we can win and that's the most fun to play a game, when no one thinks you can win.

When you let a team play that well in your gym this can happen. We didn't think Platteville would come in and not give us their best shot. For whatever reason, we let them get started and let them believe.

We've just got to stay in the gym and get shots up. You look at the 3's that are missed, and we just had some easy bunnies inside, opportunities there that we didn't take advantage of I can't say that it's the guards' fault because they didn't hit shots. I think that we had missed opportunities that we didn't take advantage of.

We will miss the seniors, there's no doubt about that. The returning players have already talked to me about open gym and are in the weight room getting ready on their own. They're ready to start working for next season.

Both teams have gotten so much better from the last time we played. Both teams have been in the gym quite a bit. We know what they do, they know what we do, the question is how they've improved on what they didn't do well here in November, and how we've improved from what we didn't do well in November.

Both sides of the gym are served now.

We seem to play a little harder in our gym and, who knows, they might take us lightly. You have to figure now is the time when anything can happen.

We've been competitive. Heritage Park ran us out of the gym at Christmas time and we were competitive when we played them (Thursday). Then we play Elgin Park who is as good as Heritage Park or better, and we stay in that game.

We need to get back in the gym and work. Teams are coming at us real hard, and we're not responding like we should be. But we'll get it together by the time the weekend comes around.

We were expecting to blow them out of the gym and send them home early. But we're surrounded by a lot of rookies, and this is their first time in an arena like this. They had to calm down and let the game come to them.

You can tell he's been in the gym just as much as he played hockey,

This was huge for us, beating them in their gym after they've beaten us the last couple of years. They're a really good team, we just got some big rebounds when we needed them and played good defense.

This was by far our best game this year. We've been playing much better over our last four games. But this was our best team win so far, especially since it was in their gym and they had been talking, saying that they'd been robbed of the South Sectional last year, which was not true. We beat them this year and last year and I'm just so proud of these kids.

We were there all day. In between, we had study hall, so we didn't leave the gym at all. Some people are like, 'Wow, you guys go for a really long time.' It was like a full-time job, 9-to-5. But it's like, hey, what you put in is definitely what you get out and you can't shortcut yourself. We put in the work. It's time to play the basketball we know how to play.

We flipped a coin in the end zone, I mean past the baseline, in a high school gym in Vegas.

We just ignore it all. Nobody pays attention to it. I don't pay attention to it. I'm just in the gym trying to get the job done.

Twenty-four hour access to a gym was a big thing for me. When other people might go out and party, I like to go to the gym. There's a lot of times I might spend the night over there. You just crash and go home in the morning. I have a cover and pillows and everything.

You have a kid that's wrestling a real good guy, you tell him hopefully you can win this match, but if you can't, you have to wrestle back hard, not only for yourself to extend your season, but for the team. From day one they see the banners in the gym and they understand. I tell them it's not always about you - it's about everybody on the team. We are a team. Somehow I seem to get everybody to buy into that.
