Variations on this theme have been going around for a while, and I though it was my time to have a go too.

• You can tell the release number in the first 5 seconds of the warm-up track
• Every other song you hear in the supermarket makes you look around for a bar
• Your non gym junkie friend looks at you strangely when, listening to the radio, you keep saying “Hey this is the [insert muscle group] track from [insert release number]“
• The people in the next car next to you at the traffic lights wonder why you are doing bicep curls
• Your entire wardrobe is red and black
• You have more gym outfits than work clothes
• When you’ve got a little extra cash and buy a new BP top when you really don’t need to!
• You dye your hair red to match your Bodypump clothing
• You avoid ANYTHING that will interfere with your classes
• You get up at 4:45AM to do a class
• Most of your friends are body pumpers
• You pick up a box with a three and one rhythm
• You keep your elbows in when scratching your nose
• You stand in line with your knees slightly bent
• You look forward to using the porta-potties at the music festival
• You judge every person you see by what BP could do for them
• You open your own pickle jars, thank you very much!
• You carry all the groceries in from your car in one trip
• When you sit on the toilet, you pull your hips back, push out you chest and check that your knees don’t go beyond your toe line.
• You go to the disco, on your first song, you move every major muscle group to properly warm up.
• You prefer to eat donuts with your thumb in the hole!
• You get mooned and instead of being offended you correct their form!
• You’ve never been back to the weight room since you started BP!
• You can’t lift weights without music!
• You think a song sounds better in BP class, than it does on the radio.
• When you go to sit down on the couch, you do a few squats first
• You have nightmares of missing your classes, or being late
• You dream about Bodypump

I’m sure there are plenty I’ve missed but I’ve tried to cull duplicates as much as possible. Feel free to add any you think merit inclusion.
