My husband complaining about how hard it is to eat so many (2900) calories each day but then skipping meals b/c he "didn't have time to eat".
Women (usually) who say things like, "you're so skinny...how do you do it?" I answer honestly and get some variation of "Oh, that wouldn't work for me. I mean, I've never tried it, but I know there's no way eating more than 1000 calories/day and lifting weights would make me healthier!" Grrrr.0 -
People who can eat anything and make it a point to let you know!
And People who don't wipe down the equipment at the Gym after they are finished!0 -
Unracked weights.0

*rage*
Was his lack of respect for your rack the cause of his becoming an ex?
For me, I can't stand it when people swish and spit in the public drinking fountain at the gym. Disgusting.0 -
When someone sits on a machine chatting when its obvious you are waiting to use it.
Also when you decline someones offering of food because its not in your nutritional plan and they say "oh come on its only one [whatever the item is], what harm is just one going to do?"

People who don't re-rack and leave their 45 lb plates everywhere.
People who get legitimately angry at you for super-setting something they want to use. Seriously, please just ask to work in. The best part is these are the people who you only see at the gym once a year or so.
My co-workers, for always feeling the need to call me out on not eating any of the birthday cake. Really? Is that necessary?0 -

It really peeves me when my co-worker, who's well over a healthy weight, asks me how I lost so much weight and what advise I can offer. They pour their heart out about how hard it is to lose weight, and just want some motivation, and someone to guide them in the right direction. I give my advise, offer to help them get familiar with the gym, which is supplied by our employer, and set them up with a workout plan or meal plan during my free time. They say "awww, man thanks so much. I'm totally down, can we start tomorrow?". I say "of course", knowing this is going to mess up my plans I already made, but who cares. Their health is more important to me.
Next day(today), they're eating fast food at their desk and cancel the gym meet because he's "too tired".
*deep sigh*
I don't put more effort into others than they are willing to put forth themselves. Says me a lot of grief.0 -
The people in my office that CONSTANTLY talk (brag) about their diet and exercise. I am losing weight and I never talk about it, I think my progress speaks for itself. Don't preach to me about how "good" you're doing and how hard you work out. Don't tell me you eat zero carbs when I watch you shove lollipops down your throat all day because you're eating 500 calories and you're hungry all the time. And don't give me unsolicited advise. I'm doing fine. Grrrrrrr0

Grunting while lifting weights. I understand a little noise but the loud grunting is totally unnecessary and stupid!0

HAHAHAHAHA...Hilarious!0 -
People that try to have a meaningless conversation with you in the gym when you have your headphones in and your obviously not there to chat.0

I may or may not have done that for the 3 months that the shower was out in my flat. Sorry.

I have to totally agree with you MamaMolly.0 -
Biggest pet peeve...friends that complain about not working out enough and not losing weight even though I offer them free access to my gym, 24/7.
Other pet peeve, my wife saying "It's ok to cheat a little". Um, no! I've not been losing weight successfully by cheating a little.0 -
people who don't wipe down their equipment or put away their weights after they're finished.. who do they expect is going to clean up after them?0

Not being considerate or leaving the place as clean as you found it. So not re-racking weights, wiping down equipment, leaving your random crap all over the place. Swiss balls (at my gym) don't live in the squat rack.
Two new ones, recently: 1. The guy who owns the squat rack, like, say, for over an hour. I know I should ask to work in, but the dude is moving plates and gear around like it's his occupation. Every set required more or less weight, or the addition or subtraction of a brace; 2. The guy who talks while leaning on the squat rack, adjusts the bench underneath it to make me think he will eventually do bench press, rests his water bottle on the safety arms... but never uses the damn thing (and I've been tentative about using it for 15 minutes).
These things have driven me to be more bold in asking to use equipment at the gym.0 -
My pet peeve is women who think they will look like a body builder if they start lifting weights.0
-
The ol" un-re-racked weights. And at my gym, weights that have been actually re-racked, in the wrong spot. 30lb dumb bell in the 20lb spot, which throws off the rest of the dumb bells and you have to go searching.
And, yeah, it ain't my business, but the people lying on the cardio machines. If you have to lie down on the stair stepper to keep up, you are totally out your range of ability and being counterproductive. But, Hey!, you call yourself working out. lol0 -
At my club, there is a gaggle of teenagers (one of whom is an EMPLOYEE) who hang around, draped over whatever piece of equipment I want to use, it seems, and prattle on about how they HATE yoga, and did you see so-and-so and blah!
I snarkily asked them one time while they were draping themselves over a machine if they were DONE with it (even though they weren't actually USING it). It felt good!0 -

I have a friend who lives in his music studio without a shower. He signed up for the YMCA just to use the showers. He DOES work out a little bit first I think.0 -
My personal peeve is a specific person. He loads up every bar with a craptonne of weight, does one rep at each and leaves. WHY??? WHYYYYYYY????0
-
I have a giggler at my gym. I can hear him with my headphones on. He'll use a cardio machine near mine, and giggle for 30 minutes straight. I'm assuming he's listening to a comedy routine or something, since it is literally non-stop guffawing. Nothing is that funny. This has happened multiple times.0

Not a rant, sorry, but this post and reply made me smile from deep inside!
Grew up pre-cable days (yes, I'm that old.) and had only CBS for mom's "stories" and PBS. BR always came on after RomperRoom, Sesame Street, Electric Company, New Zoo Review (and one other, that I can't remember for the life of me.) Then nap time...Bob Ross was like 'ludes. Always calming.0 -
Watching people machine hop at the gym. 5 mins here...2 mins there. LOL!0
-
...or the people holding up a machine because they're on their phone and not so much thinking about working out. Grrrr!! lol0

I suppose I should revise this statement. IF you are paying for the membership and want to take a shower and leave, go for it. What I'm referring to is if you do not pay for the membership. There is a number code for the door to get into my fitness club and I'm pretty sure this individual just "borrowed" it from someone.
Ahahaha. I see what you mean. I wasn't really defending my friend much either though. He's like 33. He should get a shower.
