Honestly all you people make newbies scared to go to a gym and it's why I work out at home! Unfortunately, I know eventually I will want to use heavier weights so I guess it's inevitable, but I seriously am dreading it because of you people. Get over yourselves! I have to use my phone because I'm new to weightlifting and strength training. So I use it to make sure my form is correct and I check it between every different exercise I do to see what I need to do next and the correct form for that one. You should all mind your own business and worry about your own workout because I'm sure there is something you do that bothers at least one other person in your gym.0

Why should I have to go to a specific gym? That's just asinine!0

The main thing I hate at my gym is the creepy old dude that works there that stares at me. He is also handicapped (so I feel bad) so I can hear his crutches following me wherever I go. His only saving grace is that I know I could take him down if he ever tried to make an unwanted move.0

There's a 90 year old at mine who always walks up and tells me "looking good" and then places his hand in an almost inappropriate place.
When I'm 90, I may do the same thing to some young stud though, so who am I to judge?0 -

There is an older guy who goes to my gym who literally does this. I always wondered why there arent any young female at my gym.0 -

I wish more women went naked/topless in my locker room so I wouldn't have that teeny tiny amount of dubiousness I feel about myself going topless while getting ready.0 -

right?! haha. They're obviously not a threat just a bit unnerving. I always find where he is so when I bend over to stretch my *kitten* is not facing towards him, lol.0 -
The best was that I wanted to use a machine and I had to wake the guy up. He took a break and fell asleep on the machine.0

I agree with you. If I hated everything about the gym or parts of it, I wouldn't go. I don't want to waste my time hating on somebody when they are going to continue doing what they are doing. I do my thing and get out.0 -

Hate that also. If you can't lift that much and put it down with ease don't lift.0 -

Agree, if I was legitimately furious, I probably wouldn't go. You've got to let it roll of your back. People at the gym are just like people anywhere else you might go.0 -

You should tell the lifter that.

i'm pretty lucky in that my gym is small and local, but i purposely avoid going at peak times (i.e. evenings) because of all the 'bro'/'lads' who go to the gym in groups of 5-10 and stand about talking and leering, taking 15 minute rests between sets and taking up loads of room and equipment in such a small gym.
we also get a lot of school kids coming in cos the lower age limit is only like, 15 (too low, IMO). they either stand around a lot and don't know what to do with themselves, or try to copy what you're doing and end up using bad form/overfacing themselves
but #1 HATRED is people not reracking their plates from the leg press/calf raise. especially as it always seems to be the 50kg plates which i can't lift from that angle without hurting myself.0
