    When people don't wipe down the machines when they really should have. You know the ones.

    Honestly I have so many issues with the gym that I bought some good equipment and do everything at home now. Don't miss the gym.

    In answer to your question, unsolicited advice from total strangers who have no freaking idea what I am trying to accomplish

    People - usually men who hog two weight machines at the same time and refuse to let me have either one to do my 3 reps and get out of dodge. Then they stay there for 35 mins as if that muscle will grow over night.

    Have to agree, whenever I'm working out in the same area as a spin class I can forget about using my muscle mind connection, it decreases my focus. There's just something about thoses leggings.

    People who bounce while they're running on treadmills, causing breakage... Slow it down by .5 and you won't be elephanting the poor machine.

    People who put on perfume or cologne before a cardio workout. I need a gas mask sometimes.

    Nothing really, it's mine and mine only! Only need to buy some more plates and add equipment once in a while.

    THIS!

    Not just bench but anything. They do like one set of 10 reps then spend 20 minutes on the phone while you shoot daggers at them.

    ARGH!!!!

    Nothing really. I tune out the world around me and get my workout on. My time is my time. People might be frustrated with me but I wouldn't know and don't care.

    I get annoyed at myself when my legs tremble because they're not used to the workout. It makes me feel weak :(
