People/Things at the gym that piss you off?..
Replies

you know, i used to wonder why so many people got self-conscious about going and being at the gym.
but after seeing all of the threads out there like this, now i understand.
i like to be the person that helps someone that is doing something wrong, because i hope they keep coming back because people are nice there, not because anyone is judging them.0 -
People who give me 'Why the hell are you here, fatty?' looks while I'm working out. It's uncomfortable working out with half the other people in the gym judging you for not being instantly skinny and fit after two work-outs.
Just keep doing your thing, chances are nobody is looking at you. And if somebody is watching/judging you, they're probably going "good for her, working out and taking care of her health!" :-)0 -
It pisses me off when Joe Gorga is at the gym, minding his own business .... and in walks Teresa being a *****, having to start **** ... any of RHONJ fans here? Huh? Huh?
But it's Teresa's gym! =P0 -
Crossed eyed people with staring problems.0

I help people out all of the time- those aren't the people most of us are annoyed with. But don't be so sensitive, anyway.0 -
Damn, I will stop doing this. Or maybe I should just do it in the women's locker room from now on.naked people walking around in the locker

We have that guy too, except he is super hairy, puts the incline all the way up, holds on for dear life and sprays sweat and hair in a 5 ft radius around him. It is very disconcerting.
hahahah! EWWWW!!!0 -
When the trainer comes up to ME and says, "You should work out in my group class" I told him no thanks, I'm happy with my heavy lifting that I do on my own, for free. He says, " Lifting heavy is bad for your joints. My high rep, machine lifting, strips off the fat and burns more calories." I LOL'd at him.0

From a gym employees perspective:
Not re-racking....sure I don't mind the exercise of the 45 discs but my weak *kitten* can't lift the 120 lb dumbbells...well, not yet
Leaving towels all around the gym...I get my steps in for the day but I don't want to touch your sweaty, nasty towel...there is a basket for that
Weak grunters...you know those that sound like they are "enjoying" a partner but lift very little....I know everyone can't lift the same poundage but this particular dude lifts like 200 lbs and acts like he's lifting 1700 lbs. Seriously, you gotta stop trying to lift heavier than you're able....you need to work up to that...oh and he turns tomato red. He'll probably explode one day
Someone who gets mad because their key is "broken"...it's broken because you didn't pay your bill (usually)
Oh and those that complain about the cost of the membership - seriously you think we can have all that equipment, pay the utilities, and employees without charging you??
mmmmmm.... that's all I can think of right now

People's thingies at the gym piss me off too.0

People getting pissed of at other people in the gym.
There is more to life than being hung up on someone else's issues. If you've got enough time to get annoyed by someone else, you need to find something more to do, because you've got too much time.
Oh, you must be so zen. Please, like you never get pissed off about anything.0 -
DYEL x2
DYEL?doing 5 reps and counting that as a set and taking 3 times as long to recover and go '*smile* oh sorry there did you want this??
The gym is probably the only time where I turn into a biiiiiiotch

I don't understand why people are annoyed by a lot of things at the gym. Who cares if someone is wearing make up, maybe they just came from work. Who cares if someone has a big gallon of water. Who cares if someone is grunting.
I've never seen anyone give anyone a "why are you here, you're fat" look. I think most people are imagining it.
Also, people always complain about people trying to compete with them on the treadmill. I've never seen this and I think most people are also imagining it.
All that bothers me is when people don't take their weights off the squat bar - only when they are the really heavy weights. I am a weakling and unracking them is a workout itself!
I suppose if someone was wearing really really heavy perfume it would bother me, but I hardly ever run into that.0 -
There are a few girls who have their phone shoved in their underwear on their side! It just skeeves me out to see them dig their phones out and then touch workout equipment!
Other than that, I have these couples that follow each other around like puppies at the gym! I understand support but geez, there is no way I'd be stuck like glue to someone at the gym!0 -
When there are people at the gym it pisses me off. :grumble:
I work out in a private gym and almost always am alone in the weight room. There may be one or two people on the cardio equipment from time to time. I know what you're thinking . . . la ti freaking da princess. Whatever.
I know I'm spoiled but when I walk in and there's someone else in the weight room it just ruins my whole workout. Luckily, it's a rare thing.0 -
There is this guy who screen talks to college football while running on the treadmill.
So imagine this, you're running or walking along, jamming out to, let's say, "I'm sexy and I Know It" (not that I would do this, just an example) in your headphones, and all of a sudden from three treadmills over someone yells, "C'MON MAN!!!" Oh my God. He startled me so much I nearly lost my footing. A few plays later, "WHAT THE HEEEEEEEEEEEL?? GET UP!" Dude, really? This goes on all college and NFL season.0 -
ps you forgot 'staring at every chick in the process' ha!
Again, there's looking and then there is staring like an idiot.. I feel embarrassed for the girl having some one burn a hole through them from a long death type stare.. Sure she's hot as hell,..pull a sneaky look and get back to your *kitten*0 -
Everything about the gym pissed me off. That's why I only work out at home now. It's fantastic.
I used to hate people who wanted to chat with me. If I wanted to talk while working out, I would have brought a buddy...and I wouldn't have earbuds in!0 -
People on the phone while on heavily occupied equipment; IE bench, squat rack, or pretty much everything.
Bench hogs using more than one piece of equipment.
That one guy who spends more time talking about how awesome a lifter he is rather than actually lifting.
Not whipping down equipment; the immunizations we get in the military is pretty serious. You DO NOT want to catch smallpox because someone decided to be inconsiderate.
The random joe who tries tell everyone their "better" way to workout. There is a funny AFN commercial I wish I could link. A guy in flip flops does shoulder presses on the seated leg press.

yeah this-^, I get it you like letting your stuff "air dry" just stay in the corner and away from me. Also do not sit on the bench in the locker room without a towel down or putting some pants on.0 -
doing 5 reps and counting that as a set and taking 3 times as long to recover and go '*smile* oh sorry there did you want this??
The gym is probably the only time where I turn into a biiiiiiotch
This is exactly what I do. After lifting a ****ton of weight for 5 reps, I give myself 2-4 minutes to allow my heart rate to fall close to normal.0 -

Yep. Even worse, on 1RM of deads I may let the weights slam a bit and even let out a grunt. *shudder*0 -

You mean you make noise when you are at you maximum level of exertion?! *gasp* Heathen!0 -
They guy who wears that hefty back suit thing, then a nylon track suit over that, then a hoodie over that. Then runs his *kitten* off on the treadmill full speed, full incline. This in itself does not piss me off. Honestly it doesn't.
Hey, whatever floats your boat there buddy.
However, he gets off and can barely walk because he's so lightheaded and about to pass out. If he ever did, THAT would piss me off. I'm an old EMT and programmed to help, it's just in my dna. I'll do it. But I'll be grumpy while I do. :grumble: Because really this action is kind of goofy. Why does someone need to torture himself like that.
And, he's too old to be on either the High School or College wrestling teams, so I don't get it. Also, he's too tall to be a jockey. I don't understand why he does this stuff to "make weight".0 -
People that uses the equipment and don't return it to where they got it from after they are done using it. Oh and when they leave the machines all sweaty. sick.0
