Look at my giant 2 gallon jug of water!
Hydrate! Yes, but even a big bottle doesn't shout "Im so grindy i dont have 10 seconds to refill a proper bottle.
Ha Ha! I keep a one gallon jug with me always. I hate it when people bring it up. Like I carry it around to get attention or something. Too funny! Mind your own hydration.0 -
Generally just not following rules, especially when they are posted right in front of you. How hard is it to read a sign and follow directions?0

Re-racking!!
I'm the 1st person to hit the Gym every day (Around 4am)
I spend just as much time taking weights off barbells and placing dumbbells back on racks as I do actually working out.
Got some real lazy *kitten*'s working out late at night.
The amount of Towels and drink bottles sprawled everywhere does my head in as well.
How the hell do so many people just forget to grab their *kitten* when they leave.
I should ask for wages :P0 -
All the excuses you hear from people about why they won't try this or that. All the "I'm not coordinated enough"s and the "I'll make mistakes."
You'll never get coordinated if you don't try, And who cares if you make mistakes, no one that matters is watching and judging you anyway.0 -
... I really only have ONE huge pet peeve....
There is usually a line for one of my group fitness classes (some of the classes have started handing out numbers...which I LOVE). I usually get there decently early (I understand some people can't, and sometimes I can't either).... BUT when I actually get a good spot, it REALLY annoys me when some little punk comes in LATE and stands right in front of me... causing me to move back, losing my view of the instructor.
Seriously... when I come in late I stand in the back (which really sucks... because I can barely see the instructor... I'm 5'2)... but, I do it! UGH.
Other than that.... meh.0 -
I hate the dipsticks who complain about other people staring at what people do in the gym. If I want to meticulously observe someone's every movement at the gym and then post about it on forums, then I'm gonna do it and you better learn to deal with that. I pay $39.99 at the end of month for this membership, you little nitwit. Like I'm supposed to look up at the ceiling. Like there's not any mirrors on every damn wall in this joint. Like that chick ain't wearing the brightest booty-accentuating pants in the Lululemon line. Like that fat guy is not doing every cable machine exercise wrong. I'm gonna stare, stare, stare, and continue to post my observations on the internet. You stare and you judge too, you little sanctimonius dweeby apologist.

Odd.
My schedule doesn't have it until next Thursday.
Oh well.
In...to catch up later and skim through to see if there's anything new in this round.0 -

In 2.5 years you've only had 30 things you felt worth saying...and one of them is to complain about people changing in the changing room?0 -

Wait...that pisses you off? I love seeing that! As long as they don't get seriously injured, though.0 -
When people don't re-rack their weights, if you can put them on, you can take them off. I shouldn't have to unrack your bar before I can adjust the height and then load it up for myself.
When all the squat racks are being used for curling.0 -

Well it is OUR section.

Cardio room is that way.0 -
Pass gas in the very small weight area. I actually had to stop using weights because these sisters were always there at the time I was and one (or both) of them made the place stink so bad I couldn't breathe. Good for you for healthy eating, but seriously, YUCK.
Staring at the readout on my machine. Mind your own business, I'm not that interesting.
This is a big one, sitting your butt on a weight machine and proceeding to spend 15 minutes reading facebook, adjusting your music, or calling your BFF to tell her how you're at the gym working out. I HATE having to skip a machine because someone is using it as a chair, and I have a limited time to be at the gym (60 minutes of childcare) so when I go I want to get my routine done efficiently, not have to mess around on something else for a little while because your lazy butt thinks the shoulder press is a recliner.0 -
In case someone here is in my gym: when you see me tapping on my phone between sets, I'm logging by exercise, not texting. That's how I know the weight & rep count to use at any given day.
Stuff that truly bothers me is people hogging a machine / station when they're not doing anything. I'm not talking rest between sets, I'm talking about guys using them as a bench to chat with others. Lift or leave.0 -
naked people walking around in the locker
How do you propse I get from the shower to my locker?0 -

I hate it when I'm trying to go through all the machines at my gym and someone follows me and acts like they're annoyed that I"m hogging the machine when I'm going as fast as I can. And so I'll move to another area and they'll follow me again and act like I'm hogging the machine. I'm very self conscious, I have left many times because someone wouldn't stop following me around and making me uncomfortable.0

Those Young cocky 20-30 yo guys that come in big groups to so call work out ,but are really there to show off how much they can bench,flex in front of the mirror and mack on women.0

These little 18 yr old girls at kickboxing class with awesome bodies who giggle and talk all through class (even when master castillo is explaining something) and hit like they are trying not to break a nail. Why did they chose kickboxing? They take up so much of the teachers time due to poor form and effort and don't make any changes he tells them to make.0

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.
.
OK I love these two! #1 is totally the reason I wipe down machines before I use them in the gym
And #2...that commercial is one of the better AFN ones
. Living overseas watching AFN you actually start to miss "real" commercials. 0 -
Girls who take photos of themselves pretending to work out. (either work out or leave no one wants you here anyway)
Girls who come in hair done makeup done pretending to work out (no the cute trainer doesn't care about you so stop)
Self entitled brats that come with their friend and ask you to get off your cardio machine so they can work out together (the answer is ALWAYS no and now I'm staying on 20 more minutes to spite you)
People who talk on the phone while on a machine (GET OFF. NOW.)
People who clearly have no idea what they're doing but refuse to ask for help (just ask a trainer, it's not that hard...really.)
People who ask you to move because that's "their" machine (oh really buddy?? I don't see your name on it??? wow let me do 20 more minutes JUST to piss you off)
People who judge you as you walk in (I see you judging me...and let me tell you something, you don't look that hot either so back off thanks)
The irony is strong in this one.0 -
People who come in for social hour on the machines - hey are you using that or just keeping it warm??.
People who in the locker room are eating little Debbie's...I mean seriously??
People not cleaning the equipment after they are done.
People who leave the weights just laying around anywhere - put them back where you got them please so we don't have to look for them.0
