What are some things that annoy you at the gym??

elphie754

Other people not minding their own business. Anyone who attempts to sell a MLM product even though they are strictly forbidden from advertising at our gym.

Re-rack the damn weights! Put equipment away when you're done! Clean up. Just the common courtesy/gym etiquette stuff.

Standing 2 ft away from the dumbbell rack and doing shoulder work, blocking access to the weights

Loud treadmills. People who throw the weights when they're done.

Yes people who throw weights.
People who rest for long periods and hog machines.

Here we go again...
What about someone utilizing a longer rest period hurts you? It's not unreasonable for someone training for strength to have 3-5 minute rest periods.
Train for your goals in your way. Let other people train for theirs in their way.

If the person resting lets others work in its all good

Well, I have a home gym now, but when I first started lifting, the one that got me was people leaving 45 pound plates all over the place. I couldn't even lift them to move them away and hated asking for help all the time.

My nitpicky side would come out when the dumbbells weren't put away in order. I should have been happy that they were at least put away.

People that don't use the locker room and carry bags and coats around. Oh and people that talk in the phone

I'm not real concerned about people wiping off machines unless puddles This has just been a thing in the last 20 years or so

What is disturbing though is the dude thst leaves a major transaction that stinks out the locker room and walks past the sinks without stopping to go workout.

When gallant gentlemen at the gym offer to carry those heavy weights back to the rack for me. Um... you did just see me lift those up and down for the past hour, right?

everher

People who try to talk to me at the gym.

I've never understood how a stranger having a phone conversation hurts anyone else.

Because they are usually talking loudly and it messes with concentration. And hearing people's personal business is annoying too.
