Jk I'd never mess with the klokster, ever
My main pet peeves are A) people that don't strip their bars and you don't ever know if they are going to come back or not. And
this one instagram "boogie queen" at my gym who stands right behind the squat rack and uses the fixed bar and dumbbell for all her exercises. Like yo lady! Why you gotta block my access to the squat rack if you aren't going to even use it?? Pfft Oh also, being 4'10"ish I hate when the equipment and spray bottle are so high that I have to jump or stand on my tip toes to reach them. The world is not meant for my munchkin breed!!
Oh, please he only snatches like 425lb that's like warm up weight.
Does he actually workout at your gym btw? That would be amazing to watch a world champion Oly Lifter do his thing.
I think he works out at an oly lifting specific gym. But he mostly trains in Russia do not gonna run into him anytime soon. One of the gyms I frequent at has powerlifters and oly lifters as frequent clientele so it's always fun to see some really technically stunning snatches when you are resting between sets!
Ahh, too bad I would love to hear what his training looks like. I'm sure 6-8 hours a day like most in the east seem to do.
I used to be in an Oly lifting club but was ramping up for my first comp and ended up screwing up my shoulder when I was late for a training session one day and started snatching too heavy without warming up. Messed up the dislocate and my delt was toast.
Yeah there was a girl I met at the last PL meet I did and she tweaked her shoulder training for an oly lifting comp. So she decided to switch to powerlifting. Go figure! Olympic lifters in general just amaze me. The majority seem so disciplined and dedicated to mastering technique... and they are somehow able to move super heavy weight! It baffles me! Meanwhile I try doing any oly lifting and I am a mess! I think I'll stick to powerlifting haha 1 -
Klokov be da man!

I built a home gym specifically because people are awful and I don't want to be near them.
But pro-tip for gym-goers: Wear headphones and ignore everyone.5 -

Yeah, switched to PL after but I still maintain the lifts, just at a much lower weight now. The biggest problem when you age is not the slow decline in strength for lifters, it's the much more rapid decline in speed around the mid to late 20's. This is why Powerlifters can continue to improve well into their 30's while Oly lifters tend to peak much sooner. There are some amazing exceptions but you don't see a lot of people in top form beyond the early 30's.0 -

1. The guy that pulls a set of dumbbells off of the rack and then stands right in front of it while he does a set, blocking access for anyone else needing weights.
2. The people that work out in straight street clothes. I used to belong to a gym where this guy would lift in jeans and cowboy boots, like he thought he was Chuck Norris.
3. The ppl who bring an oversized water bottle to the water fountain and then take 10 minutes filling that thing up while a line stacks up behind them. Fill that shite up at home son, or move aside so a guy can get a quick drink.
4. The dude that shouts "Hey, I'm using that!" from across the gym, while he's using several other pieces of equipment.
5. The stinky folk. I used to share the gym with an old man who would wear one of those plastic suits designed to help you cut weight, and he would work out in it every time and I'm pretty sure just throw it back in his gym bag until next time. You could smell that guy from across the gym.
I'm guilty of the second point, only on a treadmill. I use the fitness center (their words) where I work to walk on my lunch break when the weather is bad outside. I can't see the point in changing to sweats for that.0 -
Paying full price for a membership when I clean up stray dumbbells, strip weight off unused bars, make sure each bench/power rack has a pair of clips, organize dumbbell/kettlebell racks, return equipment to its appropriate spot
The "fill my bottle/shaker cup at the water fountain" people
However the "taking too long with X" doesn't really bother me, since I walk up and ask to work in, and 90% let me. I will gladly do all the weight changes for you if you let me work in0 -

Skinny shaming is the real problem.
Oh, so sarcasm wins debates for you does it? I've faced real issues growing up half-native in a predominantly white area and the occasional issues I faced when I was obese didn't even come close to that. Nobody should ever feel made inferior for what they look like, but at least when I was obese I could lose weight, I can't change my DNA. So don't get me started on what's worse.
None of it is good. Making fun of people who go to "sissy" health clubs isn't good either.
PF isn't a sissy club and I don't think I've heard anyone actually claim that here. It doesn't meet my needs but that doesn't mean others don't find it useful and I know of some pro bodybuilders that have worked out at a PF now and then and find it adequate in a pinch for them.
I don't agree with some people's premise that everyone there is not serious about fitness, though.
I'm not really sure anyone has voiced that premise either, but PF's success depends on collecting two large groups of people as members: resolutioners who pay into long-term memberships but don't use the gym after one or two sessions, and casual exercisers who never progress past needing cardio equipment and basic weights. Are there people serious about fitness there? Yes, but it's not the majority of their members. Something like half of the people with PF contracts never go to the gym at all. If you can meet your goals and enjoy the environment at PF while paying their super-low membership fees (subsidized by all the no-shows), awesome for you. But that doesn't make their business practices that involve shaming and ridiculing less objectionable, IMO, which is what most of us who dislike PF take issue with.
Connor Murphy found the idea of PF objectionable, but not his actual experience at one.

The franchises get it independently from local pizza joints, at their own discretion. My PF gets it from a local House Of - not from a corporate place like Dominoes or Pizza Hut. It varies from place to place. The hitch is it's only once a month they do this. The first Friday of the month for my PF. And they get it in the early afternoon when the club is at its emptiest. Once the after work crowd comes in, during peak busy hours, the pizza is usually gone or almost gone.

Ok I just read your edit. Well, not impressed.

My annoyance are people in dance fitness classes who think they're frigging god's gift and everyone else should just GTFO because they're so *kitten* hot at every class ever that if you're not you're just not trying and shouldn't be allowed to be there much less up front where you can see the teacher the best. or even, as a girl I danced with did, had to go at the front because she couldn't dance with her glasses on and without them she was absolutely blind. (She got laser eye surgery about half way through our time there, she swiftly moved to the back, ha!).
And honestly, if someone thinks their spacial awareness is so much better than the other people in class, then they should be able to dodge every stray limb bullet pretty well instead of try and shame people sho perhaps weren't blessed with great co-ordination but go to a dance FITNESS class for the pure enjoyment knowing their skill level isn't up to an actual dance class.
Want to dance be proven you're great and capable of learning proper technique? Take an actual dance class and get back to me.16 -

Annoyances at the gym! Well, they aren't annoyances to me but....Guys who wear manbuns, yoga pants and toe shoes at the same time make me giggle. Kinda hard to not laugh in the middle of my set. Guys that are puffer fish, peacocks or guys with imaginary lat syndrome make me laugh too. Sometimes they hear me and make their way to the movie room/safe space to gather their emotions after being offended by my giggle. People who whine about weights being dropped are annoying, these are the same people that text or instagram while occupying a machine. Women that wear a lot of makeup all dressed up but don't really workout to break a sweat and take selfies while occupying a machine. We have two gyms owned by the same company, one is more of a social club type atmosphere, the other is a hardcore noisy gym for serious lifters.
Men wear toe shoes at your gym?
In my world those are pointe shoes. Sorry if this has been mentioned. I'm on a multi page catch up!0 -
I also hate when I'm going to golds gym and trying to get my pump on when. Arnold Schwarzenegger comes up to me and tries to motivate me/give me advice, but he is disguised really badly as some random gym employee. Stop it Arnold! We all know it's you!

I have a home gym now but here is my list:
Heavy perfume use.
<snip>
Heavy perfume aroma is a migraine trigger for me, so this annoys me everywhere. It wasn't always something specific to the gym. I have to say, I'd rather smell b.o. than Axe any day.
Interestingly, in one gym I belonged to, you had to pass by the entrance to the men's locker room to get to the women's locker room. The overbearing level of fragrance products coming from the men's area far surpassed that of the women. It actually surprised me.3 -

*Whistles innocently*
You'd think Zumba was Rambert or some shiz how seriously people take it. If you don't like people, there's Youtube. I use Youtube because I know people and I aren't the best mix.
That said, I will get myself together enough to go learn silks and do aerial yoga at some point.4 -

I don't have an annoyance to share, but I do wanna ask a question. To those that said they don't like people trying to talk to them when they have headphones on, what if someone is trying to ask you if they can work in while you're resting between sets? I totally understand the "jarred out of my zone/headphones mean don't talk to me" mindset, but what other way is there to ask to use some equipment?
On Wednesday, I was trying to use the seated row machine, but another woman was setting herself up on it. I saw that she had headphones on, and I felt bad interrupting her, but I did ask her if we could switch off for our sets. She seemed OK with it and we both got our workouts in, but reading these comments makes me wonder what she was thinking.
Thoughts?1 -

I'd be startled but not annoyed. I don't wear them as a "back off" message personally, I wear them because their music is generally repetitive and there's always white noise of people trying to talk over it and machines...it's too much like having my kids around.
I am very much zoned out. 1 -

This would be fine, IMO. I wear my headphones when I don't want someone starting up a random conversation with me or hitting on me. If someone politely gets my attention and asks to work in, that's not a problem at all.
But please leave me alone after that! 2 -

There is a purpose. [/quote]
Or you could get wrestling shoes or minimalist running shoes that aren't model after Al Bundy (that's actually true btw).

That's what I use, my feet are too wide for chucks or the like. I've gone barefoot too, but it's too painful lately.
