Oh god, there was a guy like that right next to me at the gym tonight. Even worse was that he kept up a running commentary about how awesome and fast he was. I just wanted him to shut it.0 -
When there are a whole row of stationary bikes to use and someone takes a bike directly next to me.4

The most annoying moment is when i want to do cardio and all the machines are equipped and i have to wait for a long time.0

Hate being hit on. Or when someone asks to feel my biceps. Or takes selfies with my abs, wants me to break pencils with my pecs or asks to bounce quarters off my glutes. Or when people interrupt my set to tell me how good looking I am. Or when people humble brag on the treadmill right next to me. Any of those are JUST THE WORST.10

I can handle the perfumes and farts. I HATE the smoker smell. Need to change my routine when a stinky smoker is near me.
WORD. I used to smoke and I am your stereotypical reformed smoker and can't stand anything about it now.1 -
People who leave their weights on the squat rack.
Also when they are doing something else, but don't want to let you share the machine they're taking a break from.0 -
why start a thread to complain? really there has to be something more positive to talk about. jmo0

usually what annoys you in others, maybe take a look at yourself? again jmo6 -
Annoyance at gym: people that complain about being out of shape as they hit Wendy's after 5 mn on the TM. Other than that.....using the squat rack as your yoga mat.
For the most part, kudos for consistency. We all have to start somewhere.0 -
