    There was a group of three or four guys that would scream and yell as they raised the weight on a dead lift and drop the barbell hard to floor from a distance of their knees. I think owner got so many complaints they were asked not to re up their membership because I have not seen or heard them in a month or two. Also, the guy that loves to wear his ear muff style music headphones and sing out loud to his favorite songs as he is rowing on the erg machine. Actually pretty funny listening to his version of the Police's Roxanne, reminded me of the Eddie Murphy movie.

    That was me! But, I think your scenario is totally different and not at all annoying! When no one us around, who cares!! At my gym the locker room is always women in various stages if undress. I don't think I've ever seen it empty.

    When I do get caught, I straight up tell them "I've recently lost a lot of weight and I'm proud of it and I want pictures to compare before and afters" I really don't care what they think lol

    That's awesome!! And congrats on the loss!! Do people really confront you?! Even if it bugs me I would never tell them to stop, unless I was naked in the background haha! People have got to loosen up a bit![/quote]

    if no one is around or in the background, that's fine, but if I'm in a state of undress (not just straight up naked) I don't want to be in the background of someone's picture.

    But the one next to you might be that person's favourite bike. If you can have a favourite why can't they.

    And yes, I have a favourite treadmill at my gym and you bet I'm going to use it even if someone is on the one next to it.

    Agreed! The first couple of times I used the treadmill at the gym I'd spend the time stressing out if someone got on the one next to me when there were half a dozen other machines open. Then I realized that with all the machines facing a bank of tvs all on different channels, people are just wanting to plant in front of a show they like.

    Yep. At my gym each treadmill has its own TV, but there is one where the TV doesn't work, so I avoid that one. And another one is stuck on the Kardashian channel. Strangely enough, that one is always available.

    I did that once at a gym; not because it was my favorite bike but so I could keep an eye on my car. Known fact that rates of theft are really high in gym parking lots.
