Things you hate at the gym!!!

There's this guy at my gym who is the epitome of obnoxious. He hisses and grunts on EVERY lift, throws weights to the ground (not just drops them - he THROWS them), listens to his music via the speakers on his phone. The worst part is the pep talks. Between sets, he'll go over to the mirror, stare at himself deeply in the eyes, and yell things like "WE GO HARD!" "WE GOT THIS." "WE ARE STRONG."
This is an apartment complex gym. Quiet down man, it's a tiny space.
Haha oh dear I don't think I'd be able to workout with him in the same gym without laughing. Also with the pep talks I don't know why but I imagined him doing the Cool Runnings pep talk - I see pride! I see power! I see a bad *kitten* mother that don't take no crap off of nobody!!0 -
When I knock my water all over the floor, people that take forever on the bench press. guys the hang their towel on their shoulder when CLEARLY it should be around their waist and people that come to the gym for attention.
I have always carried my towel on my shoulder. You mad?0 -
Is it wrong this reminds me of that 'FRIENDS' episode..? (Ross hiding under the bed)
I think i'm a horrible enough person to make an obnoxious comment behind him as i walk passed...0 -
The guys who just like to look in the mirror at themselves and block the rack of weights0

I hate when every bike, treadmill, elliptical, etc in the gym is empty and someone comes to the one right next to the one I'm on
^^This^^ and those that "save" another machine after they're done with another one. Really?!?!? I have to wait for the one you're already on but can't use this one in the meantime????0 -

I would say that the only thing that I hate at the gym is when a few jerks rag on me and my friends while we are doing Zumba... But, that does not happen very often...0

At the gym with my headphones in, I hear nothing and see nothing. Everyone else could be naked for all the attention I pay. 90% of all the silly crap going on has no effect on me.
There's really only 3 things that get to me:
- People leaving dumbbells and plates laying around on the ground all over the gym. I'd rather not trip over because you're a lazy messy *kitten*.
- People with their towel on 1 machine, drink bottle on another, pen/paper on a third, while using a fourth. Lots of people work out here. If you want to hog half the gym for two hours, buy your own gear and work out at home. Here you have to share with everyone else because we're paying just as much as you are. I'll happily let you work in with me if you ask, or even just look at me while I'm resting between sets. You don't need to get angry.
- People who try to stop me mid-set to give me advice and tell me how I'm doing it wrong. If you wait until I'm finished a set, I'll probably listen and maybe take it on board, or take it with a grain of salt. Trying to talk to me mid-set is a pretty big sign that you have no idea.
Fortunately, I've found that there's a nice window between about 7am and 9:30am, after the office workers leave and before the school mums turn up, when it's rare for there to be more than about 5 people there.
My gym has actually started cracking down on a few of these now. If they actually catch you leaving plates around on the floor, they give warnings and suspensions. No towel = $10 fine on your account each time. Too many legitimate complaints about you gets a warning/suspension as well. It's all in the membership contract, people just don't read the fine print.0 -
I hate when I'm about to take a group fitness class and there are a whole bunch of people waiting to get inside. As soon as the gf instructor opens the door, everyone pushes and bumps each other to get in. Um, pushing me is not going to get you into the class any faster. And don't look crazy when you get cussed out.
I see this all the time, never understood this, do yall have a special spot in those classes???0 -
^ when this guy stares at my dong in locker room while im trying to talk to him about breaking bad.

When the entire row of treadmills is available and that one person decides to use the one right NEXT TO ME! :noway:
I said the something identical!!!0 -

I just moved to Los Angeles and i've tried out about 8 different gyms to decide which one to go to, and the common theme here is no one ever re-racks their weights. That rustles my jimmies more than anything.
Also when people aren't even near the weight/bench/machine/squat rack that they're using then you assume it's open and then they come out of nowhere and say they weren't done using it
You must have been to my gym! Lol We're neighbors. That drives me batty.
Hahah nice, I joined 24 hour fitness and have been going to the one in Torrance and I'm really starting to regret it. I get more and more pissed every time I go. It's constantly crowded 24/7 and weights are all over the place, and I can never get a squat rack because people camp in it and are using it for just about everything other than squats. Seems like no one is there to actually lift. The one in Long Beach is garbage and the one in North Torrance is even worse so idk what to do.
Yep, that's the one. :noway:0 -
This is sooooo funny. Just today, I was having a round table discussion at the gym.
Topic: Things you hate about MFP!!!
Sounds like a new thread topic in the making!!0 -
I've always been "invisible" in life. In high school people ran into me all the time as if I wasn't there. Take this and multiply it by 10...that's gyms for me. I've almost been knocked down the stairs before! IDK what it is about gyms, but I'm extra invisible to fellow gym goers...0

Mine is the gym's own group of personal trainers that continuously bother me and try to get me to sign up for their sessions. I say that I'm not interested each time, but they stop me on the way out when I'm covered and sweat and out of breath, and will do so almost each time I go to my gym. Since I have social anxiety I stopped going for a while. I'm back in and haven't run into the same ones yet so here's hoping they stopped bugging!0

OP's Post:and looking at women at the gym.....
I hate people like you at the gym. Being looked at is such a big pet peeve- not just from guys, but I hate feeling like I'm being watched.
The gym is not for you to go and ogle women. It's a place to focus on YOU and your health goals. :grumble:0 -
Guys moaning while they're on the treadmill next to me. REALLY....it's THAT exhausting?! Sweat pouring off and them not wiping it off the machine too!0
-
If there is one thing for me to hate about the gym, then i have to say that they are not open 24 hours a day so i could even go to there at nights when i have trouble sleeping
Yeah that would be handy.0 -

By far one of the best movie pep talks ever.... might be right behind the Miracle pep talk0 -
When girl look messy,no make up,hair in a gross ponytale,ect. come on ladies
Wow, er don't ever come to my gym then lol. My philosophy is it's not about how you look in the gym, it's about how the gym makes you look the rest of the time. So yeah, I gradually sweat off my makeup and my hair frizzes up with heat and moisture and my face gets red (especially when I lift), but in my experience you get a lot more respect from the serious athletes there if you're not primping and applying mascara but working your *kitten* off.
That's why they make waterproof makeup
Yeah.. NO. I'm not wearing freaking makeup and doing my hair to go to the gym. Not happening.0 -
I'm guilty of that but only because sometimes I don't wash my makeup off at nightgirls wearing make-up
Start making an effort to take it off. Sleeping with makeup on will ruin your skin long term.
I have a friend who always did that... still does in fact. She has skin like a lizard.0 -
Not being able to talk to all the hot women!0
