    I hate just about all the things everyone here listed and that's why I have my own gym at home and I work out to exercise dvd's.

    Women with "stank" perfume, dudes that hog the equipment with their buddies, people yapping on cell phones, the fear of getting a staph infection from someone who refuses to wipe the sweat off the equipment,.....................and the list goes on and on. I don't have to put up with it anymore.

    The only issue I have is with one guy in particular. He seems to hop on the elliptical every time I am roughly half way through my run on the treadmill. What's the big problem you ask? He farts. Not little quiet toots either. Loud, smelly, WTF did he have for lunch farts. :sick: :sick: As you can already imagine, I'm running and breathing a littlen heavy. I inhale deeply and end up gagging, choking and having to stop my run until I can breathe again. :mad: :explode: :grumble:

    Funniest. Post. Ever.

    I have 1 public gripe - LAY OFF THE PERFUME/COLOGNE. When I'm running, I don't want a big inhale of Eau de Street Hooker.

    My other gripe was with the perky, maybe college aged, woman who hopped on the treadmill next to me the other day, wearing her running gear and looking all fit and trim. I'm plugging along on, doing my Galloway training, so I was doing intervals. She checked out my machine to see what I was doing and just HAD to show me up and bumped up her speed faster than mine. And guess who barely made it 10 minutes?! HA! She thought she was gonna show me up because I was older and overweight. I SHOWED HER!

    But I seriously love my gym. Wouldn't go there 6 days a week if I didn't!

    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.

    When a guy sits on the end of the bench listening to music and playing fake drums while staring in the mirror at himself............while other people are waiting to use the same equipment.

    I love these topics

    Let's see...

    1. Curling in the squat rack
    2. Unracking my weights while I am there
    3. Talking on the cellphone while sitting on the bench
    4. Circuit trainers who take 5 sets of dumbbells and leaves them on the ground while they go run around the gym
    5. People who don't wipe their equipment after use
    6. Not re racking the weights

    B.O.-I don't just mean a slight odor because you are working out and sweating, I mean the kind that makes you smell like you haven't bathed in about a week. No way is that smell just because you are working out. You are clearly not bathing on a regular basis.

    Cologne/Perfume-Why are you bothering with this nonsense? Again you are not bathing on a regular basis so you decided to make me even more nauseous with the como of old spice and your b.o.? If you are going to cover up the fact that you reek at least invenst in some decent cologne/perfume and stop pouring on the designer imposters.

    Sitting/Talking/Napping On A Machine- There are some that don't want to live here. No one is expecting you to do fifty reps and then get off the machine right away but you are sitting there staring off to space and some would like to get home sometime today. Do your reps and get off the god damned machine.

    Employees Using Equpiment- I attend a gym where one of the employees got on the treadmill, literally sweat on it and then didn't wipe it down with any antibaterial wipes for the next person to use. Uhhh, YOU WORK HERE.

    Probably because they don't understand what eating at a deficit is; they're probably eating back their calories. But whatevs, they're building up some sort of stamina, and as long as they are actually using the services provided by the facility and are happy with their own appearance and fitness, then leave them be.
