    @AshleyM - you and Dyetcoke are killing me with laughter. I don't think I'll be able to make eye contact with another one of the swimming beauties in my gym ever again!!!!

    Women who assumes that every guy is trying to flirt with them - change your attitude. Just because you are gorgeous doesn't mean that I want you.....

    When the 50+ year old lady, who is 6" shorter than me and probably half my body weight lifts way more than I can...

    - Girls walking in with their make up and hair all in check, stricking conversations with the guys and then leaving right after.
    - Girls that wear those really padded push up bras. When you are working out, the point is to strap them down.
    - When people stand behind me, just doing nothing, while I'm on the treadmill. That's just my own insecurity though because I'm usually wondering how much my *kitten* is shaking.

    Getting to the gym and realizing I left my ear buds home - having to listen to the generic music blaring.

    Ugh, also this...I have been known to skip a workout if I forgot my headphones.

    curling
    in
    the
    f#@king
    squat rack


    sorry i got a little upset there for a second :/

    I don't get why people do this. If you can curl it, you can deadlift it off the ground!

    I knew I should have studied yoga instead of tai chi.

    Guys that come in groups of 2 or more who hog the machines - usually leg and chest press- then work a little, chat a lot, and then change places and repeat so the machine is blocked... had to wait an hour before now while they chat about football, drinking, stuff.....
    People who are doing reps and seem to sit for hours between sets - surely they could let someone else alternate!!
    Sticky machines
    Having to move really large weights from barbells etc that some guy cant be bothered to put away after he's used them before I can do my workout...
    But have to say when I hit the gym at none peak times I love the whole thing x

    Call it a warm up. :bigsmile:

    At the gym I sometimes use, the DBs are a mess so I spend some time pairing up the DBs I intend to use. You could call it a warm up, too.

    LATERSSSSSSSSSZ !!! he's almost using them as hand puppets!

    im guilty of checking out women on the treadmill, well in fact on anything really.
    i hate the guys who sit on a machine texting for about 15 minutes, if your not using it, GET THE **** OFF IT!!!
    also ones who hog all the space and equipment

    1) People who didn't return free weights to the rack when they were done --- C'mon guys... what if someone trip on them?

    2) Weird, expressive grunting --- I have come to accept that some people need to grunt during their last few reps, whatever rocks your boat.... but if you are going to sound like a bonobo on heat throughout your entire set, and I can't blast my music loud enough to drown out your mating call..... I die a little inside.

    bonobos don't do "on heat", they're like that 24/7/365

    rather like humans, but without the social inhibitions....

    that looks like a fun and challenging compound exercise.... maybe crossfit should put that in one of their WODs.

    1) Meatheads who think the entire gym is staring at their muscles.
    2) People who are on the machines but more interested in their phones.
    3) People who just sit on the machine until their next set as if they own it. Uhhh, what happened to gym courtesy?
    4) Guys who stare at girls.
    5) Guys who tell me proper form of exercise.
    6) People who fart on treadmill next to me.
    7) People who have bad breath on treadmill next to me.

    Not a big fan of the gym even though I attend regularly - can you tell?! :-)

    I think both can be done at the same time. :laugh:

    Have to agree with you on this. I go to the gym for me. I set my workout to "full throttle", leaving me sweating and out of breath for the entire time. When I'm breathing between sets, I'm thinking about my next exercise, tracking my calories and heart rate. If I make eye contact with anyone, I give a slow smile... and move along. Just my thought: if you have time to actually check someone out - keep staring... then you're not working out hard enough. Again... just my humble opinion.

    ROFL!!! Please, please, PLEASE tell us what gym you go to... so I can make sure I avoid it like the plague. So sorry for that experience... but still giggling inside.

    I love my gym and pretty much everyone is very respectful of everyone else in there working hard no matter shape, size, age, skill level, etc...

    That said, there is one guy who likes to take the elliptical next to me every time and does this gross snork thing (that sound some people make when they're about to hock a loogie) repeatedly for his entire work out. Seriously dude, blow your nose, go clear out your lungs BEFORE hopping on the machine. I just want to disinfect everything he was near after he's done.

    Yesterday as I was walking to the door of the gym, this huge, sweaty dude opens it and spits right on the sidewalk in front of the door. Effing disgusting.

    I go to a small gym and when it's crowded my anxiety goes up. I have walked in sometimes, turned around and gone back home.
