Biggest Gym Pet Peeves

Treyy_Millz_7

mine has got to be those are who don't offer to let you jump in when waiting to use something (which, fair enough they don't have to do) but what really grinds my gears is when they continue to barely use it! On their phone for ages/ chatting away to a friend.... etc etc during all that time I could have done my set & given the space back to you

Grrr

I don't expect them to make an offer to me to 'work-in' (although, I do this myself).

However, I will ask someone if I can 'work-in' if they are just sitting on a piece of equipment and not training.

( I get it, everyone needs to rest between sets, but if some guy is on his phone for longer than a few minutes.... he's not resting, he's.... well, he's just on his phone .)

My biggest gym peeve, undoubtedly is, folks not racking their weights.
You picked it up. You used it. You need to rack 'em.

I workout in my basement. So my pet peeves are when I'm an a$$hat and too lazy to put weights and things back where they belong. I'm such a lazy d1ck sometimes and later on it frustrates me.

That's a good one too. I hate having to walk up and down the gym trying to find that one (or two) dumbbells cos someone has left it in a corner somewhere 😒

I didn't know I hated this until it happened. I was running on the treadmill and this guy comes out of nowhere to ask me " Are you gonna get off the treadmill soon?"...I told him " yea soonish".. He came back after 3 mins to see if I was getting off now.... Chill out man! Go do something else!

People who mess with the music I'm playing mid workout or stop the clock I'm using

It's a bit different to work out at a crossfit box 😂

If I were him I'd just use my eyes to tell when you were done.

I don't like gym facilities, mainly because I have too many qualms and issues with how people don't do things my way. You know, the RIGHT way lol

One of the biggest ones is failing to rerack DBs and the fixed weight BBs in proper weight order. And help us all if you take ONE DB and then rerack just anywhere. What are you doing? No...but really, what are you doing?

Over hyped up guy, who then becomes over loud guy, and then turns into over proud / look at me guy. I laugh because Metroflex gym is right up the street for them.

The hyper lifter. Lift as fast as you can staring in the mirror then slam the weights down. Puff and prance to the fountain and repeat.

WOW that is crazy! Were you using the one and only treadmill in the gym or something? When people act impatient and too entitled I just use whatever it is a little longer 😂
