people not re-racking the weights.
People not wiping down the machines after they have finished with them.1 -
People who don't wipe down their machine when they're done! GROSS0
-
I don't have one
Actually...sweat on the machines...get rid of it!0 -
No curling in the squat rack!0
-
These always end up in a fight
Yes!!!!!!!!0 -
old ladies with their horrible pungent perfume.
other than that pretty much nothing else.0 -
Not racking their weights for sure
hitting on me when i am struggling to lift as is!0 -
Oh, i just thought of another one. Squatters, i dont mean people who do squats (what's not to love about squats
), I mean those that have taken up residence on a piece of equipment. I know, rest between sets, but seriously, 5 mins between a set is taking the piss. 0 -
when all the dumbbells seem to disappear.
Also when someone joins my lane in the pool, specifically when they decide to float across the lane and not swim.
And when people leave the really heavy weights on the barbells.0 -

I have to agree, the perfume is got to go. People are going to sweat and I am ok with that smell, its a gym right? You have to expect it.
My other pet peeve: I don't understand the (mostly older) women who show up at the gym at 6:30 in the morning with a full face of makeup on. These are usually the types that do 2 or 3 reps at one machine and hop over to another machine. I call them "butterflies" because they (try to) look pretty and flit from one thing to the next, never staying in one place very long.0 -

People doing exercises incorrectly on the weight machines. BANG! BANG! BANG! You are suppose to ease those weights down boy-o. It isn't a race to do reps.
You don't know what their training regimen is like. There are various tempos that people use to achieve different goals.0 -

For sure I find that annoying as well0 -

I regularly rest 5 minutes between sets when I'm squatting heavy.
Oh, and I'm on my phone during my rest periods.0 -
I think she is going more for the dropping the weights. Its loud, startling and really bad for the machines. #1 cause of a machine going out of commission0

Yes!!0 -
I never worked with a personal trainer that said banging weights was part of the routine. Tempo I understand but letting the weights fall and hit each other like that means that they are not maintaining control of the rep.0

I accidentally bang the weights when I'm on the Seated Machine row because it just barely doesn't allow me to get full range of motion.0 -

I have to rest at least 5 minutes between sets now that I'm starting to max out on weights. If they don't like it, they can get over it.0 -

If they want to approach me and ask me to set in, then that is fine. But I'm not just going to unrack my weights and step aside after each set on the off-chance that someone might be waiting on me.0 -
Pervy creeps staring at me while I am exercising.0

Those girls who go with their boyfriends all made-up and cute and ****, not to work out, but to sit on the equipment with their feet up texting and watching their boyfriends lift. Get the *kitten* off and let people lift. Go text in your car.0
