    Good grief. My major gripes at my gym are:

    1) People answering their cell phones....in YOGA class! It's yoga! Come on, people!
    2) The meathead who walks around with the tank top on that is basically three strings but technically passes as clothing. Like if he had a shirt on, we wouldn't be able to tell he is 300 lbs of muscle.
    3) The yoga class cell phone thing again. It bothers me so much that I have to say it twice.

    I haven't seen this yet, but at the Y I go to I send my kids to "Club Fyt". They are 7 and 10 and they have a blast playing organized games. I head out to the cardio machines and see ... KIDS. Maybe 10 years old doing the elliptical, the treadmill, weights even. It's really disturbing, especially when their kid center is so well organized.

    I never expected such a response but thank you this made my day! Apparently it was my day to piss people off b/c I was also unfriended in Facebook haha oh well!
    As for the naked people in the locker room seriously put a towel on I don't want to see old wrinkly anything and I don't want see young anything! I go and lift hard and work hard I have a goal in mind and don't care for socializing or bs I want to sweat grunt and look like I just worked at something! I mean really!
    My other let peeve is the you testosterone filled kids that have no clue what they are doing! Or my favorite tonight there was a serious case of I.L.S lmao it was great!!

    I get so annoyed by the (obese) folks who sit there on the ab machines resting forever so nobody else can use them. Hint, hint: CARDIO!!!!!!!!! Notice all the skinny people abbing it out on floor mats?

    My favorite is the people who use the machines as recliners to watch TV!! Also, I had never had a naked lady experience till last week, I was throwing my bag in my locker, as out strolls this amazon lady butt naked from the showers-- seriously get dressed in the shower stalls!! I was sooo embrassed as she said hey how are you!

    I kind of keep in the zone at the gym. I see my co-workers, we smile and wave and carry on.... For me, socializing time is definitely not when I'm at the gym sweating like a pig working towards looking like a fox!

    I hate the gym for some of these reasons, but I also love it because being in that environment motivates me and gets me going. And it's more interesting, unlike working out at home. By myself. Getting distracted every two minutes. Gym time is MY TIME.

    Anyway, you go girl!

    If the advice is coming from someone who really wants to help, and I know that he/she ACTUALLY know what they are doing, I'll listen. Otherwise, F off and let me be.

    Once I was on the elliptical and some dude got on next to me and went all gazelle on that thing. I was going REALLYYYY slow at a high level, and he had the nerve to tap me on my shoulder, motion at me to pull out my headphones, and tell me that if I want a really effective workout I should go faster, because I look like I'm about to fall asleep. Errr, thanks *kitten*, don't know what I would have done without you and your advice.
