    Two ot them.

    1) The guy who weighs himself on the gym scale naked.

    2) The guy who stands at the sink, stark naked, and shaves, while leaning against the counter top. Gross.

    That sweaty person who never wipes down the machines.
    And the girl who wears shorts that look like panties.

    When there is a ROW of EMPTY machines, and you HAVE to get on the one next to me! REALLY? REALLY? That, and people who don't wipe down after their workout! EW. GROSS. that is why I always wipe down before I get on.

    People who don't follow the order in the circuit training room. They are numbered for a reason!!

    Also, the guy who carries his pillow around. I still haven't figured out why. :noway:

    When I'm in the pool and people decide to wander into my lane and just stay there (not swimming or anything, just standing there), or when they start swimming in the same lane in the opposite direction, I mean really, how hard is it to see that we're just going to collide? This happens a LOT too. So frustrating.

    The girl or guy who rubbernecks to see the info on my machine!

    And then tries to match my speed or exceed it!!

    The guys that just walk around naked. Shaving, sitting on the benches, standing in front of the hand drier to dry themselves off. Man they just suck.

    when someone leaves their towel or water bottle or notepad on the lifting bench to keep other people from using it until they come back! It's fine if you are grabbing your water or something, but don't leave your crap on the bench for 5 minutes while you work at a different machine, just because you want it to be available when you are done. RUDE.

    When people come into the gym and expect you to get off the machine when clearly you just got on. Then they hover and hover to see the time on your machine! And the sweat is another nasty one. YOu see it dripping and they don't bother to clean it up.

    Oh whoops sjadams01...I always watch the food network while I work out :)

    My pet peeve is a crowded gym. I love going early weekend nights and no one is there. I don't feel like anyone is awkwardly watching how uncoordinated I am, and I can do weights easily without waiting!

    The guy at the pool who rests for 5 minutes and then races me for a lap, all while I'm just warming up. If you want to race, let me know!

    Guys that don't re-rack their free weights. Especially when their max weight is lower than my starting warm up. Having to re-rack their puny 25lb weights to put on my 45lb ones on is irritating. Especially when I have to add the 25s on the next set.

    I HATE the aftermath of the water aerobics class. Puddles of water EVERYWHERE, including in the bathroom stalls. Come on ladies, DRY YOURSELF OFF! I don't know how many times I've almost slipped and cracked my head open because of all the puddles.

    1. Women that wear too much makeup
    2. Women that curl 2 lb dumbbells ...
    3. Women that talk too freaking much instead of working out.
    4. People that do not re-rack their weights.
    5. People that get their sweat all over a machine and don't wipe it down after.
    6. The guy that stares me down while I'm spinning.

    1. When the men give me this mean glare everytime I go lift weights...... I give them this look back like "Girls rule"....lol
    2. When people hold a conversation right by you when your on the machine... Like it's very uncomfortable that your talking near my butt while I'm on the stair master.... It's so weird...
    3. People who eat in the gym while on the machines

    They always have this channel on at my gym...on the big screen! I am always like "WTF?!" I guess they are ensuring they stay in business.

    Not racking your weights, putting away your plyo boxes, or tires
    Interrupting me in a set
    Interrupting me between sets (if the headphones are on, they are on for a reason)
    Wearing so much perfume or cologne or perfume that I feel like im back in the CS chamber at boot camp
    "Bears" working out without a shirt on
    Not wiping down the bench or bag after you sweat all over it
    Blocking the mirror to pose when im trying to correct my form
    oh..and taking the squat rack to do curls

    But really, im a heck of a nice guy and glad to help!
