    I hate when guys drop the olympic weights on the floor when there's a peg or weight stand not even 2 feet away. Don't be lazy, you just grabbed it from there 3 minutes ago. Also, rerack the damn weights!! You have the time and patience to load 12 plates on that leg press, but you can't strip it off afterwards?? Douche bags...

    No drinking anything from Starbucks while you are on the treadmill. Seriously, just looking at that cup of coffee makes me want to throw up.
    Who wants a hot drink while they are working out!! Blech!

    For men (and women too, although I've never seen any): khaki cargo pants and skater shoes are NOT for running on the treadmill!

    ALWAYS clean the machinery you just used; I don't care if your dripping sweat or if you just started lifting, I don't want to sit in it. It's called hygiene people.

    Push ups, jumping jacks, Ben gay, rollers in your hair, singing at the top of your lungs listening to your ipod in the sauna
    Going into a group class and doin your own routine, some instructors won't say anything but I will.
    Not wearing deoderant
    Wearing shoes in the sauna
    Correcting people on form when your form sucks lol

    Lol what's annoying about pushups and jumping jacks? I'm with you on the rest.

    Now you have opened the door;
    Ladies no offense but if you are going to wear those tight low cut outfits and stretch on the treadmill ahead of a guy, you should not be offended when we look, take it as a compliment that your hard work is being admired. On the other side guys you do not need to burn a hole through them as you admire the feminine shape.
    Eat before or after your fitness routine, I see no excuse for eating a subway sandwich on the treadmill or elliptical.
    I commend you for wanting to workout however wear the proper attire, jeans and work boots is not it.

    If I'm on the treadmill running please don't come up to me and start talking to me. It's too much work to take the headphones out and slow down the machine. I'm trying to be rude I'm just trying to do what I came here to do!

    I've been wondering about number 2 for years now...I don't get it. Do they really drink that much water in the hour they are at the gym?

    love it!!! My gym is also used for rehab... I get so ticked when the therapist doesn't wipe the machine down after they put someone on it.. I look like the biggest loser cleaning them before and after. Don't even get me started on the women who like to hang out in the locker room naked.. lol

    3. Do Not… I mean DO NOT bring a mask and snorkel to the gym to be used in a lap pool. I have a feeling that if you’re one that does, you probably have to register for more things than just your car. Just saying…..

    There's a guy at my gym that wears a snorkel and mask on the stationary bicycles. There is no pool/hot tub/sauna at my gym. WTF?!

    This totally made me LOL...Maybe he needs it incase of an unexpected flood!? haha

    Here are my contributions:

    If you're going to wear shorts that can potentially rip, please wear underwear. I don't want to see your 75-year-old man parts hanging in my face while I'm trying to get my set in.

    If you're going to grunt like you're trying to push one out, maybe you should get to the bathroom just to make sure. Just sayin. . .

    Can I add that the squat rack is also not intended as a convenient place to lean against and rest your drink on in the 10 minute rest you take between sets when you're using another piece of equipment anyway.
