Are you a GYM IDIOT?

stephensmith0929

What makes these guys gym idiots is that these nit wits wear flip flops on their feet so they dont get a "foot fungus" yet they rest thier junk of the counter top of the sink! NASTY!!!

Dolts who don't rack their weights or sweat all over the machine, then walk away without wiping down their mess.

You won't catch me dead without my makeup on! I have always worn makeup, always will, the gym is no exception! That doesn't make me an idiot though, maybe obsessive compulsive. : )

I love that at a local gym in my hometown there's a big red button you can press if comeone is grunting, dropping weights, etc. I never saw one person ring it; I'm guessing it did the job just being there. lol

I read the kindle on the elliptical, I am going for longer conditioning (when I can see there are plenty of machines open) I raise the font and it makes an hour go by much faster. I am not supposed to have a super elevated heart rate, so I can't do a faster pace, but still need to get my burn in.

A co-worker and I used to go to the gym at lunch. She would spend 45 minutes on the bike with sweat dripping down her neck and back but never, and I mean never, did her makeup smudge or move one bit. Don't know what brand she wore but she probably could have done a commercial for it.

Guess you could shower without ruining your makeup? I'm not sure though, wouldn't try it myself

If I have makeup at the gym, it's just because I didn't take the time to remove it after work and before getting to the gym. But otherwise, putting makeup on before the gym seems like a waste of time. I can understand a 'bit' of makeup. But lipstick and all? It seems weird. You're going to sweat, right?

We have that too, but unfortunately, it's not enforced.

Gym Idiot..... Is when a person is working out in the free weight area or smith machine area and they have no towel and your waiting for the machine and they get off after there finish with it and walk away with out cleaning it ....Grrrrr

revjames

large women hogging tradmills walking at 2mph with their hands firmly clasped on the handlebars instead of walking to the gym or shops in the first place.......

chachita7

I am the idiot that hinders her workout because of watching the idiots doing the idiotic things, LOL

I still submit mine, which is those people that crank the treadmill to 11 and then hang on for dear life while it drags them.

What is the point? Do they really think they're getting a good workout by clutching onto the top of the treadmill while it forces their legs to move forward?

My pet peeve is when people have pet peeves that don't even remotely affect their own lives. Oh wait...GUILTY! Lol

This. And the ones lifting WAYY to much weight.
And I agree with the ones on the cell phone. Same goes for texting...if you can text and be on the elliptical and/or treadmill at the same time...you aren't working hard enough.

Yes this is the same for me. I'm generally at the gym after work, so I'm always in make up. So happy to see that makes me a gym idiot. :sad:

Quite honestly, if you think I'm a gym idiot for wearing make up wait until I get into the free weights section. I'm about to start lifting (NROL4W) and I'm sure I'm really going to make an idiot of myself.
:laugh:

The gym I go to has several different locations, the usual location is better about the location of the sanitizer and towels for wiping down the equipment after use, but sometimes I run to the other location and their racks are harder to get to and usually out of towels, the other people there working out are less courteous and a hell of a lot more grunters and screamers and weight droppers. I also think that its useless seeing people with the treadmills too fast bear hugging the control panel, I mean slow it down add a minute or 2. Theres one guy I always see come to the gym once or twice a week gets a muscle milk does a couple of machines then leaves. One last thing, people that stretch out in the middle of the floor for 20 minutes that you have to walk around and hope they aren't gonna do a summer-salt and trip you, I mean theres a room there just for stretching and don't stare at me on the ab machine while your asscheeks are firmly pressed against the back of your head creepy dude!

Ben2118

yes.

I'm accepting of all people at my gym. Working out in public makes you vulnerable. I respect anybody who's courageous enough to step foot in one of those places.

Ohhh I HATE the girls who come to the gym looking like they are at a damn night club, Hair all curled and makeup on, tiny little tanktop with no sportsbra. I go to the gym to work my *kitten* off and expect to look like crap doing so

LOL...that was hilarious! Very true! I just shake my head and mind my own business but I often wonder do they "freshen up" the make up just to come to the gym?

yeah like i understand if you JUST came from work but their makeup wouldnt be perfect, i mean youre not gonna pick up a guy at the GYM, -.- people.......

So you are doing a routine where you use the same weights so you have them laid out for your circuit. Then someone just walks up and takes one of the dumbbells you are you are using in your set without asking if you are using it or if they can use it until you need it. Then uses it but does not bring it back when they are done, but instead offers it to someone else.
