    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. : )

    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.

    Brought your handbag into the weights room.
    Full face of makeup.
    1 set, update your facebook status on your iphone, next machine.

    LiKe OmG r u stalking me?

    I go to gym before work, so I always have a full face of makeup...don't have time to do it afterwards....;)
    :huh: you go from the gym straight to work sans shower?

    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?

    Anyone who talks on the phone while doing "cardio." Hint: if you can talk, you're not doing it hard enough.

    we have a no cell phone policy on the fitness floor and it works wonders

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

    this thread was on a roll and then suddenly died....

    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!

    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.
