    I don't know but you should mention it to the gym employees. Usually you're not ALLOWED to wear strong smelling colognes in places liek that because a lot of others have allergies. perhaps they could put up "please do not..." signs in the changerooms. I hear ya though, strong perfumes give me migraines :angry:

    I'm with you ... I would LOVE for the body odor instead of the perfumes and colognes. They almost always end my workout. I have those sensitivities, so it's migraines, nausea, and all over ickiness for the rest of the day when I work out next to those guys ... to me, they're even worse than smokers. :grumble: :noway: :grumble:

    Ugh! That gets to me too because heavy perfume will trigger migraines for me.

    Another one is I keep getting behind this woman (I'll call her black/seafoam green spandex), and she is on the machine in front of me and always seems to pass gas! :sick:

    That is bad, especially when they honestly dont think its a problem.

    At my gym, the worst offenders are the folks that chomp on gum with their mouths open gross! :sick:
    They dont even notice they are doing it because they have their ipods up so loud...:laugh:

    How about people who sing while working out?? I don't think they realize how loud they are because they are listening to their ipod.

    Kinda funny!!:laugh: but also annoying:grumble:

    One more....

    I think EVERY gym has that ONE person who goes just to socialize.
    There is this one guy. EVER time I see him, he's all decked out in his "workout clothes" but I have NEVER seen him actually workout. I thought maybe he worked there, but NOPE...LOL

    He constantly goes up to people and talk to them (at least for the hour that I am there)
    And YES...He has come up to me. Asked me what I was watching on TV, told me he is a dentist (Yeah, Right)

    I'm with you on the perfume. I HATE it. It really bothers me. I'm a smell freak. I don't like many smells, don't wear perfume myself, dont'tburn candles,etc, so when I'm working out and trying to breath right and all I can smell is some flowery funk I want to die! Plus, it gives me a headache too.

    Ugh, that's the worst. When I went to the gym there were always that same like 4 annoying people and I had names for them too, like breathes loud lady. She breathed like a lady doing lamaze....but not just while working out, while in the lockerroom too!

    I rather smell perfume/cologne rather than nasty body odor- Last night I was at the gym hopped on the elliptical and started my cardio I started smelling something but didn't think nothing of it- then it started getting stronger and stronger- so I started to wonder is it me so I smelled myself and it wasnt me but then I looked to the right of me and the smell got stronger it was the lady next to me and WOW :noway: - I believe the stench was coming from her hair and it got stronger as she sweat more I wanted to puke :sick: - I couldn't get off the elliptical because I was already half way into my workout plus all the other machines were taken it was brutal-- lol..

    Does it count if I only wear eyeliner and mascara? Ok, yes it's a little weird, but people ask me if I'm sick or tired if I don't. Nothing like a boost to the self esteem!
