    I carry my cell phone around to use my jefit app, and I play on MFP with it on the cardio machines. I wear tight pants on occasion. I wear gloves. I grunt.

    I eat bacon cheeseburgers and drink milk shakes in front of people running on treadmills

    I do more than 30 minutes of Cardio at a time. And yes, I get mad when I see other people doing it!
    I never knew this was a problem? I always do an hour minimum when I'm at the gym.

    Its a common rule at gyms. But not relevant unless people are waiting. I rarely go when all the machines are taken.

    HAHAH I totally do this too! I even glare at them when they are on there longer but it is ok that I am on there for 40 minutes!

    I sit on the equipment between sets using my cell phone to text and check out what's up on MFP. I head bang and play air guitar if you don't like metal GTFO.

    I take up enough space for 4 people in the locker room.

    I "blank stare" when working out, so it looks like I'm staring at you but I'm not. I've been told it freaks people out.

    I make eye contact and conversation with the naked lady in the hot tub, and I don't care if she thinks I'm gay. Seriously, if that bothers you, why are you in the hot tub naked?

    Headbanging and doing 45-60 minutes of cardio. It's not normally an issue except for January when there are a ton of people in the gym.

    I text and send emails while I'm on the elliptical. I've never actually picked up the phone to talk, though.
    Also, if someone's using the machine I want, I'm that obnoxious person who'll do a driveby to see how much time they have left.

    I love that other people lip sync while at the gym. I tend to listen to a lot of showtunes and sometimes lip sync with them. :-) Oh well, as long as I'm not singing out loud ......

    I sit on the equipment in between exercises. There are signs everywhere prohibiting it. But if someone wants to step in, I will welcome them to the machine. But I just don't like standing there like a fool when I can just sit on the seat until my next set. But in my defense, I don't go to the gym when its real crowded generally.

    I think I would be guilty of this myself! I am not going to get off the machine and clean it each time in between sets. To me that seems a bit silly. I move on as soon as I am done. I think I also have a tendency to sing when listening to my IPod too. I can't hear me! I am sure I don't sound good though!

    lol- love some of the answers.


    If all the treadmills are taken, I stalk people until they jump off, then I sprint over to take it before they even wipe it down! :) I am also guilty of sweating all over the gym equipment as well!

    I fart a lot when running on the treadmill. Must be the protein powder.
