So at the gym i go to there is a circuit training room and the idea of the room is to start at one machine and do everything until you get to the last one. The machines are numbered 1-20 and one day i was the only person in the room and i was on machine 5 when a mother and her daughter came in and started doing it also, now this did not bother me...until they started going backwards and doing all the machines out of order making it so i had to skip some and go to the next. The nice person that i am did not say anything but i was really frustrated with it......
Ok so that was my rant for the day..what is your biggest pet peeve at the gym?

    People who set their big gym bags on the treadmill beside them. It's so rude.

    People who don't put their weights back when they're done with them! You're motivated enough to work out, but too lazy to put your things away? Sheesh!!!

    The ladies with perfect hair/makeup/designer workout clothing who stand and talk and never break into a sweat while I look like I've been dragged through a bush backwards.

    I love the aerobics classes at my gym - and the instructors are absolutely magnetic ... but the room where they hold classes has one wall that's a window and looks out to the circuit training room. When you're in a class, your back is to this window. You forget that it's there. Until you turn around to see at least six old men sitting on the machines just staring.
    It's really bad when they're talking to their buddies, and they point at people in the class. It's like they forget that we can see them. It's a window, not a television screen!

    We have a couple of jerks who refuse to put their used towels in the basket, they just drop them on the floor and leave. We always know to go in the locker room when they depart the building. Then we have guys who stash the towel in their bag and leave, weeks later they often come in with a stack of club towels.

    Hopefully they've washed them. I can only imagine what that must smell like!

    Unfortunately, due to the health code, even if they washed them at home, we have to rewash them.

    When people get off the machine and don't sanitize them with the product that's sitting right there next to the machine... So annoying..

    Haha! I agree the women walking on the treadmill is strange (just walk outside) but more so the makeup and hair.

    Here they are:
    1. People who sit on weight machines and text the entire time without ever using the machine
    2. Bad body order - out of all of the cardio machines that are available, the smelly guy always uses the machine next to me
    3. People who do not put the weights back where they belong
    4. Peple who dot not throw their towles back in the hamper
    5. People who work out in their dress attire (jeans and shirt) and not in proper gym attire


    I am so Monica Gellar when it comes to the gym.
