    for all you guys who complain about chicks using treadmills at like 2 mph here is my story... i too didnt get those people some time ago and thought what the hell is the point if u dont even sweat... anyway.. long story short... i had 2 knee surgeries few years ago and diagnosed with rare form of arthritis (when i was 24 btw) so to recover from my surgeries i could only do super low intensity for a long while... i started using treadmills cause i could adjust the incline and speed which is easier for me than to try doing it outside... so there... i was using treadmill at 2mph with a slight incline... not a great workout by enough to start healing my knee after surgery and not lose my leg muscles completely... and im sure many people have different reasons for doing this stuff so have some perspective people

    In order or annoyance:

    1.) People who don't wipe down their machine after use, ESPECIALLY if they've visibly dripped sweat all over it. How disgusting are you?! Seriously.

    2.) The fully done up, size nothing girls who move so slowly on the elliptical that they actually have to work twice as hard to get it to move. Not hating on the fit girls (obviously they're doing something right), but when you're at the gym in a full face of makeup and perfect hair you're not there to work out--you're there to be seen. Stop taking up valuable space.

    3.) Guys who drench themselves in cologne.

    4.) Overly dramatic people on the treadmill (although it's more comical than it is annoying). No joke, I had a lady next to me this weekend who was clapping with every step she took. I mean, wtf? Why are you clapping?
