    Arschlochs who slam their weights onto the floor making me jump constantly; others who make all sorts of groaning, huffing, puffing, grunting, hissing noises and have a constant grimace on their faces cause they're lifting too much weight - so not a good look; sweataramas who drip snail trails over all the machines and don't have the courtesy to wipe off their bodily fluids once they leave the machines; narcissistic dolts who spend all their time preening in front of the mirrors and parading around with their big egos on tiny legs as if to emphasise just how hot they are - not; skinny *kitten* who's thighs don't meet sitting on the treadmills for an hour... The list could go on and on, which is why I no longer have a gym membership!

    P.S. I forgot to add the wankers that spend their time leching and snickering suggestively - wouldn't touch you with a 10foot bargepole!

    I don't have a problem with the people or what they do.
    I'd like to ban the gym playing the same songs over and over. First it was "Soul Sister" but now they constantly play some song that endlessly repeats, "I like my beat fast and my bass down low". These repetitive songs really grate on my last good nerve. I'd love it they banned repeating any song within an hour. Surely with millions of songs out there they can find some variety.

    Loud grunters or groaners and yes, slam down weights and abuse the equipment.
    I really have about six things (equipment hogs being another) but those are the top ones.

    I wish my gym had a ban on...... ill-fitting, nonsupportive, old, stretched out, cheap support bras. GIRLS you need to protect "THE GIRLS"!

    Playing the Food Network! I'm tryna get my sweat on and all I see is Paula Deen making dessert! More motivation, I guess.

    I also wish my gym had some air freshener available. I always want to go back to the weight room but after my sister's boyfriend and his friend get done, it smells so awful I can hardly breathe.

    If your not groaning, moaning, crying, shouting or bleeding - your not lifting heavy enough... I go to the gym to work out, if your not pushing your boundaries to expand them then your cutting yourself short.

    I wish my gym would ban Adele from the god dam radio... uggghhh

    I have a gym that I go to about 20 times a year in Florida, and I can honestly say that
    I don't hate anything about it at all. It's clean, there are bottles of spray all over for people
    to wipe down their machines, which they do so well there, and the people are always so
    friendly and helpful. I just WISH I HAD A GYM NEAR ME!!!

    Guys in (just) spandex shorts. Seriously. I don't think they're right on half the girls who wear them either.

    the only thing i care about is cologne/perfume because it does affect me. its always the older women who wear the most pungent perfume.

    AGREED, if your not there to push your limits beyond what you think what you can do, well then frankly your doing it wrong.

    Twerps doing curls in the squat rack. Today's twerp even got pissy when I asked him if he was done with his sets. OK, maybe I shouldn't have stood there watching him do his reps, but seriously. GTFO the rack for your curls!

    OF course, given that my gym is Planet Fitness, I should probably be glad there's a squat rack at all.

    For the most part, I couldn't care less what everyone else is doing, but I do peek at their machines to see their speed, level, burn, etc. Just curiosity, no judgement.

    I also wish my gym would enforce proper attire. People come in all the time with sandals and open toed shoes on, trying to use the weights or machines. I'm afraid they'll hurt themselves.
