:laugh:the folks that set the speed and incline on the treadmill so fast and high that they have to hang on to the front of the machine. It irks the living **** out of me if you feel the need to hang on for dear life you're goin to fast or cant do the incline. STOP THAT MADNESS please0 -
Fill in the blank!
(For me it's dudes who slam the weights down in the weight room)
oh ya! I find that so rude.
I have had them put a ban on eating food at the gym. Im allergic to bananas and I kept seeing the same guy walking on the treadmill eating a banana! WTH? I now have to worry about what this guy touched so I don't touch it? Im not deathly allergic, but I sure don't like looking like I was beat by a cheese grater.
I once saw someone eating on a treadmill and it made me laugh out loud - what was his point?? Seriously, the only time you have to grab a meal is DURING your workout? I mean, when training for a marathon I have sucked an energy gel on long runs but when I hop to the gym for an hour on the tread I don't bring a pot roast!
As a diabetic, I actually had to stop my workout to eat (once) because my blood sugar was dropping. But, I did go outside because I thought the sound of me crunching an apple would annoy folks.
Well now I feel like a jerk...sorry!...a medical reason never occurred to me. Hope I didn't offend you I was trying to be funny but it seems I might have been insensitive.
Totally NOT offended. I did want to point out that there *could be* a valid reason for it. But, that it didn't excuse doing it on the machine!!!0 -
Free pizza night every first Monday of the month. It's so hard to resist.
Yes!! I HATE that they only ever order pizza. Why? What is the purpose? If you want to show your customers you appreciate them, then give out t-shirts or water bottles. Anyone can use those things. Planet Fitness does this. The staff doesn't even like doing it, but the company makes them do it.0 -
I wish my gym had a ban on................... women dousing themselves in body spray, hair spray, scented lotion, perfume, etc. Totally choked out last night getting back to my locker, walking through a veritable cloud of perfumigation.
Lol! Not me, you'll see me w/little to no makeup and smelling like I worked out. :happy:0 -
the groups of 21 year olds that use the express circuit machines as their after school hang out. Not working out, just laying on the machines posing.
BURN A CALORIE YOU LAZY MINORS!0 -
I definitely don't like the creepers at the gym that stare at me (and it's pretty darn obvious). It was the reason I was hesitant to start a weight lifting program, because the weights side of my gym is almost always exclusively male except for girls with their personal trainers. I'm on week 2 of the New Rules of Lifting. Yes, I can deadlift 60 lbs already, yes I'm wearing a tank top, and no, that doesn't invite you to stare at my boobs the entire time I'm working out. I belong in the weight's section too...
I do workout with my makeup on though, I go to the gym straight from work and I don't ever both to wipe it off. It's usually a mess by time I'm done anyway, so it doesn't really matter to me. I've never put makeup on prior to going to the gym if it's the first thing I'm doing in the day or something.
^^ This! I too was hesitant to go to the weights area because its usually all guys and I felt dumb because I'm new at lifting. I can deadlift about 95 lbs right now and that's at 4x8. I still feel like they look at me like I don't belong there. And I too wear makeup M-F if I go because I was at work.0 -
I wish my gym had a ban on: people on the machine next to you looking at your progress and what you're doing. ARGGHHHH!! It's my machine and my workout!!
I usually put a towel on the display or keep a magazine open. I don't like even seeing my own progress constantly; if I'm watching the timer or the calorie count, it seems to take twice as long, lol.
But yes, that's annoying.
Me too...if it is not covered, my eyeballs have a mind of their own and constantly check out the time, which of course is usually only 45 seconds further than the last time I looked lol.
You can make it 45 seconds? I sure can't! Haha.
It takes a lot of self control to get to that 45 second mark lol - and yet I would SWEAR it had been at least 5 minutes, maybe more!!0 -
People who see a row of Arc trainers open yet; unilaterally makes the decision to use the one right beside me... GRRRRRRR0
-
ban girls that put no effort into their workouts but still look better than me!!!....rrrrrr0

Yeah I was wondering about that myself... I guess it is a part of the judgement free zone.0
-
Yeah, but nude guy go in front of your own locker and not hog 4 spaces in front of mine... And now your judging peoples comments..Haha. Relax, workout, and have fun.. Good luck with your goals!I wish these threads didn't always turn into a free-for-all body-hating, workout-judging spree. That old guy who you don't want to see naked? Yeah, he prob doesn't want to see you naked, either. The girl wearing makeup at the gym? I sincerely doubt you're getting less of a workout just because she's in the room. Who cares.0 -
I drop my weights when I deadlift. It's a waste of strength to set them down nicely.
I wish mine banned....
Mullets.
Haha - this!
And I also hate the grunting/moaning that sounds like you're getting pleasured. You know who you are... and everyone else knows what I mean.
Sorry about that, it hurts so good.

I can't stand the girls that walk around in their cute little outfits that walk for 30 min and then go eat burger king and don't gain a pound. I hate genetics!0 -

I'd rather judge someone's comment than their body... but either way, it totally doesn't affect my workout at all if someone near me has a bad attitude, doesn't like my workout routine, or wishes I'd dressed differently.

genetics has very little to do with weight and weight loss and gain. It mostly comes down to lifestyle (how active you are and how much you eat) this is of course if you don't have any hormonal issues such as hypothyroidism among others.
In general weight comes down to 80% diet, 10% activity, 10% genetics0 -
Screaming during any of the workout classes. Hell, screaming in general.0

I agree with kids not being in the gym part, but sometimes you have to drag your son into the women's locker room if the family one is full! Especially if he has to pee. I am not sending him in the men's locker room by himself!
Then you wouldn't mind if i walked in front of/ stood in front of your son buck *kitten* naked in the change room?:laugh:
LOL My Hero!0 -
Wow, some of you should listen to yourselves talk. Take a step back and look at it. This has turned into some snarky mean thread. If some of you really feel this way then I suggest you never leave your house again.0

Children.... which to me is ANYONE under 18.... (well, I could make an exception here and there, but it would be a case by case basis).
AND.... Mother's who have no freakin' sense and bring their 8 yr. old SON into the WOMEN'S locker room! There are FAMILY locker rooms just for this situation.
You must not have kids...

I can appreciate that a need is a need, but I've felt pretty violated before by unexpected male children in the adult locker room. If there's a family locker room that's child-friendly and an adult one that isn't, I choose the adult one, because I don't want to feel like a creep for being naked like I should be allowed to in a locker room. I really don't want to get naked in front of someone's 8 year old boy.
I know it's not as simple as just leaving your kids at home or whatever, but it makes me really uncomfortable to be confronted with other people's kids, particularly boys, when I'm naked.
YES! Someone understands where I am coming from.... And for the record, I would NOT take my 8 yr. old son into the women "adult" locker room with me.... 3 yr. old? only in an emergency..0 -

Right. There is a daycare at the gyms for a reason.
Yet I agree on the 8 year old in the locker room. "/
Then they should be in the day care portion, not clinging to your legs in the workout room.0 -

As a group fitness instructor it bugs me when there's no interaction during classes. The energy level in the room just sky rockets with a little noise from the peanut gallery, hoots, howls, whistles, gasps, grunts, woots, and singing . . . I love it. I have a policy that if no one is interacting with me they have to listen to me sing . . . my singing will make your ears bleed. I'm of the mind set that there are thousands of ways to be fit and active and burn a few calories, so why not have fun doing it?0 -
Well, I don't belong to a gym anymore - I use the YMCA - but mine was the music that they blared through the house system. No matter the genre, it was always too loud.
YMCA IS a gym :happy:0 -
i hate it when skinny girls use equipment with blank looks on their face, it is like they aren't even trying to get a burn. or when big people use the treadmill and power walk with no incline, it is like honestly, put the incline up a little bit and you will burn so many more calories. ooh and highschool girls that have no clue what they are doing and just walk around flaunting their stuff.
Seeing super tiny girls does irk me a little, but that's mostly from jealousy
. I understand they're trying to maintain that body type and it makes me work harder so I can get to a point where all I have to do is maintain.
As for walking with no incline: I walk flat because I don't want to develop big bulky calf muscles. My calves are already too big to get into most tall boots (love me some boots). Yeah, I might have to walk longer to burn more calories, but it's just a personal preference.0 -
