For me the peanuts that take the one spray bottle walk to the machine and spray and proceed to wipe HELLO!!! spray the paper towel leave the bottle for everyone else and piss off!
The people don't that believe in a buffer zone in the locker room or shower!
If there are 10 lockers in a row free DONT USE THE ONE NEXT TO ME BUFFER ZONE!!!!!
If there are 5 showers in a row free DONT USE THE ONE NEXT TO ME BUFFER ZONE!!!!!
just a couple of things that tick me off

People using the equipment that I want to use. Selfish I know, but then that is about all that annoys me at the gym.0

I hate it when people ask me: "Are you done???" when I'm getting my 30-60 second rest between sets.
NO.... I'm NOT done. Thank you very much.0 -
lol I can be grumpy too.
I agree with Juliene. I would rather someone just ask me how many sets I have left instead of if Im done. If I was done, I wouldnt be using the thing, now would I?0 -
I hate (HATE) when people are talking on their cell phones while on the treadmill or elliptical right next to me. If it's that important go out into the lobby or locker room or something. Jesus.0

People who hog the elliptical trainers and don't wipe the equipment down after they've used it, ick!0

Dear Gym People - RE-RACK YOUR FREAKING WEIGHTS!!!!0

thats pretty good, guess he didnt have the arm strength to put em away. He should have put em away with his strong legs! haha0 -
The guy that files his feet in the steam room. People that leave disposable razors in the showers.
People that open the sauna door because its too hot !0 -

I agree. These are rather annoying, disgusting, and disturbing lol0 -
what ticks me off
the people that dont use deoderant prior to there workout.....
the people that make LOUD grunting noises
the men who spend more time looking and themselves in the mirror than workin out (hah.. good for a laugh though)0 -
I had someone jump on the machine I was using after I left it for just a sec to go and get some additional weights, umm hello my towel and drink bottle were there!
People who don't wipe down afterwards, people who don't put their weights back, people that make it blatantly obvious that they want you off so they can get on and people that leave their gym bags on the bench in the change room.... don't notice it so much now as I figured out the busy times and work around that.0 -
People that try to get in the Hot Tub with me right after a hot and heavy work out. I've had 2 fist fights with some fat sweaty guy that didn't believe me when I told him that there was no way in hell he was getting in there with me unless he had a shower first :explode:0
-
I can usually ignore most things but really strong, overpowering perfume or aftershave or deodorants put me right off my stride at the gym. There's just no need!0
-
Hm..I think there have been posts about this exact thing before but here's some more of my own!
When people walk around butt naked in the locker rooms. Yes, they have to get naked to change from gym clothes to normal or into a bathing suit but no need to walk from the locker area to the bathroom naked and then to the sink to put on their makeup naked and blow dry their hair naked and then SIT ON THE LEATHER COUCH naked....seriously, you're not at home.
People who are so busy reading a book or playing on their phones or bring a full-sized ipad with a new movie playing on it to the gym and then forget that they're supposed to MOVE on the treadmill, not just stand on it.
The huge lady that plays Sudoku while sitting on the weight machines. Some of those, we only have one, and she just sits there playing Sudoku.
And my number one all time hatred are the idiot people who joke around and roughhouse at the gym around equipment and slam into them, knocking people off balance or jolting the machines. I've seen them even shove people completely off treadmills while they're running;they could seriously cause somebody to break an ankle and if you say anything to them, they just laugh and move to another spot to do it more. You say something to the staff and they just glance at them and nod their heads!! :explode:0 -
The people who save 4 spin bikes for themselves and their "friends" Seriously? If you want a particular bike... GET YOUR *kitten* THERE ON TIME!
:grumble:0 -
In group class, especially Zumba, when I am standing where I want to stand, and someone comes and stands 6 inches from me!!! Kills me...
I have to say though, talking on the cell doesnt bother me. I mean, it is like talking to someone on the treadmill next to you. Who cares0 -
You really think there is a difference between him sweating out of the tub and getting in, and him sweating in the tub? Because you realize, it is so hot, that is what he is going to do once hes in there! lol...0
-
Hates those that don't look like they worked out - I am sweaty and red-faced after. Definitely can't exercise with a full face of makeup.0
-
I hate the beefy guys who grunt so loudly I can hear them over my ipod! And the people walking around naked in the locker room. My gym has little changing rooms (like 3 to be exact) which are located in the locker room so that no one should ever see you naked! I have yet to see all the changing rooms occupied all at once by the way0
-
Cell phones while working out....can't you take a break for the hour or so you work out? Is it really that important??
Strong scents - I'm allergic to floral perfumes, so work out too close to me and I start sneezing, get watery eyes and a major headache (this annoys me everywhere...not just the gym)
In the 30 min room (cross training) using machines in no particular order and getting in my way while I try to make the rounds0 -
I hate it when people ask me: "Are you done???" when I'm getting my 30-60 second rest between sets.
NO.... I'm NOT done. Thank you very much.
I do that.. Mainly because you never know when people are just resting or siting there farting around on their cell phones and hogging the machine... **** or get off the pot man... It's not your own personal gym.
To OP:
Little kids that run around the weight area.. Yesterday there was this 10 yr old running around the free weight area dribbling a basketball like an obnoxious moron.. and the parents were no where to be found. Awesome.
Also, people that just sit on the machines and play around..There was this older gentleman on a machine that I wanted(it was a calf machine) and he was just randomly pushing the petals down and around, and when I asked him how much longer, he goes oh I'm not really working out, I'm just playing.. OK great, so that means you get out of my way and go play somewhere else because I have actual work to do.0 -
^^^this too....I was in a yoga class, and a girl decided to put her mat 6 inches directly in front of mine...I had to avoid her kicking me or sticking her butt in my face the whole class...and there was nowhere for me to move without doing the same thing to someone elseIn group class, especially Zumba, when I am standing where I want to stand, and someone comes and stands 6 inches from me!!! Kills me...0
