Things people do at the gym that you hate

I don't mind so much when people look at you, but it's the people who STARE and make it pretty obvious they're doing it too. It doesn't half put me off what I'm doing!0

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...
Yes, but at least at that point it's clean. God only knows if they're willing to get in without washing then how long exactly has it been since they washed last? I guess it's a cultural thing. In Japan for instance you would literally be ostracised if you did this in a public bath.0 -
Re-rack your weights people! I'm small and some of those plate loaded leg machines have the weights at head height for me! That's gonna spell trouble if I have to try and remove your 45lb plates!
Only other thing is, people putting the DB's back in the rack in random places, or with the numbers facing in so it takes ages to find the ones I want. But that's small compared to not re-racking them at all.0 -
Dear Gym People - RE-RACK YOUR FREAKING WEIGHTS!!!!
OMG!! YES!!!
Also when I see someone lifting too much and with bad form!
AND, when someone is on a machine and not using it when it is busy!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...
YES0 -
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.
Yep! This too!! Wow, I think ppl at the gym in general bug me. LOL!!!0 -
The gym that I go to : People (NOT) using the equipment that I want to use.
We have a lot of teenage guys at my gym and all most of them do is sit on the weights machines && talk to their mates or text. One day I saw a guy sitting on the (one) bench press bench that we have (it's a fairly new gym) and he was still there by the time I left (90 minutes!) and he had NOT even touched the bar at all!
The gym that I work at : People not using towels
People that don't put the weights in there original spots after using them.
And people that use deoderent in the middle of the gym... (spray) we have change rooms for a reason people...
But hey that's okay because I can talk to them about doing it :laugh:0 -
Women w/o any kind of bra. ?????????????????????0
-
space invasion....
in classes they are too close for comfort
in the locker room, naked and very close to me
taking equipment right next to me when there is plenty of empty machines
FFS get out of my space!0 -
The girls that come in wearing converse and their makeup perfectly done and their hair perfectly curled trying to run on the treadmill only to pull their pants up every 2 minutes because they wore baggy pants rolled up to show their bellies!
The people drinking soda at the gym! Really people?!?!
Not wiping down the cardio equipment0 -
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!!!!!
OK, I workout at home now BUT this brought back memories, over 300 lockers in 4 different sections BUT you got to choose the one under/above/next to me SERIOUSLY!!
& Someone else mentioned the naked walkers, hey in the shower maybe, after all its the shower & I am happy that you are happy with your body, I AM NOT! put a towel around it, occasionally I would take my daughter swimming at the gym & it would be a mine field, as some guys just want everybody to see there junk!! Get a life it ain't all that
As for the hot tub/shower debacle, he's having a wash in the hot tub!!

If you're using the locker next to my regular one you're just tough out of luck.
:laugh:
What annoys me is people who don't put back their weights.
And if you're not done, don't walk away from the squat rack and talk to your mates for 5 minutes. I will think you're done and start to use it.0 -
Files their feet? EW!! haha0
-
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)
when lifting very heavy weights sometimes it is necessary to make a grunting noise to get through that last rep... i don't see why people care so much0 -
People using multiple piece of equipment at once, and moving between them. Sorry, I'm not going to wait 15 minutes to squat just because you read somewhere that circuit training is the only way to get fit. There are actually multiple people at my gym who do this! I have to stop them every time.0
-
I don't hate them.. maybe irritated, sometimes humoured.. but the gym cry babies can be a real nuisance. I wonder how some people make it through life when the smallest thing upsets them so.0

I've just started lifting and although I do it to failure I barely break a sweat. Doesn't mean I'm not working my bottom off.0 -

Agreed. I've started to do it the higher weights I get to. It's not something I can control it's just I'm working really hard.0 -
when people sit on the equipment changing the songs on their ipod....and 10 minutes later theyre still doing it!0
-
Something that really annoys me is when I go do situps and someone is using the punching bag. They are right near each other and it's really loud. I just try to suck it up because there's nothing I can do about it, but it's still annoying.0
-
people having a whole conversation so early in the morning with a group next to the machine that you're using0

This! I love the buffer zone. For me it's the same with cardio machines
, especially if you want to have a conversation on your cell phone! 0 -

This! O god this. Girls who come in with a face full of make up, they will sit in the bikes (all 3 of them) and have a 30 mins chat. Then proceed to use the bike for 10 mins. Declare that they have worked so hard today and that they need a rest in the sauna.....
They go in the sauna and chuck all the water on the rocks and continue to do so untill its "100 oc" or so they think.
The gym instructor who asks me if i want an induction/ help/ equipment explained/ a bottle of water/ a tour of the facilities/ anything he can think of, every freakin' day! I joined a year ago...0 -
People who don't rerack their weights or wipe down their machines/benches. It always seems to be some musclebound moron who thinks he is too good to clean up after himself.0
-
When someone gets on the cardio machine right next to me, when there are plenty of empty ones. Give me some space, unless you want to here me sing along to my ipod, loudly.0
-
OMG, people quit sweating the small stuff. the only thing I hate is the old guys walking around the lacker room with their long old balls swinging around. YUK!! HAHA0
-
this is why I don't go to the gym.0
-
It annoys me when im walking from one machine to another, ive got my headphones in, and some random person will bloody stop me and chat for ages about working out!
this makes me soo mad! Im there to get sweaty and get a bloody good workout, not to stand around and chat! 0 -
My latest pet peave is people coming in to do cardio and drinkinf coffee at the same time! How are you working hard while filling your tunny with hot coffee.
BTW I also saw a girl doing 10 bicep curls then sipping her coffee after every 10.
petty I know but it irritates me!0 -
Big guys who leave huge weights on the olympic bars.
People that moan about someone being on a piece of cardio equipment for a long time... if you snooze you lose, I got here first and want to get a decent workout in...some days I snooze and loose, today you have to too!
People who go do loads of mat work after loads of cardio with a sweaty back and don't wipe down the mat!
People who don't wipe down equipment properly, especially after they've been sweating heavily.
That when I ladder my tights there's not a vending machine for a spare pair... and the benches aren't that smooth (old military gym!) so they often do snag - making me have to depart the building looking like a tramp of an officer!
People who use like 20 plastic cups instead of retaining the one they had for their session and so they run out quickly and it's extremely wasteful.
Senior officers that pass on snarky comments back to your instructors about how much time you spend in the gym...0
