    The new years revolutionaries as I like to call them. They are the ones who make a new years resolution to get in shape. You know the ones. Get there at the start of a new year. Hog all the equipment or take up room in a class. You can tell they don't want to be there. Then by March they are all gone. I went to a gym years ago where we couldn't even get into our classes for all of them. And they put forth no effort when they were there.

    1 - women wearing clothes that hide everything
    2 - women that don't smell nice
    3 - women that stay in the cardio section and don't come join me in the weights room
    4 - women that look rough as houses and give painful scornful looks at the lookers in the gym
    5 - women that don't appreciate a good body and read a book whilst working out
    6 - women that don't look like xPrincessx

    List goes on and on...

    So, just women then. :laugh:

    -Gyms trying to push their 900 dollar personal training package on you

    -They guy that thinks because you are a woman you don't know what you are doing

    -The gym running out of paper towels leaving me with nothing to clean the machines with (this happened to me today)

    -All of the good equipment reserved for those with the 900 dollar personal training packages

    -Slow jams playing on the gyms speakers. I used to go to a gym that would do this and I noticed I was going slower and slower o the treadmill. I don't have to like the song, but it needs to be fast

    -People who monopolize the machines

    Earlier someone mentioned women shouldn't wear just sports bras. I used to do it all the time and when I get my body back, I will surely do it again. It motivates me to see fit women, and if you are going to hate on women that can pull of just wearing a sports bra, use that hate to motivate you

    1.) Guys that spend more time looking in the mirror at themselves than they do lifting weights. A group of four guys at my gym do that. I wonder just how many successful relationships start at gyms...hmm.

    Ok, I did that one day last week, I caught myself in the big mirror wall, and though "holy f#!k! My legs got bigger." which probably wouldn't happen (the surprise, not the size increase) if the mirrors in our house were at a useful hight. (My wife made me change medicine cabinets to one that I can barely use to shave with, because the old one was low enough that she might accidentally see her chest in. Only one mirror even goes to my stomach, and it is kinda covered with random stuff. My wife hates mirrors.) (And she is a size 2!)

    Personal trainers that are out of shape. We've got quite a few trainers at my gym, I'd say maybe 5-6 that do different days. I can honestly say there is only one of them that I would chose to have a session with purely judging by his body. Maybe this is just me but I wouldn't use an out of shape personal trainer. Wouldn't really motivate if they can't practise what they preach!

    Those dudes who strut around like they own the place even though they look ridiculous from working out everything but the legs.

    Maybe they think it makes their top halfs look bigger? :-)

    Guys who hang out around the squat and deadlift area and talk more than they lift - I don't care how much you "lifted" two days ago, go grab a bar and do some lifting or go somewhere else. It's my turn to lift. (Seriously - I had someone talk to me for 15 minutes straight when I was in the middle of my lifting.)

    Other than that, I have no problems with my gym - it's mostly a free weight gym with plenty of squat racks, barbells, and heavy metal for all :)
