Biggest Pet Peeves at the Gym

- People who don't wear correct footwear - converse & vans are NOT running shoes!!
I'm not running, I'm lifting weights. Converse and vans are flat with no gel in them, unlike running shoes, and therefore are optimal for squats to get back on the heel and remove "bounce", especially if we are not allowed to take our shoes off because of gym rules, otherwise, my shoes would be off!
BTW...Converse=Chuck Taylors=Basketball=running 'n stuff...
Edited: grammar

Guys that grunt and drop weights.
Or howl like wolfs when they are lifting...lol funny.
You need to record that and post a video, LOL!0 -
I wear my daughters fairy wings to the gym sometimes,and black lipstick
You're awesome!:laugh:0 -
At my old gym there was a girl who would occasionally show up at spin class and sing along with the music. That irritated me to no end.
I don't wipe down equipment if I don't sweat on it. I almost never wipe down treadmills because I don't touch anything on it while sweaty. I get on, set the program and time I'm going to do, then run and when it ends I get a 5 min cooldown and then the treadmill stops. Once I set the program, nothing except the bottoms of my shoes touch the machine. Sorry if that offends.
If I'm on a bike, I absolutely wipe it down afterwards.
I personally don't really believe that it is necessary to wipe down machines....I do believe in washing my hands (if not a shower) after going to the gym.
I do wipe down the equipment, but that is mainly because I don't want to sart a riot of angry gym goers.
My pet peeve is hanging onto the treadmill. Sure some people have balance issues, but most don't. I go the highest incline with no hands, and when my heart rate is too much to bear, I will lower the incline. I don't see the point in raising it all the way and holding on.0 -

and girls that come in with a full face of fresh make up and "work out" with their hair down.

I have forgotten my rubber band on a few occasions and it sucks. I also wear make-up when I'm coming from work. Such judgement on appearance. Shouldn't it be enough that I actually went to the gym and worked up a sweat?0 -

I think a full face of make up is different than just coming from a full day of work, IMO. The idea is that they come in with full face of make up and don't sweat because their make up will run down their face.
If your sweat does not interfere with anything, you are not one of the girls they are talking about. :happy:0 -
...Females wearing See through LEGGINGS!!!!! WTF no one wants to see your panties...... Well maybe some dudes do... I guess people just crave for attention!
....Females & Males Who DON'T shower & put back on their regular clothes after their workout.... YUCK! Why can't you just go home in your workout gear??!
...When I'm on the treadmill/ bike and the person next to me is constantly looking to see how fast I'm going & how many mins I did... Like bro I'm not in a competition with you, RELAX!
.... Sitting on the machines & not using it
& yes females wearing make up and/ their hair down is something I don't understand. Your clogging up your pores... more prone to pimples & it's going to mess up anyway!!! Buy some face wipes & take that mask off lol
As for letting your hair down.... its HOT.. your making everyone HOT... just stop it!0 -
2. people who don't give 110% when at the gym.... are you really going to work out later
No one at any gym is giving "110%" because it doesn't exist.0 -
1) stupid inconsiderate a--holes that crowd in front of the entrance of our gym smoking cancer sticks. i hate having to walk through a cloud of smoke to get into the gym. f*ckers.
2) dudes that stare at chicks, whatever, they're creepy and annoying but i REALLY hate it when creepy dudes stare into the group fitness room during zumba classes. there are a few men that hop on the treadmill or elliptical with the "best view" and just stare in the entire class. one guy turned out to be a stalker and was prohibited from coming back to the gym. creepyy!!!
3) people who use a machine or bench, leave their stuff on it and go to another machine.
4) when people don't know how to share lanes in the pool. i had someone do the butterfly straight into me (heads collided) in a shared lane! i was seeing stars for a minute or so. i mean, who does butterfly when there's someone sharing your lane!?0 -
oh!! one more
5) when people purposely wear a sweatshirt during boot camp so they can sweat more...proceeding to leave a trail of PUDDLES behind him. omg. :explode:0 -

You must not be working very hard to notice what other people are doing so much...but hey HOORAY for you0 -
People who comment on the other people in the gym. Whether you're trying to get fit or you are already fit and want to maintain it, we all have our reasons for being there and should support each other not bring them down because they have a different body type.0

The very reason why I bought my own SOLE elliptical to work on at home is my gym pet peeve:
When I'm the only person using the ellipticals and (at the small gym I used to go to) there are about eight to ten available and a person will come in and get on the elliptical RIGHT next to mine.(!) I want to say...why don't you choose one over there? Why the one right next to me? It's weird...and creepy. I just don't get it.
I don't understand why people complain about what others are wearing. I never even look at that. What others wear or how they look is not what motivates me....which is why I don't need a gym to workout. Being healthy is what motivates me and at home, there's only ONE elliptical, so no one can come and invade my personal space. hehe
For me, I have very specific ellipticals I want to use. If I'm reading I don't want to be under the giant lights hanging down from the ceiling. The sun doesn't wash out my kindle but these magic lights somehow do. If I'm listening to music I need one of the ellipticals that has a good view of the foodnetwork TV so I can watch Paula Dean slowly kill herself and her children with butter, It's like a car wreck, but with peaches.0 -

It's not a pet peeve, but I don't understand why some guys workout in jeans and boots. That can't be comfortable.
This is my husband. He runs in Jeans too. Its weird but whatever...lol0 -
People who spend 45 minutes on a treadmill in slippers or clogs and not work out clothes going 1.5 mph and hogging the machines just cause they have to be there for a class.
Seriously?!? Go walk around the track and let the people who actually WANT to work out use the machines!
LOL this reminds me of Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion...lo;0 -
I'm sorry sweating with make up on gives you pimples. I don't have that problem and since I wash my face AFTER I'm done working out, I will continue to go to the gym with make-up on.

i totally agree, you go to the gym to work out not to be stuck on the phone and is not just that is also when they are loud about it!!!0

Yeaaaa this is why I dont go to the gym, because people are too judgy and I'm not perfect.
You get that everywhere..got to just roll with it and keep doing you.0 -
I actually think it is funny to watch the pretty girls try to impress a guy with their weaves and designer athletic gear. I can almost hear Steve Erwin saying, " watch as the female human trys to catch her mate".
hehe. This is especially funny when the guy is half their age and they lay it on really thick only to get rejected. Same goes for the guys that hit on the ladies.
My only pet peeve is when some muscle bound meat head comments about my weight. Yeah dumb *kitten*, that's why I am here and I have just as much right to be here as you do. I pay my membership like everyone else. Don't look at me if you think I'm gross, and for your information this time next year I will be one of those girls that will reject you when you attempt some lame *kitten* pickup line on me. Just because I'm fat now doesn't mean I'm going to stay that way.
Oh and I just very recently got over my fear of going to the gym.0
