Pet Peeves at the Gym
So I was at the gym the other day and realized how much I HATE it when I'm on the treadmill or elliptical and the person next to me constantly looks over at my machine to see what level I'm on or how many calories I burned :noway: . It's probably not that big of a deal, but it still really irritates me
So what are your gym pet peeves?

People who don't wipe down the machines.
People who hang around on a machine chatting or using their smartphone instead of working out. AHEM! Other people want the machine!
Men who hang around watching group exercise classes. Creeps.
Women who come into the gym wearing more makeup than any of the Real Housewives (TOWIE if you're a Brit) and proceed to pretend to work out.0 -

Yes!! It's like they're purposely trying to annoy the hell out of you:explode:0 -
When I want to use equipment (waiting) and the guy is on his f#$% Cellphone.0

I don't work out at a gym anymore.
This is why.
I would hear animal noises.
MOO! OINK! MOO!

I hate when people talk to me at the gym and stop my workout. This includes my wife. I don't want to stay there any longer than I need to. Wave hello to me and leave me alone.0

Not putting your weights away.
This. An old boyfriend of mine got me into weightlifting in college and he always said pulling the weights on and off and putting them away is part of the workout.0 -
Stinky people.... :grumble:
All other stuff never bothers me

People talking on their phones. Drives me nuts!0

Or they talk on their phone loudly enough that you can hear them over your own headphones.0 -
nothing to really bothers me, because i have on my headphone and im in my own world. The one thing that does bother me is people who leave sweat on the machines and also people who stank lol... i can't stand grown *kitten* people who stink, theres no excuse...NONE..
get Degree... its body heat activated lol
oh, another thing i notice, it doesnt bother me, but it weird that some people work out in regular cloths, like this one dudes works out every saturday in blue jeans and a white tee, then just leaves no shower or change of cloths, he just leaves.0 -
People standing over equipment talking not using it
People on their cellphones (Ive even seen a guy reading a book inbetween sets on the machine cable row..W-T-F)
Stinky people
Dudes who need a reality check
Overweight people in skimpy or tight clothing
Not putting the weights back in the right spot ( come on man. )
Not unracking your weights
Not wiping down your machine if your all sweaty and have gotten it wet in any shape or form
Ive seen people talking chit about other gym members... that really annoys me.0 -

I do see people in street clothes sometimes and I feel overheated just looking at them. I need all those special fabrics that help you to stay cool. But I figure they're probably on a budget and at least they are getting their workout in!
I never shower at the gym if I can possibly avoid it. Nearly always go back home and shower there. (And no, I don't use the pool, so don't worry!)0 -

its different when u leave without showering in work out cloths, but if u leave without changing or showering when u are wearing street cloths, that a whole nother level of funk .. "whole nother Level" lmao0 -
When they do not unload the rack..and I gotta do extra work.. Ya..I said it..I'm lazy..0

When I'm doing some Cardio someone always has to take the machine next to me. Then they either talk on there cell phone or their friend shows up and has to have a conversion that everyone in 200 yard radius can hear. This only happens when I forget to bring my headphones.0

I have had many:
When someone is trying to DESTROY a machine by (the bicycle) by pedaling as intensely as they can and you can hear the bearings screaming.
When some Roided up guy is making all this moaning and groaning and strips down to this underwear right there in front of everyone and stairs in the mirror... gets dressed... works out a while more, and does it again : /
When someone intentionally walks between you and the piece of equipment you are working on instead of walking around.0 -

This one annoys me too. Why must people get on the machine right next to you when there are like 10 extra machines available? It ruins my rhythm and pisses me off.
I am also annoyed by people that sweat all over the equipment and don't bother to wipe it down when they are done and people that monopolize equipment not being aware that there are other people around that might want to use it.0 -
Nothing actually peeves me off, but I do laugh on the inside at all the guys doing an hour of bicep curl variations 3 days a week.0

When I set myself up to do tricep pull downs the other day and walked 2 steps away only to have another woman take the rope and go to another spot and then didn't even use the rope, but I had to find another one in the meantime. Now I'm just irritated when I see that person days later. There's no way she didn't see me put it there 2 seconds prior.
Generally I get annoyed when the machines I want or the dumbbells I want aren't available as we only have 1 of every machine due to my gym downsizing over the past few years.0 -
Most of these irritate me to some degree which is why I work out at 7am. The gym is almost empty at that hour so I don't have to deal with any obnoxious people.0

In my apartment gym, you can't get in without using your keypad. People will try to FLAG me down through the window while I would be in mid jog and making great time. I'd ignore... and THAT'S why I jog outside now.

I totally agree with not liking people who dont wipe machines but what i really dislike is the women that come into the gym in full make up and barely work out then complain to trainers that they arent seeing results um perhaps if you put your phone down and broke a sweat you may get somewhere if not get out of the gym and let others train in peace0

People using a machine I want to get on texting their friends between their sets instead of GETTING ON WITH IT !!! :grumble: :mad: :explode:0

People who curl in the squat rack
