    I love to hate at the gym. Cute fit girls push me to work harder. That said, I hate the Creepy Stare-ers. Ugly guys who, even if I was single, wouldn't have a chance.

    So are creepy, good-looking guys that stare ok? :P

    There is a dude who uses the treadmill who wears velcro sandals. Come on! You cannot be serious.....drives me nuts.
    Or people who sit on a weight machine texting and not actually doing any working out....

    If good looking guys were staring they wouldn't be creepy. It's the mid forties, receding hairline, huge beer guy gross teeth grin that really gets me

    Or guys who wear bras on their heads

    This has been interesting, especially the old guys drying their balls with the hair dryer thing? Who Knew?

    First off: I wear makeup to the gym, when I wake up in the mornig I don't FEEL awake unless I look awake. I don't cake it on, but I put enough on that if I see MYSELF in the mirror I'm cool with it. Has nohing to do with anything but ME.

    Secondly: I m always wearing a sports bra with nothing else on top...I get HOT and uncomfortable if I wear anything more, it's about my comfort. Also, I learned a long time ago to accentuate the positive, I have hips, and a big butt but I have super flat and muscular abs, therefore I show em off. I'm proud of em. And if people are looking at my middle they aren't focused on my butt, thighs and hips. LOL It's about my inescurities yes, but also about what I'm proud of. I don't however, wear booty shorts...because my thighs are not as great as my abs...believe me, if they were...I would wear those too. Why not rock what you look great in? It shouldn't be an offense to anyone else.

    Just my two cents! :)

    I find it hard to focus if I'm tuned in to what others are doing. But I'm allergic to many fragrances so if I start choking on them I do get a little annoyed. That said, the smell they're covering up might be even more annoying.

    people that just sit on the machines using their phones. they'll use it once, not even a set, and go back to using their phones. usually only happens on a machine that I've been waiting to use

    I don't like the dudes that come into the locker room, collecting pubes from the floor, and making hair dolls out of them. And then they have the audacity to try and sell the dolls to you!
    LMAO where the eff do you go to the gym or what have you been smoking?

    Well played.

    And that was just an accident. I fell and when I got up, there was a damn bra on my head.

    At my gym, everyone is ignored by the staff, except hot girls.
    They hover over them.

    People who cough and don't cover their mouths, getting their germs on the machine. People who don't wipe down cardio machines when done. People who talk on the phone during their workout. Dudes who make it sound like a porno with all their grunting. People who slam weights down.

    Now that I've switched gyms, my pet peeves have gone down a bit.. but the one that gets me at my new gym, is people on the track upstairs.

    There is a sign that clearly says slower traffic stay to the inside while faster traffic stay to the outside.While I'm running around the track I have all these people walking in the outside lanes and messing up my stride because I constantly have to speed up/slow down and go around them.

    Also had one speed walker following me around the track today and no matter which lane I was in, he was right behind me.. Creeped me out a bit!
    yikes

    Yikes is right.

    Eventually he got the hint and started speed walking on the inside.. but I was legit afraid that he would crash into me if I stopped suddenly because thats how close he was!

    When people don't wipe their machines. I know that they know they are supposed to do it. Lazy! :mad: Also, there is a lady that invades my space. At 4:45 AM the gym is practically empty and there are plenty of machines. She insists on getting the one right next to me and I can feel her staring down the display on my machine. Never Fails! Maybe she wants to be friends, or has some sort of issue with allowing others some personal space. Or maybe I am territorial. ha. but at 4:45 AM I don't need any new friends or a stranger breathing all over me and my machine!
    I might be quirky..but that bugs me!!

    That happens way too often. The stress and the exertion sometimes ignites something fierce inside their bellies.

    The lady who was talking LOUDLY on her cell phone while lifting today pissed me off.

    This doesn't piss me off but it confuses me; why do full hair and makeup to go sweat at the gym? :huh:

    Wait... you notice other people at the gym?


    Also, how is she in your way if she never gets on a machine? lol....

    It sounds crazy, but it's quite the intricate process.

    I'll give you a personal example from my last experience with what I guess are new year's resolutionists. [side note, great for them to be exercising, NOT GREAT for them to be doing what I'm about to describe]

    at my gym, we have 2 leg lift machines. you know, the ones where you basically hold yourself up by your arms, brace your back against the back-pad..thing..provided, and lift your legs. works your upper thighs and your abs, specifically lower where everyone gets that pooch which is why I personally love it. we have two of them. I went at 11:30pm Friday night to avoid the people who hang out on the machines - generally the ones that come when it's SUPER busy - and two girls were over there. one was standing on one of the bars of one of the machines. no, she didn't use it. not once, actually. not one single time. what was she doing, you ask? texting. her friend was on a stability ball or whatever you call them - the huge bouncy ball that's good for doing crunches and other things. oh, did I mention she was LAYING on the stability ball? oh, and that she was also blocking the other piece of leg lift equipment? good for her for working out though, right? NOT. guess what she was doing! TEXTING. you know how I know? because they were talking loud enough for all 5,000 square feet of this place to hear. they were both talking to the same guy..Justin? Jarred? showing each other their texts with him. giggling. talking. texting. LOUNGING on these machines. were they using the machines? no. one of them was technically "on" it but STILL not using it. I ran a mile and climbed 50 floors before they moved, and trust me - I am NOT a fast runner.

    these are the people that annoy me at the gym.

    as for the old men and their ball flashing tendancies...*gag*

    (just kidding, sort of)

    what's TRX? and I do zumba! and I definitely am from earth, nor am I Latin. I'm as white as they come. I'm going to go out on a limb and say you mentioned zumba people because they generally are in crazy-bright neon colored outfits?
