What (who) annoys you at the gym?

For me it's the people who won't get off their cell phones and WORK!

soooooo many things hahaha but top 3=
1) people counting reps out loud- It makes me loose count in my head
2) That group of 3 guys who are constantly chatting about their work out gear
3) The women who wear G-strings above their pants

:explode:

Hmm I have to say the girls who go and chest press 5 pounds and ask for a spot.. really?! Or, the obnoxious grunts and screams when doing weights :S

AuddAlise · February 2013

The only thing that bothers me right now is this group of the same 3 guys who will stand around various machine; not using the machines just standing around them not allowing anyone else to use them.

Only when it's really crowded and I can't use the equipment I came to use

Angeloftheshore · February 2013

To be honest the only thing that has ever bothered me at gyms has been the staff. I tend to get into a "zone" and focus very hard and tune everything out and when staff try and talk to me, it throws me off and is really distracting. Others I pay no attention to. So I look for gyms where the staff speaks to you when you speak to them. That probably sounds bad, but that is why I do not go to gyms that have staff that coaches you. If I want a trainer, I will get a trainer. Otherwise the interruptions cause me to lose focus and nor preform as well. So I am not a meany I just like what I like in a gym.

the noises ppl make when lifting....seriously are you giving birth?...no...well shut up and ooooh the biggest one is when ppl dont wipe down the equipment after using it...."why thankyou, Im so thrilled to have the honour of sitting in your crack sweat, how very kind" gaaaaah

dad106 · February 2013

People who use the squat rack for things other than squatting, over head lifting, etc.

Go curl/stretch/do pushups/other crazy things, else where!

This, and the people who don't clean up after themselves

harric88 · February 2013

Jonesie1984 · February 2013

too much perfume/colonge!! DEATHTRAP!

sirabe · February 2013

People who talk about their political views loudly especially when they haven't taken their headphones off.

horsewhisper91 · February 2013

The people who come in and are on the other side of the room chatting up a storm and you can hear them on the other side of the room clearly. I blare my music through that. One time so loud to ignore them, it went on for about 20 min. Lets just say by the end of my run, my hearing was a little odd for the next hour or so. And didn't work so well....I could still hear them. I need to find my other head sets some time.

artickb22 · February 2013

My gym is at home so pretty much nothing as I'm usually the only one there...unless someone interrupts me while exercising, especially about something trivial.

susannahsutton1 · February 2013

The woman who spends ages in the changing room naked, doing her hair, makeup, checking text messages. I'm no prude but it is odd
The people hogging cardio machines going super slow and reading a book at the same time
People who go on the machine next to you and peer over to see how fast you are going

paleirishmother · February 2013

I've noticed a trend here on MFP. People who go to the gym like to ***** about everything,

_TEMPEST_ · February 2013

We have an older lady that comes to use the machines, and bless her heart she is VIGILANT about disinfecting everything before and after she touches it. The problem is that she sprays the stuff all over the machines and it gets blown around by the fans, leaving everyone with a faceful of disinfectant spray. GAG.
If I see her pulling into the parking lot, I make a bee-line for the "guy's side" of the gym.

Swedgen · February 2013

The gym I go to has a room adjacent to it that is seperated by a glass wall. It has games and stuff in it for kids so parents can dump their kids in there and keep an eye on them while they work out. Sometimes kids press their faces up against the glass and make faces. Makes me want to hurl a 30 pound dumbell at them.

pobalita · February 2013

People who talk really loudly on cell phones on the treadmill or elliptical because they can't hear themselves above the noise of the machine.

The loud grunts of some guys in exerscise classes. I can understand it for lifting, but it's just creepy in yoga.

justicer68 · February 2013

The woman who brings her own little personal fan to aim at her on the cardio equipment. Oh and the woman who hides out in the locker room eating little debbie treats. That one about floored me. Really?? It's a gym...

Heitor71 · February 2013

There is a lady who does abs EVERY SINGLE DAY for about 45 minutes. She might be 5'1 and weight 80lbs or so...and aggressive with anyone in her way.... There is also a group of seniors who do not do anything but flirt with one another. I never cared about it but, it's been 8 weeks and is getting on my nerves!!

dicoveringwhoIam · February 2013

The guy in speedo like shorts with chicken legs, no butt, big arms, big chest, and a big neck, not so much that he looks disturbing but that he grunts, moans, and throws down his weights.

HerBravado · February 2013

Or, the obnoxious grunts and screams when doing weights :S

lmao this.
Like--
why do I need to hear your exaggerated grunts over my music ??
So unnecessary.

crossfit_lover · February 2013

Honestly? Guys who are already ridiculously ripped and continue to do weight and chisel. They're disproportionate and can't fun worth crap but hang out doing bicep curls...come on dude!

hph442 · February 2013

People that make really, loud unusual noises.

AmazonRDH · February 2013

so i used to go to LA Fitness, the treadmills are upstairs overlooking the weight lifting area, and there were always these bleach blonde girls dressed in stripper clothes........ and i mean the tank tops with the "slit" between the boobs to show implant cleavage, 6-inch fake nails and tons of makeup, who would just walk around and never actually pick up a weight or use a machine. I used to just watch the show while I was running, it was sooooo entertaining. ---as a disclaimer i have bleach blonde hair and fake boobs, but i go to the gym in baggy sweats and no makeup SO THERE.

(I'm sure all the guys are wondering where this LA Fitness is..........LOL)

wildcatnyc · February 2013

Not using a towel or wiping down the machines after use...nobody wants to sit in your @ss sweat. Towels are free at my gym, so there's no excuse.

war1575 · February 2013

Nude walkers in the locker room. It seems like every decade older you get, the more comfortable you are with less clothing. Grampa, stop shaving with your balls on the sink and put some clothes on.

I'm usually cool with someone working in on a machine that I'm using, but don't change the weight, change the handles on the cable and move everything around. If you want to use the cables to do back, and I'm doing triceps; you're gonna have to wait.
