I eep seeing all these hreads about what people hate seeing or what annoys them in the gym and I thought I'd start a more POSITIVE one about what people love seeing.

1) I love seeing overweight people in the gym and pushing themselves, that courage just to come down and get on the bike is amazing :)

2) people really getting into their work out - I was on the bike the other night and got so into my workout I was sort of dancing and mouthing along to the songs that were coming on to my ipod while I wokred out. I was totally in the zone!

Whats yours?

    1. emptiness...i hate when the gym is packed,i hate feeling like someone is watching me wondering will this dude finish up the set already?

    2.yoga pants on the hip adductor...technically speaking its probably the least effective machine in the place but i don't mind the eye candy

    3. seeing overweight regulars...theres a couple people who are as often as me...i see progress, they watch mine, we dont know one another but theres an unspoken recognition

    I definitely love that, too.

    And I love seeing most of the staff members at my gym because they're soooo nice and encouraging, always smile at you, help you out without making you feel stupid, etc. It also makes everyone else there nicer, everyone's just greeting and smiling at each other. Such a huge difference to my old gym where everyone was always grumpy.

    Old people. Love to see people actually caring about their health, even in their 60-70s. :)

    Very senior citizens, especially women, using the weight machines :)

    I love seeing people that are in there that you can TELL are trying to change their lifestyle.

    But.. if I'm honest.. I also love seeing the hot gym instructors ;)

    Oh.. on my fella working hard (mostly because he looks in pain and I'm sadistic like that :P)

    There's a couple at my gym that are there every morning when I am working out. They go slow but I can tell that they do what they can-I'm impressed and hope when I'm old I'll still be at the gym :smile:

    I also love seeing when people clean off their treadmill/bike/ect. after using it instead of just walking away like they were never on it

    An empty gym (I go in the morning at 5am)so I can pick and choice where I want to work out. I also enjoy going late at night too when it's empty

    The "caution floor is wet" sign in the locker room cause I know it means the showers were just cleaned

    I like seeing people smile at me when they recognize me. I am not a very sociable person but it is nice to know there are other people that are in the same place as me for the same goals.

    I am one of those "fat people in the gym" and I'm sure I get some mental pats on the head for that from the lovely fit people ... not sure quite how I feel about that, but I'm just there to work out.

    I love seeing people do bicep curls/bench press in the power rack. It's always important to keep safety first.
