Pet Peeves at the Gym
Replies
-
I just hate creepers in general at the gym!0
-
not putting weights on a weight tree correctly (I get full workouts fixing this ****)
You and me both, brother.0 -
definitely the folks who grunt and moan for EVERY. SINGLE. REP. I get it helps with the last couple, but the first one and two I shouldn't hear you over my headphones. I always feel like they are doing it for people to look over and see how much weight they are lifting,0

when waiting for a piece of equipment they know your waiting they can see you standing there looking at them and inbetween their sets they get out their phone an type type .. its like hurry the F up0
-
People sitting and resting on the machine that you want to use! >:( Irritates me every time, like, you're done, now get off!0
-
I go to Curves and it drives me crazy when people get to talking and don't move off the machines when they're supposed to. xD0
-
My pet peeve is "gym bunnies". They wear make up to the gym and are looking for a boo thang. Move please and let those of us who are serious about working out use the equipment.0
-
People who fart! Or wear too much deodorant! When I'm doing cardio and struggling to breathe already, I don't need those smells choking me!0

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?
that really iritates me too! Its like they are competing with me .
HA! I do this! And I am! I thought I was being sneaky about it, but I guess I was wrong. I apologize on behalf of all of us competitive looky-loos and I promise I won't do it again.0 -
I hate it when I'm on the treadmill and a lovely young lady joins me to my left or right and she isn't wearing the right type of support bra. I don't even know where to look, I start looking at the cieling, the floor...I was even examining my nails while running at 8.0. All in the name of not being a creeper.0
-
When the rest of treadmills ( or ellipticals) are empty and a person jumps on the one right next to me.0
-
when people talk to me. lol. I mean when they are trying to have an actual conversation with me. I don't mind quick hello's or comments or questions, but I don't want to stand around and talk to you for 10 minutes. I have things to do.0

I don't work out at a gym anymore.
This is why.
I would hear animal noises.
MOO! OINK! MOO!
:mad:0 -
People with horrible form, Cardio hoes, People who try to lift way to much weight than they can actually do0
-
People who rush to beat me in getting to a machine or bench. Is this a competition? Then I go somewhere else and watch them and they take forever. I could have done at least fifteen sets while they were there screwing around.
I've been at my gym for a long time. I know which ellipticals work (ie, won't unplug, the machine is set in the increments I use (lb, not kg), the pedals are balanced, the machine doesn't sound like it's going to die when I use it, etc) and it sucks when I have to go in next to someone one when there are 10 open and broken ones all around us.
I also don't like it when women come in, claim an elliptical by putting all their junk on it, then walk away to do who knows what. There's a locker room available for a reason.
I hate it when toned, fit women use such a low weight on the machine, you have to ask "what's the point?" 30-40 pounds for the hip abduction/adduction?
When 4 of the 6 TV's are set to the same channel.
And I've had to ask the child care to call me instead of paging me over their sound system. It sucks and the speakers sound like we're in a train station... echo-y and impossible to comprehend.0 -
To me its when women at the gym are overly confident and get naked in front of everyone and flaunt it a little too much. Any one for that matter. They should really have changing rooms at the gym.0
-
People who reserves the freakin' bench, any machine, or squat rack while they're doing something else. I'm like "hey mother**** can I use this real quick? I just need to finish my last set then it's all youuurs.. and i mean all yoooouuuursssss."0
-
People who treat the gym like a cat walk / fashion exchange. (Directed to Essex Girls, chavs and Valley Girls)
People talking to me when I can just about breathe!
Smelly people.
People who 'hover'.. they seem to 'hover' around not doing much. just being nosey...0 -
doesnt affect me but just makes me wonder...
people who come in wearing their gym clothes work up a sweat (and dont bring a towel) and then just stroll out.
Fair enough there is a shower at your house but i like to be clean! as soon as im done in the gym i go straight to have a shower in the locker room, not wait 20mins to drive home let the sweat go dry and stale then wash.
Just an opinion i guess
I try to zone into what im doing and try not to worry about others are doing so if someone gets on the treadmill next to me i remain facing forward and ignore what they are doing. Judge me all you like im here for me to improve my body, if you have a problem that im not running as fast as you....call me out on it dont just stare at my screen0 -

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.
You just typed everything i wanted to say! ;-)0 -
The two guys who start doing karate moves on each other every night in the weight area by the squat benches. THERE IS NOT ROOM. This isn't MMA class. And those aren't even real techniques you are doing, asshats.0
-
I hate people talking to me when i try to concentrate and then when i stop to listen they start talking to someone else. It happens alot and its always women. happened today and i was happy when she left0
-
Hmm... interesting info here. I'm thinking about joining a local gym. I'll keep these in mind0

This too0 -
YES!! This drives me crazy, too!!0

When there are ten EMPTY treadmills and someone ALWAYS has to climb on the one RIGHT NEXT TO ME!!!! UGH!
YEEEEEEESSSSS!!!! What is THAT about???? :huh:0 -
Woman that wear make-up and jewelry like they are at the club and do next to nothing while staring at everyone else working out.
Ppl that dont wipe off the machines.
Guys that get on the treadmill behind me just to watch my *kitten* while Im on the elliptical.
ppl that get on the machine right next to me (and theres 15 empty ones left)
I guess I have the same c/o as just about everyone else on here. lol:laugh:0 -
