    Guys who have 3-4 sets of dumbbells at their bench for their sets. You don't need them all at once.

    People walking on the treadmill at 1.4mph and gripping the side rails

    This is what I was going to say. Drives me nuts. You come to the gym to lose weight/get in shape, and you walk slowly while you hold on to the rails for dear life. Good luck with that.

    People who sweat all over the machines and dont dry them before moving on. :noway:

    Men who hog the smith machine in packs of four and just sit there most the time! :sad:

    Men who tell me I look lost and ask if I need help when all im wondering is when the hell are you going to stop talking and move out the way so I can lift some weights! :grumble:

    aaaarrrrrrgggggghhhhhhh so annoying

    and for the last one . . . . . . 'men who look at the weight your about to bench and exclaim 'you do realise the bar already weighs 20kg'?? :angry:

    But other then that . . . . . . . . .

    People who are there to do other things than workout. The gym is for working out and exercise not for picking up peeps, or talking on the phone taking up space.

    The loud talkers who want to show off and let you hear what they are trying to say.

    When big, muscle-y guys dominate the smaller weights that are the only things I can lift yet to do bicep curls for 40 minutes. SERIOUSLY DUDE! GIMME MY GIRLY WEIGHTS! I'm trying to work my way up, but my gym only has one set of 17.5s and one set of 22.5s that are as high as I can go on certain exercises so far, and it drives me nuts when some huge guy who can obviously lift more is using them for ages, lol. I'm just waiting for the day that I'm strong enough that I can just roll my eyes at them and go up a level!

    Also, people who don't bother to learn how to exercise properly before they go to the gym. Not so much because they're in the way (although they occasionally are, but whatever, my gym is crowded) but because I cringe every time I see them because I'm afraid they're going to land themselves in the ER.

    There were these 3 ladies that would have very loud (hear them all over the gym) bible discussions/arguments. I mean, I'm not complaining that they had their church chat sessions, but to be so loud that I can hear them over my music while I'm at the other side of the gym?!?!

    I don't frequent the gym often anymore because I am a Turbo Fire junkie here at home ~ but if I did, I would most certainly be one of those people who totally annoy you gripping the rails of the treadmill ... so sorry! If I didn't I would go flying off the thing due to my extreme lack of coordination :blushing:

    Agreed! I can't seem to understand how people can run without flying off and dying. I have to at least have my hands resting on the side of I'll definitely fall over. :laugh:

    Okay, I know many of you spend time at the gym and you've seen your share of interesting characters. What annoys you while you there? Here's a couple from me

    1) People who parked their behinds on one of the weight machines without using them, probably on their cell phones or texting.

    2) Folks who make all these obnoxious grunt noises while they are own the elliptical or treadmill. I mean, really. Is all that really necessary?

    these are both of mine, exactly! also, when people try to talk to me, to make small talk or whatever. grrrr... i have earbuds in my ears for a reason!

    The only thing that bugs me is stuff that actually physically affects me. That pisses me off. For example, the people who apply huge amounts of perfume or cologne right before they get up next to you on the treadmill. It's really hard to run when my lungs are on fire and I can't breathe through your cloud of funk. You can do or wear or say or be whatever you want at the gym, but when it starts to negatively impact others, it's not cool! :explode:

    I don't pay much attention to others when I work out, but two things bother me:

    (1) Not wiping down the machines after using them.

    (2) Talking during Spinning. The instructor worked hard putting together this ride, and I would like to be able to hear his/her instructions, not whatever BS other people want to talk about.

    1. Guys who don't re-rack their weights
    2. People who use the weight benches as a)benches to conduct long, rambling conversations or b) places to rest their water while they walk around aimlessly or use the machines.

    That burns me up when I see weights sitting on the freaking floor. He had enough strength to arm curl them, he should have enough to put them back where from. Stupid jackhole.

    :laugh: lol^^^

    the people who bathe in cologne or perfume before coming to the gym, and the people who walk 2 or more across in the current channel chatting during the water walking class
