haha yea some of the music just totally kills my mood and makes me depressed and sometimes i don't wanna be wearing headphones...freaking music at the gym.. just awful...0 -
A slow swimmer choosing to share a lane with a fast swimmer when the person one lane over is more equivalent to his/her pace and then proceeding to swim breaststroke and take up 3/4 of the lane......urgh!
Also, strong swimmers hanging around the edge of the pool where the weaker swimmers (le me) are trying to do laps where the side of the pool is in reach should they struggle.
I'm a crappy swimmer (still go because I love the workout I get) and it happens to me all the time
I get we all have a right to be there but they can see how awful I am, how I need to be near the side otherwise I freak out and die, and still they look at me when I try to get past them like it's some great injustice. Could they not just lurk a bit further out? 0 -
It does make me laugh! But I still need an answer-whhhyyyyy??? LOLAlso, what is up with these two guys who do martial art like moves and punch air between sets? I'm being serious-does this keep their heart rate up or something?
I am picturing this in my head, I hope you laugh because it makes me laugh just thinking about it!0 -
wearing makeup and perfume
I'm leaving puddles of sweat and breathing heavy and you are gagging me with some obnoxious smell!
Well... a lot of people go to the gym after work so this doesn't bother me. I wear make up to work, I'm not going to take it off just to work out. I'll go home and do that.
What's up with people that put the treadmill on the highest incline and then hang on to the bars for dear life? Not accomplishing anything sorry!0 -
It's pretty difficult to piss me off, unless you do one of the following:
Douse yourself in perfume/cologne. I'd rather smell your B.O. than be choked by that fake crap you sprayed on.
Cough and/or be visibly ill while still sharing the gym, mouth-breathing your germs everywhere. Caught a bad cold from a guy next to me on a treadmill almost hacking up a lung, not covering his face.
Talk loudly on your phone/headset while working out. You are not only disrupting others, you are not putting enough into your workout and you're wasting your time.
People who get on ultra-squeaky cardio equipment (24 Fitness has plenty of it) which is obviously busted but continue to use it despite the deafening squeal of unoiled components desperately trying to function.0 -

yes punching definitely keeps your heart rate up. But they just do it to show off i'm sure. We heavy heavy bags for that.0 -
What's up with all the haterz at the gym, worried about my make up, because I go straight to the gym after work, you should worry and concentrate on your work out, and instead of complaining about superfolus bs that has absolutely zero effect on you.
I said it, I went there, and I'm done.:smokin:
I'm cool with girls and make up, unless they are putting it on between sets!0 -

Agreed! I even wear my hair down when I lift, can't imagine what some people have to say about that!0 -

This. I get it when you've just come from somewhere, but I don't get people who wear make-up just to go to the gym. I remember my PE classes in high school were full of girls who'd put layers of the stuff on before a class. :P0 -

Well speaking for myself, I would hate for people to have to look at me without it. Trust me, we're doing you guys a favor. Just appreciate the beauty and quit *****ing about it.

All of 2 of us in the pool during the alloted LAP SWIM time and this dude is practically swimming on top of me (I'd already been there 20 minutes doing hard core laps before he even jumped in and I was right along the side minding my own calorie burn) and is actually swimming so close that he is hitting my foot. I stop, shoot him a dirty look which he totally sees and then he stops swimming and starts walking laps ACROSS the pool so every time I do a lap I have to look up to avoid hitting him cuz I can see his feet 10 feet ahead right in front of me. EFF OFF DUDE!!!! Never said a word to me but tried REAL hard to be in my way.0

the office staf always eating pizza in the gym....while people try to work out and lose weight
Do the calories count for all the people in the room? Dang! I've been tracking wrong!0 -
Guy walks up to dumbbell rack, grabs the 25s and, without moving anywhere, commences a shaky, poorly-formed set of bicep curls for the next minute all the while blocking everyone else's access to the 15s, the 20s, the 30s, the 35s... Move to an open area or just otherwise get out of the way!0

What's up with paying 110.00 per month at the Gym and NEVER going?0

No but why bring those temptations in! I quit going to my local gym because the staff behind the counter were always eating mcdonalds, the trainers walked around with bags of doritoes and they even brought in cake when their staffers had birthdays! Save it for the lunch room please! I have a hard enough time resisting those foods without smelling them!0 -
Put your goddam pants on when you're done in the shower....Jees!
Phone your friends and update your freakin' Facebook status AFTER you have finished in the gym. It's not that important, is it?0 -
I shouldn't talk because that's where i do my shoulder shrugs for my traps... haha
HILARIOUS!!!!
lmao0 -
Amen to your 2nd point agriffiths. It pisses me off when I know that someone who has just finished a set does not take 3 minutes for a muscle relax period and is Facebooking while they are on the machines. I have addressed this to the manager Buthelezi just says to ask to work in on the machine. Why should I ask? It is rude to totally not understand that you are using equipment that other people use. This also holds true to people that text. Go to the gym , use the gym , leave the gym. Otherwise stay home and socialize at your desk.0

Ah - but I have since come to realise, this is the closest these guys get to having real human contact, 1000+ FB friends, maybe, but how many have you met??? Phone down, gloves on and go for it of go home, log in and piss off...0 -
Guys who get free towels at the gym and just leave them on the floor when they leave. Also when people come back from the pool , they come back to the locker room to get their towel. By this means they are dripping water all over the floor at the lockers. I have to find an old used towel to wipe up the lake off the floor before I can change. Come on dudes , you can have as many towels that you ask. Dry yourself before you come back to the locker. That includes you people coming from the showers also.0

Cell phones!!!! Do not bring and use your cellphone while at the gym (unless ur using it for music)0
-
Agreed! Don't know if they're forgetting they're not home..hahaaWhat is up with naked old men roaming around the locker room at the gym as if they are lost? Now that I think about it they probably are but at least be lost with a towel!0 -
RE cell phones - I take mine and write my workout into the notepad function on it, but never call or facebook :P
Don't be so quick to judge, that could be waht others are doing too and not facebooking!!0 -

Agree. I never understood people who could talk on their cell phones and "work out". That said, I do have mine on me because I use it to watch HBO go while I'm on the stairclimber. Helps me focus on something else.0 -
what is up with girls wearing their hair down and full face of makeup at the gym???
if you are still pretty after a workout..you are not working out hard enough : )0 -
What is up with the guys and girls who go wayyyyy overboard on the perfume/cologne/deodorant at the gym?
When I'm out of breath and working hard the overwhelming smell of Axe makes me gag.0 -

I do this. Not because I dress up for the gym, but because I came after work. I do not, however, look good after. I look like a sweaty girl with full makeup and hair down hehe :-P0
