What annoys you about others at the gym?

I live in a nice community and we have a great, full-size gym that we go to for free (with our annual dues). It's clean, well-kept and everyone there is really nice.
My only gripe? The high school set who work out there. Now, the boys are really nice and have never been disrespectful. But, they are teenage boys. They congregate and hover around equipment. They hoard dumbbells - especially those 10-20 lbs weights that naturally...I need! LOL
But, really - that's my only woe. I guess I'm pretty lucky!! lol0 -
Not enough women showing more skin around the elliptical........Yeh yeh....I'm happily married but, here is my point. I want my heart rate increased quicker when I start so I know I'm burning optimal calories. I'm thinking more women showing more skin around the elliptical could improve that. :smokin:
has anybody noticed this guy? this is the dude who chooses the treadmill right next to you when the whole row is empty. heck, when the whole GYM is empty.
also, you are not happily married.0 -
Only one thing bugs me at my gym. A chick i know claims to lift heavy, but all she does is bicep curls, tricep extensions, and side bends in the aerobics room. She uses the chest fly machine a bunch as well. Ive never seen her in the free weights section, unless she is picking up a db or two and leaving. Its bothersom because i know her and have known her for a long time. Why lie?0

girls that wear makeup
I go to the gym straight from work, so I have my makeup on. I don't feel the need to wash my face before working out. It's not like I get dolled up to go to the gym. Maybe the other girl's you are seeing are in a similar situation? (Sidenote, I don't wear a ton of makeup but do have concealer, eyeliner and mascara on).
I go to the Ottawa U gym. Its very apparent which girls go there to workout and those that go to hangout. Also, you are right, I may not always be able to tell but I dont notice every girl that walk in with makeup on. Sometimes even in the middle of an intense workout you just happen to notice someone with heavy makeup on and you think "that's going to get messy" but If you are sweating like a crazy person ... no matter what I have respect :P anyways props to you for being able to fit it all in makeup or no makeuo :P0 -
when homosexuals stand around and just stare at me work out. i'm not a homophobic but it's just weird and awkward. although i don't blame them for looking.0

The way ilooked today I needed sum make up at the gym :-)0 -
Old men (or any men for that matter) wearing bike shorts
Fat guys who think their fat is muscle
Fat guys lifting weights instead of getting on the treadmill
People who make the gym a social gathering
Old men sitting in the locker room talking while wearing no clothes
People who do not remove the plates from the equipment when they have finished
People who wear their sunglasses in the gym
Guys who wear blue jeans and cowboy boots to workout0 -
I hate it when people don't clean up and just walk away like nothing.... Im like really and I bust out with my lysol pack.. lol0

I go to the gym for myself so I focus on nothing but myself. I don't care what other people are doing at the gym. There are more important things than watching what some girl does or doesnt do with men at the gym.0

OK this happened a few years ago. After an early morning workout I am in the sauna and a fellow walks in with a water bottle. After a couple of minutes he asks if it is OK to water the stones. Yeah no problem the bucket and ladle are on the floor next to the heater. This clown takes a mouth full of water from his bottle and spits it on the stones.
When I said what the ^#%^#, he looks at me and says "whats wrong?"0 -
This ^^^ when I go by myself I don't look at anyone but me in the mirror and the tv on the cardio machines.I go to the gym for myself so I focus on nothing but myself. I don't care what other people are doing at the gym. There are more important things than watching what some girl does or doesnt do with men at the gym.
But yesterday I did make a mental note of one girl who looked very fashion coordinated for the gym.
Pink bright running shoes, darker grey pants and a same color pink top. Looked really cute.0 -
Tyler if its the same old man maybe you should turn him in lol he might be hitting on youWhen the old guys are standing at the sink, drying their balls with the gym supplied hair dryers...
^^^ This or banging their balls against the scale post ...eww
Or as I am tying my shoes to leave for the day, they are standing right THERE & their balls almost hit me..
Nope, it's the same group of 6 or so old guys.
They come in, just to stand in the locker room naked and bullsh*t.
Yea this happens at pretty much every gym... It's like a damn epidemic
Hate to break it to ya fellas....but this is not just limited to old men. The older women at my gym do the same thing. They walk around the locker room naked like they own the place. If I wanted to see naked people, I'd go to a strip club. But I think the WORST is when they sit down on the locker room benches completely naked. Makes me want to vomit. And what happened to the elderly being modest?!?
So true... I see it all the time and in the Sauna too... Really gross...0 -
Fat guys lifting weights instead of getting on the treadmill
I would point out that you can burn fat more efficiently by adding muscle. So fat guys lifting weights makes sense, especially since you can't do specific exercises to target fat in any one location.People who wear their sunglasses in the gym
I have considered doing this. :glasses:0 -
When there is a limited amount of treadmill, and there is nothing but lazy *kitten* people walking at a very slow pace! Even if you put it on an incline, walking on a treadmill will not do enough to really help! Take your *kitten* to the pavement and speed walk sweetheart! I’m here to run!0

Can't stand it. There's one guy who always wears his and where's these knee high socks. Must've seen it in a hip hop video.0 -

Seriously. Running can also be done outside, fyi.
Only things that bother me are folks who don't re-rack and loud cell-phone talkers. Nothing else affects me. OK, actually, the people who stand in the front row at Zumba watching themselves in the mirror, all pouty and serious like they are auditioning for a Broadway show, bug me, but I recognize this is my problem.0 -
lmao Tyler
It honest to God happens. & I know it's not just my gym, cause I have seen MANY posts about it..
or the classic tying shoes and they put their knee up on the bench to talk to you0 -
when they don't clean the machine when they get off............I always clean when I get on and get off of the machines. I'm not taking any chances.....hahaha0

Your right. And I do 95% of the time. But when I see the same people EVERY SINGLE DAY....NEVER DOING ANYTHING ELSE. Once again, pure laziness.0 -

What gets me even more is when they are on there for more then 30 mins. Its called sharing kids! Respect for others around you!0 -

Judging others burn a lot of calories I guess0 -
Agreed
everyone is there for own reasons, no need to get annoyed or angry etc etc, if theres a problem that persists just speak to the staff, and let them sort it out, other than that people shouldnt be getting upset over what others are doing or not doing at the gym the only thing that matters is what YOU are doing at the gym, which is working out and keeping up your fitnessI don't really ever get annoyed. I'm way to focused to see or hear anyone else

An old lady who stands in the lane in the pool and watches others swim. Right in the way - sucking up a lane. Everyone else has to share lanes. She yelled at me once because I got her wet with a kick splash. She's in the pool!! WTH??0

Today I learned that very little annoys me....
....by some rules of deduction this must mean that I'm the "annoying one" :laugh:0
