    When I've just finished my lifting session, and someone on the treadmill tries to have a nice little chat with me.

    People actually pay to be at the gym just like you do. I hope those judging others are really happy & offer to pay those people to workout then.... cause you all must be superior. Sorry but you people make me sick.

    When people are paying more attention to what you are doing, than what they are doing themselves.

    Isn't that why you lot are doing?

    May I suggest a healthy dose of 'Mind your own business and crack on with your own workout'

    People need to be considerate of others and not load on the perfume. Sorry, its not judging to be upset that someone is wearing too much of that. Judging would be if someone is wearing a tight shirt or something. We are all there to work out in comfort. I go to school with someone that wears too much perfume in college. Makes me sneeze and it is hard for me to concentrate on the lesson. This infringes on MY right to learn. That post about minding your own business cause she pays to go there is a bunch of crap. Perfume has no place when people need clean air to breath.

    That's fine. No sane person is going to argue with that.

    But moaning about the way people run? holding the handlebars? running too heavy?

    Pathetic.

    As long as the person on the next treadmill stays there and doesn't hop on mine I couldn't care less what they get up to. They could run naked for all I care because I'm busy minding my own business and working on my own body.

    In to stay current on people complaining online about other people complaining online about other people...(because hypocrisy is my favorite form of entertainment). And who would have guessed that people would have more treadmill observations than weightlifting observations?

    Speaking of treadmills, while I'm glad that endomondo has finally added treadmill:walking and treadmill:running to their app, I wish they would make the map be off by default. I can see on their website where I can *hide* the map, but can't figure out how to delete it. While a map of the GPS error during my run/walk is interesting, I'd prefer not to have it attached to my run/walk.

    I really hate when people make fun of others holding the handlebars while using an incline. I used the incline for the first time the other day and yes, I held the bars.
    And you know what? I was damn proud of myself for using the incline in the first place.
    I would hate to think that there were people judging me while I was feeling so proud of myself.

    You would have had a better workout if you would have gone flat with no incline and carrying your whole weight without holding on to the bars.
    anyways you do look hot !!:devil:

    No one asked you to admit whether you held onto the bars or not.. be proud that you wasted so much time getting a poor burn by cheating. Go for the elliptical, there you can hold onto the bars, free up the treadmill at the gym and still get a great workout!

    I find this entire thread to be negative and de-motivating.

    I feel bad for the people who just started and have lower self-esteem but are out there making an effort only to know now that they are being judged by others.

    Un-frigging-real.

    You all must be so amazing.

    Did you really just tell her how to work out? To free up a treadmill at the gym? Seriously? Get a frigging life.

    Agree.

    This is a reason I hate going to the gym, people like this who judge others. We all go to the gym to be fit and stay fit. You guys snarky remarks make poeple who already have confidence issues hate themselves even more.
    Be considerate.

    Everyone starts at a different level! Handles or not they're still working out.
    Get off your high horse.
