Just a little advice to those who do things that annoy others... guys or girls..
For instance;

Don't be that guy/girl who HAS to ask something during the middle of a set..


Go :)

    don't be that guy/girl who walks into the gym in their "warm up gear", with a cell phone permenantly attached to your ear, even during sets/treadmill/elliptical. If you can talk, you're not working hard enough.

    Don't be the guy/girl that pays way too much attention to what other people are doing at the gym and gets annoyed by everything.

    Don't be that guy/girl who sits in the leg press rack texting or picking a song while you move your legs maybe 3 inches.

    If you aren't leaving a dent in the seat cushion you are wasting your time.

    my main issues at the gym are machine hoggers, the ones sat doing jack *kitten* but siting on the machines or hoarding a bunch of difference free weight equitment to use later on in their work out. If you don't need it in the next 5 mins then don't hoard it.

    And the starers, the creepers who look at you for too long when doing a set, sure they might be looking to see how it;s done but I don't care, stop staring at me or you will geta poke in the eye.

    Other than that I don't care what anyone else does at the gym, if you want to come do the minimum whilst reading on your kindle then up to you, as long as you are not doing one of the things listed above, we all good.

    I live in a condo with basic gym equipment (NICE!) Very annoying to find the bench in the middle of the room surrounded by 45 & 50lb weights...on the floor!! Please..if you can lift them, why not rerack them? And WE KNOW YOU DON'T WIPE YOUR SWEAT OFF THE BENCH...someday I will meet "that guy'' ! Maybe DNA testing for the slob!

    Don't be that ASKhole.. When you ask people questions, they give you their time and effort to explain, then you go and do the complete opposite or not listen

    Hate it when there is a group of guys all congregating around the one machine that I need to get to to finish my workout. Fair enough if it was just one guy but it's like five or six meaning they are hogging the machine for 30-40mins so nobody else can get in there.

    But it is OK to not wipe properly if you're NOT going to the gym?

    At my gym they had to put up a sign at the front door and near the sink stating "Please don't wash your private parts in the sink, that is why we have showers."

    Don't be that creepy guy who sits behind the treadmills on a machine for 20 minutes staring at my *kitten*.

    Don't be that chick who wears a bluetooth chatting away loudly the whole time you're on the treadmill.

    this. always this.

    and if you are this, don't be that guy/girl that posts about it in the forums. everyone secretly hates them.

    Really? I just assumed that is why the gym put machines behind the row of treadmills.

    don't be the guy that when someone asks you for a spot, you say "no."
