You know what bugs me?!? I go to the gym when it's not that busy so that when I'm on a treadmill or and arc trainer I don't have to worry about someone being on either side of me and I can just go about my business of working out. Well today out of no here a guy come and gets on the machine RIGHT next to me. There were at least 7 other machines of the same type next to me. And to make things worse he started going really fast and really hard making it noticeable that he was showing off. Ahhh that bugged me so bad. Ok I'm done venting now.

Seriously! And its even worse when they had garlic yesterday and you can smell it ooozing out of their pores. Or they sing along to their music, or worse, try to talk to you! Get off the machine, do a few stretches, and select a machine far away. Maybe that's his "lucky treadmill" and you're in HIS space.... ;:laugh:0

That happened to me today too! She didn't try to like outdo me or anything but I looked around and there were like 20 other free machines she could have gotten on!0

Sometimes there are certain machines I KNOW work well and that I like and vise versa. (don't work well, and I don't like) Maybe that was one of his favorite machines? :flowerforyou:0

That drives me crazy! For me it's always the person with the most perfume or cologne who does it :grumble:0

That's annoying. I agree, maybe it was his lucky treadmill. I can't wait until I can afford a home gym. That would be really awesome.0

I always pick the machine next to the other person, so they don't feel lonely.
if I see a lone jogger during my night time runs, I'll run up behind her too.0 -
I share this same pet-pieve ) I worked at a gym for almost 4 years in college. This experience resulted in me never, ever wanting to be near gym-rats again. The whole culture of 'do whatever it takes to look good' really messed with my mind, plus the show-offs and creepers that were always around really got under my skin. When I moved up to WA (into a very small apartment, mind you) I invested in my own set of weights, bands, a kettle ball, yoga mat, jumprope, and some workout DVDs and cancelled my GYM membership. Best choice I ever made, I'm getting great workouts in every day and I never have to deal with a gym douche-bag again0

Get over it. Sorry, not really trying to come off as an *kitten*, but seriously? Maybe you look nice and friendly and he just wanted a friendly face to be near. I mean, unless he is trying to mount you or your machine while you are on it, get over it.0

i thought you would feel flattered that you inspired someone to walk across the room and perspire to impress you0

Lol - that would bug me too. And I would have no problem getting off my machine and getting on a different one further away. .0

At ,y gym they have 25-30 treadmills and about 8 have TVs. 3 of them have belts that kind of jerk/slide a bit when I run. So they are certain ones that I like. Then you get on them and someday a they decide to not work with your headphones so you have to move around0

Oh I workout better when someone is faster next to me.0

Nothing quite like someone running up behind you at night to motivate you to move faster.0 -

according to the speedometer on my van, usually around 10-12 mph!0 -
I HATE that. On the days I go to the gym, I go really early in the am so now I rarely have that problem. Still occasionally get the pervs that get on the machine RIGHT behind me when there's 30 others just to look at my butt the whole time. (Do they not realize there's a mirror and I CAN see them???) Lol. :noway:0
