    O. M. G. Just had a guy (who was about as big around as my wrist) pop me on my butt and tell me I needed to increase my weight in order to maximize my leg workout. He forced me give him my sweetest "go f#}% yourself" smile. Couldn't help it--had to pop him back and tell him to lead by example.

    I have no problem with helpful advice but A) don't really like random strangers touching me and B)how about be able to show some degree of success first!!

    Wow, er don't ever come to my gym then lol. My philosophy is it's not about how you look in the gym, it's about how the gym makes you look the rest of the time. So yeah, I gradually sweat off my makeup and my hair frizzes up with heat and moisture and my face gets red (especially when I lift), but in my experience you get a lot more respect from the serious athletes there if you're not primping and applying mascara but working your *kitten* off.

    That's why they make waterproof makeup

    Last time I wore waterproof mascara, it gave me chemical burn on my cornea. Sorry, not gonna wear it to please your visual sensitivities. SMH.

    I'm fairly short, so when I have to unrack someone's barbell that they left at about the height of my head on the squat rack, I get a bit annoyed. :grumble:

    Edit: I don't always wear makeup to the gym. I really don't see the need. I'm presentable but for crying out loud I'm there to work out not pick up!

    I hate when people stare at you in disbelief that you would actually take the time to work out. I don't know if that happens to anyone else, but it makes me uncomfortable. It's like they're saying go back to that couch you were sitting on.

    This

    Oh my yes this one! But I no longer care. I'm there for me, and besides, I always out perform the one who's looking over my shoulder. I may be chubby, but I can work it! lol

    I hate when the roid heads scream while doing their sets.

    Well, I don't know about "roid heads" or "screaming". To look at me, you'd never know I even work out (at least not yet), BUT I have been known to grunt rather loudly on difficult rep. It helps somehow. :wink:

    YES! I'm only 5'0" tall. Never mind, that it's just incredibly rude not to put things back the way you found them. Were they raised in a barn?

    A little bit of glancing around is normal - HATE the starers/lurkers/creepers.

    Im sure its been said but when the gym is pretty empty & the person manages to work out directly beside or behind me.

    I hate when your trying to focus on your workout, and someone is staring at you and you feel uncomfortable so you don't wanna finish what you're doing

    I was using the treadmill a while back, buddy comes on the treadmill, first off smells bad. I'm okay with smelling like you've been working out, but MAJOR B.O , than he let out a MASSIVE fart.............I had to get off my treadmill it smelt so bad.

    Aside from that , badly equipped gyms.

    My #1 thing (subject to change on a daily basis) is when people stay on their machine between sets. It's simple, people:

    1) Do your set.
    2) Get off the machine.
    3) Linger by the machine so people know you're not done, but that you're making it available for them to get a set in between yours.

    There. Do that.
