Things you hate at the gym!!!

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.

Agreed, this is the number one reason why I was so scared to start going to the gym in the first place. I was having panic attacks when I first went. I like getting on equitment that is behind everyone else for the most part so I don't have to worry about people being behind me talking about me or saying she is sweating to much for her speed or something. idk.

When uber buff guys slam the weights down ---- REPETITIVELY.
-- I understand you're squatting or lifting or something but having the control to set it down is more impressive than throwing it across the room because you keep upping the weight and can't keep up. Fo'sho'!

Bro, do you even lift?

1) Where I go, we have an actual track, and the weight room is in perfect view of said track, so the guys in the weight room line up to watch the women jog by.
2) People who jog/walk side by side on the track so you can't pass them if need be.
3) Old guys with short, loose running shorts who are basically deliberately trying to flash everyone.
4) Those same old guys wearing their loose running shorts to the yoga class.

You seem to be looking VERY CLOSELY at a certain area! :laugh:

Dude no, those guys make it their job to flash people; I've talked to the people who work at the rec building, and they say they have problems with them all the time aha.

I love working out, playing basketball and looking at women at the gym.....but the number one thing I hate at the gym is when cats try to have convos in the locker room while they are naked.......this dude was trying to have a convo about Breaking Bad wit me today....I'm like dude wtf get dressed....

You have some serious man issues.

To me, it's not just a guy thing or a sensitive masculinity thing--the whole not wanting to be talked to when you're changing. It's a personal comfort thing. I, personally, don't much like changing in front of others to begin with, so when I'm deliberately trying to keep to myself and change quickly, it's kind of irritating and uncomfortable when some woman's trying to chat me up while changing bras. Most of the time you can tell by how someone's going about getting dressed (e.g., facing the lockers, keeping their range of motion very limited and to themselves, changing quickly) whether they want to chat or not.

I hate when people have tons of farkarounditis on a piece of a equipment that I'm waiting for. I ask and they say "a few more sets and we're done with the squat rack" and go back to chatting and doing their curls.

Go squat in the curl rack then

i hate when i'm benching and some swole bro walks up and tea bags me.

LMAO!!!

People who can read a book while doing the eliptical or other equipment where your brain shuts down while your body is in dying mode. Lol

I hate when sloots wear yoga pants and don't put out.

everyone knows chicks only wear yoga pants when they are dtf

I did not think this post would take off like that, thanks for all the comments, it seems like we all have some very valid dislikes lol!!!

My biggest hatred of the gym besides naked dudes trying to hold convos is cats who come on the basketball court knowing damn well they cant play ball.......

If you a grown man and cant play basketball please stay off the court with the grown men who can..... its dangerous and it ruins the game!!

Completely with you on the basketball thing. If you come onto the court and proceed to mistake the ball for a football I am going to hurt you. No kicking!!

However, what I hate is when I walk on a court and every guy stops and proceeds to patronise me. I'm aware I'm a girl, thank you for pointing that out. Now take me one on one and see if you still want to tease me.

Regarding gym pet hates - people sitting on machines, taking selfies in the mirror and then taking half an hour to instagram that ish.

I hate so many things.
1)When someone wear perfume/cologne
2)When people talk loud on their phones for too long
3)when there are so many empty equipments and someone come on the one right next to me. ugh
4)when women wear barely anything and their *kitten* are on display.
5)attentiton seekrs
and so much more. Lol

1. bad technique....loading up the leg press or squat rack and only going 2 inches deep
2. Yelling/grunting on your 1st rep!!!!!!
3.Talking to me and I got a hoodie and headphones big as fist on
4. wanting to work in with me and changing the weight
5. Un racked Weights
6. Trainers that just to a test.....not living the life!

I hate just about all the things everyone here listed and that's why I have my own gym at home and I work out to exercise dvd's.

Women with "stank" perfume, dudes that hog the equipment with their buddies, people yapping on cell phones, the fear of getting a staph infection from someone who refuses to wipe the sweat off the equipment,.....................and the list goes on and on. I don't have to put up with it anymore.

This is sooooo funny. Just today, I was having a round table discussion at the gym.

Topic: Things you hate about MFP!!!

The only issue I have is with one guy in particular. He seems to hop on the elliptical every time I am roughly half way through my run on the treadmill. What's the big problem you ask? He farts. Not little quiet toots either. Loud, smelly, WTF did he have for lunch farts. :sick: :sick: As you can already imagine, I'm running and breathing a littlen heavy. I inhale deeply and end up gagging, choking and having to stop my run until I can breathe again. :mad: :explode: :grumble:

Funniest. Post. Ever.

I have 1 public gripe - LAY OFF THE PERFUME/COLOGNE. When I'm running, I don't want a big inhale of Eau de Street Hooker.

My other gripe was with the perky, maybe college aged, woman who hopped on the treadmill next to me the other day, wearing her running gear and looking all fit and trim. I'm plugging along on, doing my Galloway training, so I was doing intervals. She checked out my machine to see what I was doing and just HAD to show me up and bumped up her speed faster than mine. And guess who barely made it 10 minutes?! HA! She thought she was gonna show me up because I was older and overweight. I SHOWED HER!

But I seriously love my gym. Wouldn't go there 6 days a week if I didn't!
