    I've always been "invisible" in life. In high school people ran into me all the time as if I wasn't there. Take this and multiply it by 10...that's gyms for me. I've almost been knocked down the stairs before! IDK what it is about gyms, but I'm extra invisible to fellow gym goers...

    Mine is the gym's own group of personal trainers that continuously bother me and try to get me to sign up for their sessions. I say that I'm not interested each time, but they stop me on the way out when I'm covered and sweat and out of breath, and will do so almost each time I go to my gym. Since I have social anxiety I stopped going for a while. I'm back in and haven't run into the same ones yet so here's hoping they stopped bugging!

    OP's Post:
    and looking at women at the gym.....

    I hate people like you at the gym. Being looked at is such a big pet peeve- not just from guys, but I hate feeling like I'm being watched.

    The gym is not for you to go and ogle women. It's a place to focus on YOU and your health goals. :grumble:

    Guys moaning while they're on the treadmill next to me. REALLY....it's THAT exhausting?! Sweat pouring off and them not wiping it off the machine too!

    If there is one thing for me to hate about the gym, then i have to say that they are not open 24 hours a day so i could even go to there at nights when i have trouble sleeping

    Yeah that would be handy.

    There's this guy at my gym who is the epitome of obnoxious. He hisses and grunts on EVERY lift, throws weights to the ground (not just drops them - he THROWS them), listens to his music via the speakers on his phone. The worst part is the pep talks. Between sets, he'll go over to the mirror, stare at himself deeply in the eyes, and yell things like "WE GO HARD!" "WE GOT THIS." "WE ARE STRONG."

    This is an apartment complex gym. Quiet down man, it's a tiny space.

    Haha oh dear I don't think I'd be able to workout with him in the same gym without laughing. Also with the pep talks I don't know why but I imagined him doing the Cool Runnings pep talk - I see pride! I see power! I see a bad *kitten* mother that don't take no crap off of nobody!!

    By far one of the best movie pep talks ever.... might be right behind the Miracle pep talk

    When girl look messy,no make up,hair in a gross ponytale,ect. come on ladies:angry:

    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

    Yeah.. NO. I'm not wearing freaking makeup and doing my hair to go to the gym. Not happening.

    girls wearing make-up
    I'm guilty of that but only because sometimes I don't wash my makeup off at night :p

    Start making an effort to take it off. Sleeping with makeup on will ruin your skin long term.
    I have a friend who always did that... still does in fact. She has skin like a lizard.

    The abominably bad music - its enough to make anyone's ears bleed.

    ^this, i usually don't worry about much. but when i go to my gym with a lifting buddy or without headphones, it's either Shania Twain/Taylor Swift country or Brittany Spears/disco love songs. think i'd get more pumped hearing the treadmills squeelin. then of course i walk out unwillingly knowing words to all the songs

    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 do not fit in the curl rack.

    girls wearing make-up

    I wear make up because I go after work

    Lettuce be real here, you'd wear makeup even if you didn't have work before.


    Yup, I put on my fake eyelashes too :eye roll:
