    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:

    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.

    Me neither. I work out at 0530 THEN go home and shower to get ready for work.. NO way am I putting on makeup twice. Not there to p/u guys anyway :noway:

    1.) Curling in the squat rack

    2.) People who don't RE-RACK THE DAMN WEIGHTS

    Garlic girl, that comes in once in a while and hits the treadmill next to the fan, so i dry reach through my Cardio workout. -.-

    BAHAHAHAHAH that might be me!!! eating raw garlic is supposed to be good for you so i try to force myself a few times a week. i do feel really bad for those who choose to workout near me on cardio days. i know it's coming out through my pores but you know what, it's HEALTHY. maybe everyone should get on board the garlic train :wink: :laugh:

    I'm put off by tiny gyms. I would like to be at LEAST a meter away from the person next to me. I don't enjoy feeling like everyone is squashed up next to me when I am trying to run...

    All the people who assume they're perfect and never do anything annoying at the gym themselves.

    People who try to lift way too much weight and have horrible form because of it. I was at the gym the other day and this guy was trying to do curls with 50 pound dumbbells and needless to say it was comical - I thought he was going to throw his back out. He literally was bending over nearly and slinging his entire upper torso to bring the weight up, horrible form, injury waiting to happen.

    People who don't wipe down their machines
    People who will sit on a bench or machine and either socialize or read a magazine for 20 minutes
    Put the weights back where they belong...kind of helps this here Visually Impaired person find what she's looking for!
    Don't give me advice when you're hardly doing anything yourself...I had a barbie doll try to give me pointers for Arnold Press which I know I have god form on
    Don't smother yourself in Axe/cologne/any other perfume or body spray...honestly you smell worse than you do when you're sweaty at that point 'cause I can't breathe either way!
    Don't hog a station - or if you really want to take a 5-minute break between every set at least let me work-in with you, chances are I'll be done long before you.
    While you can approach me with questions/tips on form if I'm a bit off I'd appreciate it if you didn't start chatting with me about the weather and everything else to the point of interfering with my workout.

    another one I came up against today:
    If your gym, like mine, only has 1 shower for guys and 1 shower for girls, 45min showers are just not on.

    Getting to the gym and realizing I left my ear buds home - having to listen to the generic music blaring.

    Those really old women who just got out of the pool and are drying their bathing suit. While walking around with boobs sagging as if they were at the coffee shop. Dude. Clothes please. Or at least a towel?
