    I don't know how to use some of the machines. I tend to stick to things that I know.

    @pjcfrancis - are the trainers friendly? It's often worth asking them.

    Ugh. The parking lot is way too small...

    Inside the actual gym I stare down the pull-up machine daily. I tend to be there too late to get a trainer to show me how to do it. I have yet to ask some other gym-goer to show me how to do it.

    Too many teenage girls going from machine to machine every few minutes giggling. I think they did a special for students :(

    When the "body builders" claim benches and 4 sets of weights and then stand around chatting to their buddies.

    When people sit on the equipment and talk to each other instead of moving when they're done!

    The guys who lift weights too heavy for them so they can't maintain good form. And their grunts and occasional yells of effort.

    I am sick of getting headaches. It's an issue I have from a chronic neck problem and it pisses me off.

    Oh, the gym. The things frustrating me the most at my gym right now are:

    - People who don't wipe down equipment after themselves - so, so gross. It takes 2 seconds to clean up after yourself; it is the height of rudeness and laziness not to do so.
    - People who don't re-rack their weights after using them. I like to get in, do my workout and get out, I don't want to waste my time wandering around the gym trying to find the dumbells I need, only to discover that some asshat has left them under a bench, tucked away in the corner, abandoned.
    - People that camp out in front of the TRX bands doing sit ups or whatever, and will not move to the alternative empty mat space just to the right of them, which was put there for that exact purpose.
    - People that talk loudly on their mobile phones whilst they are are half-assing it on machines. WHAT ARE YOU DOING? You're here to work out - get on with it.

    Rant over! o:)
