    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:)

    • No concept of personal space - like having a chat literally RIGHT BEHIND the step machine I'm on. Seriously, if I fall backwards you're going down.
    • Chatters and texters - JUST WORK OUT. STOP TAKING SELFIES WE CAN SEE YOUR LACK OF MUSCLE DEFINITION THAT YOU HAVEN'T WORKED OUT SO STOP #FITFORLYFE
    • Guys who get on the rower/cross trainer machine RIGHT NEXT TO YOU when there's a million vacant ones...then proceed to up their levels so they are *just* faster/harder than you. S'ok man...I'm pretty fit, I can do this all day. See how great you are in 5 minutes when you can't sustain it or breathe because you don't understand the concept of intense interval training SEE YA
    • Grunters. If you have to make sex/pig/angry noises then it's either too damn heavy or you're attention seeking. I'm not saying it's a library in here, but is there any real NEED to grunt like you're pushing a 10 stone bowel movement on every damn lift/squat/cycle? No.

    What I LOVE at the gym is people who develop their own personal exercises. Oooh days. Have been known to have to run for the loo to do wees with laughter.

    Chatty dude who claims a weight bench, does one set, then chats up his buddies for 20 minutes.
    The girl who only wears workout pants and a sports bra. It's not that hot in here. Put on a shirt!

    Personally, i don't sweat much lifting weights. I do all the big lifts and push myself, its just not a pace that makes me sweat. However, if i do cardio i will drip sweat all over the place! Im kind of jealous of those who sweat while lifting

    MY gym is just lack of free weights. Lack of barbells only 3. lack of 45s only 8. They still have old weights that are 44s not 45.
