    Men or women who insist on wearing what smells like sex panther perfume. You're at the gym lady, not a brothel, go shower that *kitten* off, and also, thanks for the sinus headache.

    This^^^ and old men who wear really tight/short shorts. Ug, no one wants to see your hairy white thighs or wrinkled old man bits.

    2 things I hate..

    When someone is using the weight machines that you want to use but they stop between sets and sit on their cell phone. Like, you don't actually mean to take a 2 minute break do you?? UGH!

    I don't typically do this on machines, but when I am lifting 80%+ of my max I take up to 5 minutes in between sets AND I record my progress in an app on my phone.

    When theres an entire line of treadmills/whatever else open and somebody just HAS to take the one immediately next to you.


    Some people are just creatures of habit. There's an elliptical at my gym that I always use whenever it's available, even if there's someone next to the other one.

    Not when someone lets you work in. I mean when someone clings dearly do the machine in between his 10 sets

    When people don't clear up the plates, bars or dumbbells that they've used, even though there is a sign at the gym to put everything away after use. It's not a big gym either, so plates scattered everywhere is a hazard. I don't want to spend my gym time clearing up weights!

    On Saturday morning, one of the personal trainers actually put the dumbbells he used next to the dumbbell rack when he was finished. After I had my shower, it was completely empty and everything was everywhere, so I ended up clearing things away *sigh*

    I wear earphones at the gym so the grunting/dropping weights/mindless chatter doesn't bother me. What does bug me are people who don't return dumbells to the rack and those who remove all of them because they are somehow using all of them at the same time. My gym programme is built around short rest periods and bursts of high activity so having to keep tracking down the equipment I need before I can get on with my exercises is counter productive.

    One more thing... the chick that wears the shorts... the ones where myself and the rest of the gym has seen her hooha more than once...

    I just saw this today at the YMCA... I was in the locker room getting dressed and a girl walked past me and I could see the bottom of her buns! I don't think I've ever seen shorts so tight or short before... I hope she realized it and knows she can't bend over in those without showing everything!

    Of course she realizes it, that's why she wears them. and then she'll complain loudly about how she can't stand having dudes look at her donk. And before you all jump down my throat saying the guys should avert their eyes what the heck do you expect from dudes when your a$$cheeks are hanging out?

    A lady was touring the gym yesterday and she had her little boy with her. Little man stood there and watched me on the treadmill for a good five straight minutes. It was actually starting to creep me out. He didn't even blink. lol
    Now imagine a grown creepy man doing that! :fearful:
    Young boy in training, this is where it starts. At young age.

    Have you come across people who keep hogging the machine? Constantly playing on their phone. People who sweat a lot, leaving marks on the machine? Folks, share your experience..

    My pet peeve is people who bring their kids with them and let them "play" on the nearby machines while they work out.

    A lot of the complaints on this make me laugh, while also making me really appreciate my gym.

    There is one guy who shows up in jeans and a jacket, and works out in them every time, without even unzipping the jacket. I don't believe said jacket has ever been washed. I don't even know if the DUDE has ever been washed. It's like... you can almost see the cartoon type wavy stink lines coming off of him. X( WHEW.

    That is nasty. Wearing jacket and training, that will give a headache due to heat. Maybe thats the only clothes he has.
