That person in the gym that either sings outloud or dances while working out on weights or machines.
Lol, today the guy was trying to rock out Marvin Gaye's "Let's get it on".

    If I were to go to a gym that person would be me. Why don't I listen to music as I run??? Cause I dance

    I just tune them out. Too much effort to moan about minor things. I am sure their things I do that annoy other people, but as long as it doesn't hurt me, I don't care.

    Ugh. How about some etiquette people. I hate when people are not considerate of others

    Used to have a guy who came in and DANCED on the treadmill during his workout, banging his hands like it was a drum set, skipping. I thought it was really entertaining and made the time go faster than if I was just watching tv. :D He didn't sing tho. Mental image, he wore old school short, short running shorts, head band, and tank top.

    Lol, actually I don't mind. It's just when they sing off tune or monotone, it sometimes throws off my focus. I end up laughing to myself uncontrollably.

    There is a guy like that at my gym, but he's easily into his 70s, if not older, and I think it makes him a bit of a legend. He sings Sinatra. It's aweseome!

    I don't mind some dancing- that's fine....enjoy your workout. What I don't like is what this one guy does at my gym- he tries to show off for a couple of girls and starts trying to dance on the treadmill. I'm hoping secretly that he falls and busts his azz

    I'm definitely that person. I dance (sort of) while I lift, and sing while I run, and pretty much try to have a good time while I workout. This is also the reason why I workout at home and go trail running with my dog, cause he doesn't mind my terrible singing and weird dance moves lol.

    Not at the gym, but at work the floor above us is being refurbished. One of the tradies was working on the ladies bathroom and sang at the top of his lungs all day, it being clearly audibe in our bathroom. Serenaded while toileting FTW!

    I had to actively concentrate to NOT be that guy. When my mind wandered, I would find myself starting to sing...

    Next time please take a video ! Lol anyway yes my gym had a very loud singer who would often sing Whitney Houston's songs ! Lol the management had to ask her to be a little softer because it was disrupting others. I personally liked it because I would crack up laughing the entire time !!
