There as this old guy; about 70 who would go up to the hand dryer naked and spread his b*tt cheeks to get his rectal cavity a blow job...
Urrrghhh that's not something you forget.
People can be so inconsiderate and uncouth0 -
When people use the stair climber as a table to hold their notebook, pen, water, phone, etc. My gym's owner is the worst offender. I have to move his crap every. darn. time.0

People sniffing the seats after spin class.
Okay, I haven't actually seen anyone do this.5 -
Overweight personal trainers.14

Taking way too much time on a machine - doing a rep or two and sitting there for 10 minutes before doing another rep or two. And inconsiderate women in the locker room - take up too much space, etc.5

Do a set then spend 10 minutes flexing and checking themselves out. Doing there set right in front of the dumbell rack,so u have to wait for them to finish to rack or grab your weights. And being oblivious to there surroundings while yapping on there phone.6

High school kids doing bottle flips. The constant banging noise drives me nuts. I listen to my 11 yo do it at home but at the gym - really, this is where grown ups hang out.1

People in the wrong swimming lane.
Young men who aggressively try to use the punchbag after I've started using it. They don't even talk to me. Just try to hit me in the face with it. What their issues are, I do not know.3 -

I was ranting about this this morning! asked one guy to change lanes in the end as he was holding up 6 people in the fast lane due to flailing and lack of etiquette at the ends.
His reply 'sorry I misread the lane sign' (it does say 'slow lane' on the other side facing away from the pool - stupid signs I know)
But ok, so you mis-read it. You then decided to stay swimming in a lane where you were clearly holding everyone up for 15mins until asked to move?!! wtf?!?
and the lifeguards are useless as hell!
it really bugs me when people don't look behind them when pushing off though. Just a glance, see if someone is right there and let them past if they are. Guy ruined my 'constant swim' this morning as I had to wait for him to get down the pool before following else I'd have caught up and had to do breaststroke!
argh! rant over! lol1 -

There is a huge difference between teaching technique and honing skills in a sport as opposed to teaching health and fitness. That is why Bill Bellichick is not the strength and conditioning coach of the Patriots.
I am a trainer.....my body is my billboard that says yes, I buy into everything I'm expecting you to do. Any trainer who expects to push a client out of their comfort zone will get severe push back from them if the trainer appears to have not done so themselves. It's important to knowledgeable in what you are doing of course, but it holds more water to the client when the going gets tough that their trainer has actually put that knowledge into practical application.
So yeah, fat trainers are actually not very complete trainers.
I have a friend who is a Pilate's instructor. she is the strongest person I know and an incredible instructor, she knows everything but she suffers depression an medicates with food so is a larger gal. So her body isn't a good advertisement but once she starts showing exercises it becomes one.
I also have another friend who is round...a national level squash player and personal trainer. she anither crazy strong person. I guess the old adage...never judge a book by its cover can be applied here6
