Others talking for 20 minutes while leaning on a station you're waiting for & still claiming they're using it.... Shhhh0

They have been seen to.....One will get on the rowing machine the other will straddle across it n they,ll kiss everytime the "rower" slides forward!?
Or they,ll just take up the Low rower weights bench n face each other ??
Nooo please tell me not
I,m afraid its true! the Lat pulldown machine is directly opposite the Low Row so You cant use it n spot in the mirror without having to look directly at them #VOM0 -
Texting instead of using the macchine, or simply resting for wayyyy to long on a machine.... use a bench if you want to rest, i want to get it done and get out!
Rests depends on many things though. If they are resting for ten minutes I understand but sometimes people rest longer when they are going heavier.
I agree though, I'm the same way. I want in and out the gym in preferably 45mins0 -
On a treadmill and a guy who smells like they have not taken a bath in weeks gets on a treadmill next to you and you have to move to another one to have fresh air.1

When the cardio area is pretty much empty, and someone gets on the machine right next to you. It fills me with so much rage. I'll literally get off my machine and use another one. But I'm an asocial person, so.

People who watch my whole work out or make rude/suggestive comments. There's a reason I go at 4.30 in the morning into the empty group fitness room now!0

The only one I have now is that one guy who wants to talk to everyone and hold up their routines. I'm sorry to hear about your surgery for but this conversation has been going on for 15 minutes now and I need to lift.
When I first went into the gym the hole grunting and dropping weights use to annoy me, but I have gotten use to it. I figured some people are noisy when working out, kinda like sex. So whatever gets you gains. Also, some of my exercises I need to drop the weight because either I run the risk of hurting myself trying to put them down slowly so you feel comfortable or exercises like farmers walk I am going until I cannot hold the weights any longer (i.e. dropping the weights). But if I can put the weight down gently without hurting myself I will.

My biggest pet peeve is when there is someone just chilling so close to a machine that I cannot use it. There is a lobby in my gym, use it if you aren't working out!0

Yeah that's an epidemic everywhere now! I had one girl next to me having a Facetime conversation and the whole gym was invited!0 -
Not putting weights back in correct order or at all, sweating all over equipment and leaving it, hogging machines, talking on or playing on your damn phone, not being courteous at all and the list goes on and on lol0

I usually ask those people if they're using that machine. Works like a charm, as they get the hint and move.
I don't think most people who do this are intentionally being rude, they're just not paying attention.1 -

See? That is the problem with people! MOVE THEIR *kitten*! LOL!
That is, of course, after asking them if they are still using that machine. I always include the word "still" as that sends the right message. If they say, "No!" then I ask if I can work in! I do that as I am sitting down at the machine. That sends the right message, too! :-)0 -

That's the one! Dibs is not a thing -- you're either on the equipment or off it
I find this one interesting. There are always two sides to every coin....sometimes there are hawks...guys standing around, just waiting for a machine to become available and you get up and five seconds later they are on it...and don't bother to ask if you are finished, they just try to take over (HA! that does not work out so well for them)...and then there are the guys (usually, but not exclusively) who go to the water fountain and talk to everyone in the gym along the path...in both directions!
Just be kind! That is all I suggest. Being kind to each other works so much better!0 -
Not reracking the weights and texting in between sets0
