1. not wiping down machines when you're done! UGH. so gross.
2. trying to be sneaky and looking at my phone when i'm watching netflix on the treadmill, and then making a "WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING?!" face (usually i'm watching a true crime show - first 48, crime 360)
3. hogging machines when people are obviously waiting their turn...0 -
I just have one, and It's only happened to me once. This guy started singing OUT LOUD to his ipod on the machine next to me. It was ridiculous and sooo off key. Why does he think anyone wants to hear that?! I politely asked him to stop.0
-
1- YES! I hate this!
2- When people talk so loudly that I can hear them on the other end of the treadmills
3- Singing out loud to their music
4- Popping gum
5- Wiping down machines...NOT!0 -
Only one thing bothers me.... ppl that complain on here constantly about what ppl at the gym are doing or not doing that bugs them. I hit the gym, I get in a zone and I'm in my own world, I don't notice anyone around me so I have no complaints.
I have a hand towel, I wipe a machine before I use it and again after, long time habit, it doesn't slow me down and there are so many other things in life I could be thinking about besides others that bug me at the gym.
The gym is no different than on here, something bugs you and you move on, something bugs you and you blow it off and find something else to do... :::Shrugs:::
Not worth our time to whine about everything that bothers us, we'd be whining all the time if we let every little thing get to us and have no time left to workout. ;o)0 -
- people with really strong scents (perfume, cigarettes...)
- people talking on the phone while on the elliptical or treadmill. REALLY?!
That's about it. I could do without seeing naked ladies in the locker room but that kind of goes with the territory, lol...0 -
people who wear perfume to the gym, when they sweat it just gets stronger
girls who wear make up to the gym...WTH really why??? I go to the gym to sweat not look pretty
girls who wear booty shorts and sports bra...please stop
Guys who grease up their muscles
guys who grease up their muscles then look at my *kitten* when I am doing dead lifts......creepy!
People who go to the gym to be social, i dont so please dont talk to me
people who save machines for other people when those other people dont show up for like 30 minutes0 -
1. I hate it when guys are lifting weights and they have to grunt constantly out loud, I'm like ok Mr Big Muscles everyone has been disturbed and now are watching you. Are you happy? LOL0

1) people who say my shoes are weird.... (vibram five fingers are not weird.. just super cool)
2) people who come to the gym in FLIP FLOPS and proceed to workout in FLIP FLOPS
3) people who just stand by the lockers chit chatting.... uhmmmm HELLO I NEED TO GET MY WATER!!!! MOVE IT!
4) people that breathe so heavy it's as if they're lifting cars or something.. ( and to the guy who whistles the andy griffith theme SHUT IT!!)
5) people that bring food to the gym.. and not healthy food... MC DONALDS AND BURGER KING... defeating the purpose much?!?!?!
*********** just got back from the gym so I'm a little amped up hahaa***********
where was I .. oh yeah
6) girls that wear their entire collection of makeup to the gym.... NO BODY CARES WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE WHEN YOU'RE SWEATING your butt off... leave the fake eyelashes and 2 tons of eyeliner at home!!!!!
7) ^^ and to add to that, girls that wear skimpy *kitten* clothes to the gym... and you get MAD when the guys talk about you?? you're just feeding the fire!!!!
8) If you are a femal (**warning... may be disgusting**) freaking be aware of your feminine hygeine no one wants to smell your tuna after you've used the hip ab/adduction machine!
9) keep your kids under control! or don't bring them at all... the gym is NOT a jungle gym playground to jump all over .... geez I saw a kid almost fall off of the assisted dip/pull up machine.
10) IF YOU GO TO THE GYM, DON'T DO A SISSY *kitten* workout... stay for more that 10 minutes... maybe you could actually get a decent workout..
maybe this was more of a rant than anything hahhaaaa
have a good night.0 -
women who wear makeup while working out....and usually dont break a sweat...and the ones who do look like tramps, its a gym not some dating mixer....0
-
OK, people don't think women should wear make-up to the gym, but I go right after work....I have make-up. I agree, no reason to put it on just to go to the gym, but I do have it on when I starte working out...it's gone by the end of the workout and all over my towel instead.0

So....I started to vent about my gym pet peeves, and very quickly the venting turned into something entirely different. lol So I'm just going to leave that one alone.0
-
There's a bunch of stuff that happens at the gym that I think is dumb, but these ones are my peeves because I feel like they affect me (or maybe I *let* them affect me)...
1. People who wear perfume/cologne. It makes me want to puke.
2. People who will get on the treadmill/eliptical right next to mine when there are a ton available. I like my space.
3. People who grunt loudly when they're doing weights.
4. People who talk on the phone on the treadmill.
5. People who play the TV on the treadmill without using headphones.
6. People with strong BO. Also makes me want to puke.0 -

don't sit in someone else's butt sweat while you're not paying attention.0 -
1. someone who does not wipe their sweat off of the benches/equipment. (yucko.....there are signs everywhere at the gym where i work out....they keep lysol everywhere so you cant forget)
2. i have to admit that i sometimes forget to restack the weights myself =(...but i shall do better=)
3. someone who uses the tv for music (to watch videos, etc.) and then leaves it at a blaring volume.....it scares me to death..hehe0 -

leaving butt sweat behind is legit too come on... it's butt sweat. (and this thread is for humor's sake)0 -

Amen to that.0 -
I hate it when certain females get to the aerobics/group ex. room 30 minutes early for a class simply so they can claim "their spot" on the floor. And then they get all pissy when the class turns out to be fairly large and they, oh no, have to scoot over to make room for others. I like to get reeeeally close to these people during Turbo Kick, for example, so they can smell the dirt on the bottom of my shoes during side kicks and eventually slide over to make room. As long as you are working out, WTF difference does it make where you start out standing on the floor???
I also hate it when certain people finish one set on a machine, and then just sit there on the machine until it is time to do their next set while it is obvious that there are other people wanting to use it. Can't you rest while standing and allow someone else to do a set and take turns?
And there always seems to be a group of immature males who poke fun at others who aren't as fit. I've heard them talking before... "they're only lifting 20 pounds" or "why is that fatty even bothering to use a treadmill when he looks like he's going to fall over" and much much worse. But yet those immature males aren't even sweating or working out! They do like 1 horribly heavy set of something to show off, then nothing else, just to make it look like they are really strong when in reality they are doing the exercise with bad form or whatever...
And the butt sweat has got to go, lol.0 -
1. Girls that won't remove their headphones and chat with me.
2. People that get all "annoyed" just cuz I didn't restack my weights or wipe my sweaty butt print off the bench.
3. Gals that go running to the Management everytime you pay them a little flirtatious compliment. Would it be so hard to just say thank you when I comment on your obvious success in reshaping your fine body?0 -
I hate it when people turn up to the spin class 10 minutes early and set up their bike and just sit there.
some sit there and chat
some sit there and stare at the front of the room
seriously, if you've got 10 minutes spare, just start moving your damn legs idiot!!!
if i get there 3 minutes early, my heart rate is up into the 140's by the time the warm up starts, may as well burn a few more calories while i'm just waiting huh?0 -
