    Brought your handbag into the weights room.
    Full face of makeup.
    1 set, update your facebook status on your iphone, next machine.

    I'm guilty of the makeup thing - but I go to the gym right after work, and I wear makeup to work. Weekend gym seshes = clean face.

    This too.

    Person who hangs out on a bench while chatting and occasionally lifting a 5 pound weight.

    Guys & girls who wear cologne... I'd rather smell your sweat!

    Singing or dancing on the treadmill.. yes I have seen it! You can't sing and you certainly can't dance!

    I don't know what I'm doing in a gym... So I qualify as a gym idiot :)

    You are so not alone!!!! I have to basically stalk a few people to learn the machines and the free weights. :)

    I used to drink a giant gatorade right after doing cardio, I'm glad I kicked THAT habit.

    A gym idiot is when you're at the gym during peak hours and you "claim" the power rack by putting your water bottle and baseball cap down in front of it while you go off and spot some other dude for 10 minutes.

    Ohhh I HATE the girls who come to the gym looking like they are at a damn night club, Hair all curled and makeup on, tiny little tanktop with no sportsbra. I go to the gym to work my *kitten* off and expect to look like crap doing so

    I've spotted a girl who has started coming to the Combat Class I do. She wears low cut velour tracksuit bottoms with diamante words on the back, a tiny crop top, full face of make-up, fake tan, hair extensions......and she can't even do "jab-cross" properly. Looks ridiculous.

    The version of "Gym Idiot" I encounter is when trying to job on the track.

    Hating on people who try to job on the track? Everybody's gotta make money somehow.
    You win! Beat me to it! :tongue:

    There are only two types of people that really make me cringe, and one type that makes me chuckle to myself.

    Cringe #1 - the person casually walking on the eliptical next to me talking loudly into their cell phone. Please remove yourself from the gym, especially if I can hear you over my headphones.

    Cringe #2 - the guy who wants to impress everyone by loading down his bar wtih weights and then lets the weights or machine jerk him around because he's not strong enough to really lift those weights. Dude you're about to hurt yourself in a bad way.

    Chuckle - the guy or gal staring at other members of the opposite sex and not paying attention to what they are doing, causing them to trip over something and fall or make a general comedic event occur due to not paying attention at all to what's in front of them.

    This is when I "unclaim" it by moving it.

    ETA: (Yeah, JJ is that chick. But you probably already knew that.)

    The guy with little 14" biceps who holds his arms a foot away from his body like his massive lats are forcing him to walk that way. Like a balloon under each arm.

    What is the purpose of wearing perfume on the treadmill? One night I had to walk to the other side of the gym to get away from this one woman. I was able to smell her 5 minutes before seeing her.

    At least at my gym, guys do not seem to be bad working out, but the smell of AXE body spray emitting from the locker room could choke a hooker.

    Sp1nG:

    i hate those chicks who do that just so they can check out the guys in the gym, my exhusband is that guy who takes a shower before and drenches himself with cologne!!! and I have to admit, I have been caught occasionally singing and dancing on the ARC machine. I just can't keep my mouth shut to some songs. ;)

    inconsiderate people who do not wipe their sweat off the seats, seriously??!?

    This seriously gets to me!! People that DRIP in puddles all over the floor and all over the machine and then just WALK AWAY without even so much as a quick wipe over....it really upsets me! :grumble:

    I forgot about the Jersey Shore guys who wink at themselves in the mirror while they are lifting and point to themselves in the mirror in between sets. Or the guys who lift their shirts up and take pictures of their abs to show off to facebook / the dating site they are on to show their worth.

    That last one is probably more jealousy ;)
