just curious. I'm very much a creature of habit. so when someone is on 'my' elliptical or 'my' recumbent bike, etc., I find myself thrown off a bit. am I the only one that has a go-to machine?

    The squat rack is "my" machine, anyone that disrespects her power gets a mean look from across the room.

    The treadmill in the far corner, next to the window. If anyone is on it they get stared at til they realise the error of their ways !!! :devil:

    Yep, I would get annoyed when someone is on "mine"

    I have been doing other things besides the gym so I don't have this issue anymore but YEP!

    Defenitly the squat rack. I think I'm the only person I've seen at my gym that uses it. Never seen anyone do a single deadlift at all.

    I habitually go to the end machine. I hate having to be in the middle, especially if I have a person on each side of me

    I definitely have 1 treadmill at my apartment complex gym that is my "go-to" and I really don't like it when I have to use one of the other two. However, I tend to run at the same time of day during the week and usually no one is in the gym at that time so it doesn't happen too often

    You are not the only one! There are only so many bikes for our spin class - I always use 1 of 2...we are all usuals in the class and we all have 'our' bikes and it works out perfectly. I get this almost embarrassing rage when someone new comes to the class and takes one of 'my' bikes haha! Since New Years (resolutioners!) I've had to keep going earlier and earlier to get the bike I want...which is fine, but the class is at 5:45 am haha it's getting brutal.

    YES! There aren't that many treadmills or ellipticals at our gym, but the treadmill second from the window and the elliptical next to the stationary bike are both mines.. I just never paid for them is all. Whenever someone else is using either machine (depending on which of the two I am trying to use at that moment), I feel all kinds of thrown off... then I have to suck it up and use the others and it just doesn't feel natural. *shudders*
