I wish my gym had a ban on ___________

Tights are not pants. There is a huuuuuuuuge difference between tights and yoga leggings. That difference being: me not seeing your vajayjay. Oh lawd....I have seen things.

Mostly just peeved today because I didn't realize gyms were pants optional.

ban girls that put no effort into their workouts but still look better than me!!!....rrrrrr

^^ This! Lol!

I can't stand the girls that walk around in their cute little outfits that walk for 30 min and then go eat burger king and don't gain a pound. I hate genetics!

genetics has very little to do with weight and weight loss and gain. It mostly comes down to lifestyle (how active you are and how much you eat) this is of course if you don't have any hormonal issues such as hypothyroidism among others.

In general weight comes down to 80% diet, 10% activity, 10% genetics

I get that diet is a big part of it. I have a friend at work who I talk to about this all the time. For 2 yrs we did the same workouts weekly and she would sit at her desk and eat oreos, cheetos, etc and I would eat grapes, carrots, etc and she wouldn't gain a pound while I struggled to lose even .5 lb. She seems to be 'naturally' thin while I have to put 110% effort into it. So unfair!

People taking the middle of three machines. :mad:

I am so curious what is annoying about this? Seriously, not being snarky here just perplexed! Do tell.

my thoughts exactly. They may like that machine better for a variety of reasons. I usually pick my machine (if I have the option) based on position to the fan (I like it blowing on me to help keep me somewhat cool).

Sometimes when you start working out, the middle machine is the only one open because others have taken the machines on either end (after all, most people love their space and would probably give someone the stink eye if they jumped on the machine next to us if there was another one open). The other members' workouts end and you're in the middle of no one.

the groups of 21 year olds that use the express circuit machines as their after school hang out. Not working out, just laying on the machines posing.

BURN A CALORIE YOU LAZY MINORS!

Totally with you on this one! Get the F*&$# outta the gym if you're not going to work out!

LOL!

The goons in the men's locker room who slam our wooden lockers that don't need to be slammed. The 'noise pollution' nearly snaps my eardrums. Now if we were still in HS, where you had to slam your locker to get the locking mechanism to engage, I'd get it. But sold wood on to solid wood? Easy there, Godzilla.

People who wear jeans to work out ... for some reason it irks me. Usually they aren't really working out very hard anyway.

That annoys me too.... Really anyone working out in NON-workout clothes. It's just...weird!

People who take up residence on the circuit machines.

This may get some "likes" too, but what about the weekend warriors who don't understand the, "May I work in with you" concept? I notice that at night and on the weekends, the real novices come in and after one set, literally sit on their bench/cybex machine, or whatever, while you're standing there waiting to work in. What the heck? Get up, rerack your weight (yet another bannable offense), and let me get to it. OMGosh, if you need to sit there to recover from a set of dumbell curls with 15lbs each, please stay downstairs in the child-center... Just sayin.

That's why I do my weights at home. I just started a month ago and just got to 15lbs and I'm not about to take up space in the weight room for my dinky workouts. I'd rather wait until I get to a higher number when I'll need the equipment and not just a dumbbell I can buy from any store.

I wish my gym had a ban on...wearing makeup.

I hate being the only bummy-looking bare-face girl there. but at least I know my workout isn't going to cause me a breakout!

I hear you, clearly you are not there to work out if you have that much make up on. The gym is not a place to meet a mate, you are there to exercise, and that doesn't look pretty if you do it right.

That's absolutely not true. I go to the gym straight after work and do not take the time to take off my make-up. That doesn't mean I am not there to work out. I take pride in how I look, whether it be at the gym, grocery store, work, etc. I also think I look DAMN "pretty" when I work out, thank you very much. & I sweat A LOT.

P.S. I also don't break out from wearing make-up to the gym. Let's try and remember that everyone is different.Thanks.

+ 1.

People next to me on the treadmill or the elliptical that feel the need to look at my machine. Keep track of your own workouts, and not mine. K thnx

Women walking naked all over the locker room just for fun.

There is a woman who is easy 350lbs..she is ALWAYS naked drying her hair when I come in. She sits on the stool and dries her hair with a hand towel over the front of her..um, has she seen the back of her? Im not skinny or better off, but come on, It goes without fail..once I saw her walking in, so I thought I would get in the lockeroom to go to the bathroom, she came out freakin naked..I swear..does she do this to irritate me?

Guys hitting on you while you're trying to lift weights. Like dude it's 5 am and I'm not here to mingle. Pleaseeeeee go away. And the creepy ones keep doing it time after time. Eff off :mad:
