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.0 -
Other people!
EDIT: But that's just cos I'm really self-conscious - I run like an idiot so I only ever power-walk and use the incline on a treadmill, because I'm scared of a) falling and being laughed at, and b) people laughing at me
One of my big pet peeves is when people just sit on a machine, not doing anything - not even facing the right way - just talking to their friend for an hour!0 -
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!0 -

People who wear jeans to work out ... for some reason it irks me. Usually they aren't really working out very hard anyway.
I wish my gym had a bad on people who don't wipe down the equipment after using it. It is becoming worse and worse (it has only been open a few months) and I have taken to wiping down my equipment before and after I use it.0 -
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.0 -
socialization!0

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!0 -
high school cheerleaders who stand around and chat for an hour. loudly.0

Fill in the blank!
(For me it's dudes who slam the weights down in the weight room)
For me its when people complain when i slam down the weight in a last ditch effort to save me from getting hurt. I control the weight, but if something goes wrong when I'm doing Olympic lifts, I will disregard your need to have a quite gym and only consider my safety.0 -
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.0

people who sit on the equipment and socialize more then working out0

That annoys me too.... Really anyone working out in NON-workout clothes. It's just...weird!0 -

Couldn't care less, dropping weights and grunting/flexing in mirrors just to look at yourself should be banned. If you can't lift and lower the weight safely then your lifting too much.
I'm on board with the others who've said something to the same effect. No saying I don't care if you get hurt but I do care when people are loud to that point that it bothers my concentration in a shared environment.0 -
People who take up residence on the circuit machines.0

Rude people... I once picked a treadmill no where near anyone and turned on and pointed a fan directly at me ( i like a breeze lol)... with 10 other open treadmills and older lady ( like 70 years) went to the treadmill right next to me, and then left to turn off my fan lol... I didn't even know what to say! I just finished my workout and left... how can you yell at someone as old as your grandma lol0

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.0

People who bring their laptops (mine has free wifi for members) and do their online classes there with the volume turned up all the way instead of using headphones.0

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.0 -
people who don't re-rack their weights!
GRRRRR I hate that!!! I think there should be a ban on B.O. there was a guy on the eliptical and there was an open machine on either side of him because he STANK!!!!0 -
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.

For me, it's not a particular set of people or actions... but I'm really irked by the showers that at first appear pretty nice and suddenly become disgusting when you realize there's a clump of hair that's been sitting atop the drain for... like... weeks. Makes me question the cleanliness of the whole place and I feel like retching (other people's hair does that to me; don't know why). For goodness' sake, gyms, clean your showers.0

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 thnx0

Obviously you've never tried hard. Come back to me when you can ATG squat 2x your body weight with out making a sound. Come back to me when you can perform a perfect oly snatch EVERY.SINGLE.TIME. Dude not even the people in the Olympics perform their lifts perfect every time and have to ditch the bar. Grow up and realize that some people have different lifting goals than you.0 -
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:0
