    Women walking around in the buff...especially in the sauna! HOW RUDE!

    It's not rude to be naked in a sauna. As a matter of fact many gyms ban clothes in the sauna. It's perfectly normal to be clothed or unclothed (whatever your preference) in the sauna.

    I finally understand that commercial with the "I lift things up and put them down". I had honestly been so confused lol!

    I also wish my gym had a ban on using cell phones in the exercise rooms! I don't particularly want to hear your conversations. Take it outside!

    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

    Sorry, I just had to see if I was being lame and I have to step it up...LOL! Guilty

    Yup. If you get on the machine next to me, we are now competing. :laugh:

    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.

    Agreed! Even at home (currently back with the parents and older brother, who has long hair) I can't bring myself to touch drain hair!


    EDIT: Also, I feel like I should apologise in case I do something that others want to "ban"! -- I'm a starer. Not intentionally but I just tend to phase out and it seems that I'm staring at you or your machine, I'm really not, I'm just in a bit of a daze and actually staring right through you! I am trying to work on it but for now, I'm sorry!!

    Fill in the blank!

    (For me it's dudes who slam the weights down in the weight room)



    You should try Planet Fitness gym, they literally do have a ban on people who slam weights! They even have an alarm called the "Lunk alarm" that you can set off whenever you see someone doing it. :laugh:

    That's hilarious. :') Might request a "Lunk alarm" button for mine, as doing that seems to be the "new thing." :explode:

    people who don't re-rack their weights!

    I have to agree! Sometimes racking their weights is more workout than I originally intended! ;)

    nothing really bothers me except for perfume. and its the older people perfume that im talking about. older people seem to wear a more pungent/sharp type of perfume. does the sense of smell degrade over time? is that why?

    guys wearing short shorts with no under garments.... I've seen more than my fair share of danglies

    and people wearing white without undergarments... do people not realize that when they sweat you can see right through their clothes?

    Would love to find one of those gyms in our area, alas there aren't any but I love the concept.

    Chatty teeny-boppers in a group that stand behind me in a group exercise class, don't work out, yell "I can't do this!!!" and talk non-stop, so all I can hear is them and not the instructor. :explode:

    People having loud phone conversations while you are trying to get your work out, so loud you have to turn up the sound on your i pod to hear your own music.
