Hate the gym - go for a lovely run outside instead :laugh:0

OMG, people quit sweating the small stuff. the only thing I hate is the old guys walking around the lacker room with their long old balls swinging around. YUK!! HAHA
Hahaha... I don't think people are really THAT annoyed but it is the small niggles they're highlighting! Doesn't stop us going right!?0 -
Guys that hurl weights down after using them. To quote my PT "if you are strong enough to lift them, you are strong enough to put them down properly".
Women who leave rolled up balls of hair in the shower cubicles.
Used towels left on the benches in the changing room.
My own stinky trainers. Nothing seems to be able to kill the smell *sigh* need to get new washable trainers.0 -
After reading these posts, it makes me even happier that I workout at home..0

Ok, and no one has mentioned this, and it annoys the *kitten* out of me, and I don't know why they do it, it's a running joke with my husband, so maybe someone will answer this...
I've seen multiple guys at the gym who walk around chewing on their towels!!! Seriously gnawing away!! WTF?0 -
People using multiple piece of equipment at once, and moving between them. Sorry, I'm not going to wait 15 minutes to squat just because you read somewhere that circuit training is the only way to get fit. There are actually multiple people at my gym who do this! I have to stop them every time.
The gym I work out at has a circuit training zone so that you don't have to worry about people doing that on the regular equipment.
Nothing really irks me at my gym, everyone is pretty courteous and whatnot.0 -
I don't think anything really annoys me...
Just to point something out... There are a lot of people that come from work to work out. So if they have their hair perfect and make up perfect, that may be why. But the teens, I feel do it just to flirt, lol.0 -
people who go to socialise, fair enough if you keep out the way but standing around equipment is a big hate! also, people that know me who decide they want to stand around chatting about the good old days, I have earphones in and I may sound un polite but I get to the point where I cut people off and say Im cooling down so I need to get back training0

The only thing that really bothers me is women who walk around naked in the locker room. I know people have already said this but It's really the only thing. I just always think to myself "i'm glad you're comfortable in your own skin but you're making me uncomfortable".0

I actually first experienced this last night! It was a late saturday night workout, so the place wasnt that busy....However, their was a girl on her cell phone the ENTIRE 40 minutes she was walking on the treadmil!! It was really annoying!0

If done to failure, is it better to drop or to injure yourself?0 -
I actually quit going to the gym years ago because of a comment someone made to me. I had JUST begun my weight loss journey and was at the gym for the first time. This lady walks up to me while I was trying to remember how to use one of the machines (the thigh thingy) and says "You really should try something else...this isn't made for people YOUR size!" Seriously?!?!?! The machines here are made for people EXACTLY like me...not people like you who are only there show off your bought and paid for boobs! (Sorry, it brought back bad memories:ohwell: )
And yes, people....wipe down your bench when you're done...you're disgusting!0 -
2 things bother me
not wiping the machines off
guys offering lifting advice while I am lifting weights. It is always the same guys offering help to the ladies. I am good, thank you very much so back off. :grumble:0 -
Oh, and I forgot one more thing (See what you started?!) The gym I used to go to offered a personal trainer for the first three times you went to help you get started. After that...you're on your own...EVEN if you forget how to use something or have a question about the proper way to use a piece of equipment....I mean, I pay my membership on time, you can answer a question for me!0
-
When the person next to me on a cardio machine has their music coming out of their headphones so loud that I can tell what song they are listening to AND I also have to turn my music up so that I don't hear theirs.... Seriously... they are going to be deaf by the time they are 50.0

Dear Gym People - RE-RACK YOUR FREAKING WEIGHTS!!!!
Sometimes I walk over and start re-racking other people weights where they can see me do it. I hate when people leave items they use around, like 3 year olds!0 -
the thing that annoys me the most, is people that complain0
-
this is why I don't go to the gym.
SAME!!!! XD0 -
let me first say, I have three kids, so its not that I am hating on kids...
BUT I Hate it when people bring their kids. let them run the skinny narrow indoor track. get on the machines. drop their pre teens and teens off at the Y like its a social hangout! DRIVES me bananas. :smokin:0
