I can't work out because of my....

I used to live on the 3rd floor of an apartment. My initial downstairs neighbors were jerks. They called the cops and told them there was a domestic disturbance in my apartment when all I was doing was moving in a table and chairs. Cops showed up and asked if they could come in I said, "Sure and you can help take the foam wrapping off these chair legs too." They just shook their heads and left. I know they complained to the mgmt several times too. Eventually they moved. People that moved in after them were much nicer and didn't complain but this guys lady was a screamer at times. So glad I don't live in an apartment building.

I work several nights a week (11p-7a). So on days I actually sleep regular people hours, I would be super mad if an upstairs neighbor woke my 10 month old up earlier than usual and either she or the neighbor woke ME up too. Also, When I am home during the day, it is EVER so nice around noon or one o get a cranky baby down for a nap for peace and quiet….or a nap of my own. I resent being forced to give that up, too. Or, if I have to sleep during the day because of a night shift.

My upstairs neighbor has a right to exercise, but not if it infringes on my relaxation in my own home. Saying that, I would have gone upstairs and talked to the neighbor. Not banged on the ceiling. However, in my experience with apartments, the neighbor who is loud usually doesn’t give a flying flip and will do what they please. So I hope you are a better neighbor than that

Tell your neighbor that your Parole officer told you that the P90x workout will help curb your violent tendencies towards other people. Then say, "I wished i had started it at the last apartment where I lived....I really do have remorse for that poor guy...but anyway, I'm still trying..... " Then say, "im sorry, what were we talking about again?"....

hahhaaa loove it

This is why I've never lived in an apartment complex.

Some of us have no choice....

Anyways my neighbor upstairs is always banging around and stomping. Im thinking she might be working out but who knows. Usually she does it when we are watching a movie, at a reasonable time I think we should be able to watch tv. We have surround sound so it can get loud but it's not like its 1 in the morning or something. Anyways if she's gonna be immature about it I will continue to do what im doing until she can either confront me herself or tell the office and they tell me. This girl lives alone with her dog and is so rude, took a few months for her to actually make eye contact with me and say hi...just talk to them about it

What is the best way to confront them and ask them to stop being childish and just let me work out for an hour a day!?

I don't see how your neighbors asking you to stop pounding on their ceiling is any more childish than you complaining about them pounding on your floor.

A better approach might be to explain what you are doing and ask what time of day would be best for you to do it without disturbing them. They may say never, and it's likely if they went to the landlord to complain you'd be asked to stop. Living in an apartment one should expect to show a little courtesy to others living there.
