Annoyances in the Gym

People who solely come to flex and stare at themselves in the mirror for 3 hours straight.

Improper weight lifting form, expecially high school kids who are trying to swing the 90lb dumbell to see if they can get a "rep"

People who leave weights on a mechine expecting the next person to put them back.

People who try and use 6 machines intermittenly when its busy.

:rant:
 
ladies in the lockerroom strutting around with their droopy boobs hanging out... FOR NO REASON... not to shower.. not to change... just to run around and have ppl look at them.

This one irks the hell out of me - especially when some guy loads the bench press bar or the squat bar with 300 lbs and then walks away w/out unloading it. I wind up getting more of a workout just cleaning up their mess.

People who talk on the phone while they're working out.

People who don't wipe their sweat off the machines.

People who stare.

People who stand in the middle of the walkway and won't move when others are clearly doing lunges or sprints and need the room.

People who spread their stuff out all over the dressing room and then get pissy when you move something so you can sit down and put on your shoes.

Shall I go on?

(although I give it 4 posts before this thread goes downhill as someone complains about nudity in the locker room or someshit like that)

yep. well i already did that.:leaving:


not nudity... i dont mind naked people in there... bc thats what it is for. But the people who strip everything off and prance around and then bend over in front of you with their cheeks in your face.... and just are obnoxious.


sorry... guess i had to be 'that person.....
 
We must have cross posted. I just don't understand being annoyed by someone being nude in the locker room. Some people are more modest than others, sure, but why does it bother YOU when someone else is naked in a place that you're SUPPOSED to get undressed in? It's not like you're being forced to walk around naked.
 
People who use the squat rack for stretching.

People who use the squat rack for curls - wtf???

People who use the squat rack for other weird shit that they could do elsewhere.

Admittedly, I use the squat rack for inverted rows, but there's no other place to effectively do 'em.
 
Haha I'm with you on all of these, I hate people who leave their sweat on the machines, just gross and unnecessary - they gym have paper towels all over the place. I also hate when there are kids in the changing rooms running wild. There is this one woman who has a brood of the most badly behaved kids I have ever seen. The last time I saw them they were running wild, one picked up the hair dryer and started blowing it and blew some woman's contact lense away. Then they proceeded to have a massive water fight using their sports bottles soaking everything and every one, including my new gym bag. I normally like kids but ffs some people should keep them under control!

because if i wanted saggy boobs in my face... id go to a strip club or maybe a nursing home....


again... i dont mind naked people... who are changing or have some purpose to the nudity..... getting out of the shower... etc


but like... this one lady stands in there in the mirror... blowing her hair dry.... stretching.... lotioning her ass....

its like seriously... i wanna hold my breakfast down.

to each their own tho.... i just am not a fan... and since the title was annoyances in the lockerroom... that was one of mine so i shared.
 
I really don't see why being nude in a locker room is such a big deal. That's what a locker room is for.

- grunting really loudly when lifting weights
- size 0 girls just holding weights in their hands and talking about nothing
- changing the channel on the tv when you are watching it
- people talking really, really loudly. you can still hear them through your headphones.

haha. ok ladies why dont we agree to disagree then? I think i assumed that since it said gym annoyances... we could post OUR annoyances... and not have to over explain why it annoys us.

afterall... most things that annoy us... really shouldnt..... and those size 0 girls... well hunnie... they lift weights too ;)
 
I am with cord, curls in the squat rack is just soooooo wrong
people complaining that you grunt especially from people lifting pink dumbels
Men who say i shouldn't be lifting X amount of weight
 
Only annoyance i get is when people just sit or hold up the equipment doing nothing, just chatting away with there mates.

mmhm, just typically judging by your appearance people tend to think they know the better of you. (Depending if you a newcomer and trying to go 150 or something ;))

Here's a couple of mine...

People trying to talk to me when I'm minding my own business reading my book on the eliptical machine.
Getting wierd looks from guys when I'm the only girl in the room with free weights
Guys grunting super loud just to show off
People just sitting at the machines between sets and not letting you work in with them
When the water aerobics class gets ouyt and all the ladoes spread their stuff out in front of all the lockers and are oblivious to the fact that they are sharing the space with other people.
 
The worst - people who use dumbbells directly in front of all the dumbells, so they can stand 4 inches from the mirror. Yeah, you're kinda blocking the rest of us from getting dumbbells you douche.
