3 is up there. I hate the social idiots that spend hours there. for number 5 all you have to say is, you want to work in? They will usually say no and leave and do something else or they will say yes.
What is your biggest pet peeve when it comes to dealing with the people at a public gym?
1) People Leaving the machines sweaty
2) Leaving tons of weight on the equipment
3) Sitting or standing in way of a machine just holding a conversation
4) People having favorite pieces of cardio equipment that they just HAVE to have when they come.
5)While you are on a piece of equipment that someone else who wants to use it just stands there looking at you instead of doing something else until you are done.
6) Something else....
Mine is def number 4. It can be tons of other cardio equipment open in the gym, but they would rather rush you off of it instead of getting on whatever one is available. Thats one of the reasons I go at night before work. Hardly no one there.

6. For me is stupid but it makes me shake my head. When you see someone working out totally wrong, with wrong form. Or the guys that arent built walking around like they are. You know the whole arms so big they can't put them down. Ive seen guys outside of the gym walking normal but when in there its like they are inflated. its pretty funny.
7. When people live in the showers...
Hands down, 100%, the most annoying thing to me is the guy that lifts a ton of weight and then just drops it on the floor.
We get it dude, you can lift a lot of weight, no need to make sure everyone sees by making as much noise as possible.
I'm a fairly big guy and lift pretty heavy weights as compared to most at the gym, and I've never once dropped a weight or a bar because of exhaustion, so I know it's not necessary.
That is pretty funny. But as long as they stay out my way I could care less.
If there is a piece of equipment that I want to use that someone else is on I'll just go on to whatever I was going to do next. But by me going at night I rarely have to worry about that.
number six for me is when the fat doing sit-ups displays her toe...I cant help but fall off the treadmill every time i see this
Yea, the fat ladies in spandex can ruin my day.
I also hate the people that flitter from one machine to the next, seemingly trying to put in about 30 seconds on every machine in the gym.
How about "way too much cologne guy"?
Or, "high school kid flexing in front of the mirror".
Or, "ambiguously gay guy doing hanging leg raises while holding his t-shirt by his teeth in order to see his abs guy".
Cell phone on the treadmill guy.
at toe...
Why do you feel rushed? em.. Nobody can rush me, you need to learn how to care about what you do instead of others..
I don't like dudes walking around naked in the men's bathroom. That's ing gay. Wrap a towel around you or something... fricking s...
locker room naked guy
Thats all in them trying to show off for everyone like you said. It is a guy at my gym who when he lifts grunts so freakin loud you can hear that sucker all the way down stairs when you first come in the door. It got so bad they had to put up a sign. People are not trying to hear that crap.
Early 90's parachute pants and tiny pink tanktop guy.
LOL yeah some of these guys dont know what towels are.
real men of genius............
I hate when there's not enuff good looking, sweaty, trim.
Why in the would I go to a gym for? To work out? no..........
Geez I'm glad I go at night...I can only imagine the characters that would be there right around the time everyone is getting off. Between 5-7pm.
Mr Naked Locker Roooooooooooooom Guy
thats why I love the Golds on the south side cause they always put out in the sauna
Sorry, I left my embroidered "Hammer-time" towel at home that day.
lol, They made a sign for that too. "Please be courteous of other members and cover up in the lounge area" I can understand right by your locker, or from the shower to your locker. But to parade around the entire locker room buttball naked is un-called for.
We have a lounge area in my gym. How about the ignorant jerks who feel as though they will sit in the leather chairs soaking freakin wet to watch television? It takes two seconds to dry off. Some people are just so freakin common.
I can't stand it when people don't clean equipment when they are done. And by the same token I hate it when the gym wipes run out. That's just disgusting.
I don't care much about people leaving weights on equipment other than I then wonder if someone is in the middle of reps.... so when I see this I hate having to check around to find out if anyone is using the equipment.
The conversation thing doesn't bother me because I just barge in to get to the equipment.
I don't guess I ever see #4. Do they ask you to find another one or something? I would just ignore them probably.
As for #5 I agree with ATRAIN.
So #1 by far for me is the most annoying.
man tell me about it
I was at gold's once on nacodoches and these 2 ripped guy's were lifting major weight, but they were screaming like banshees while doing it, but they got what they wanted, everyone was looking at them.
u must shake ur head at me then
I try to do the workout as accurately as i can, but sometimes i know i'm doing it slightly wrong, but too embarrassed to ask someone
