Gym Pet Peeves (legs, children, arms, sweating)

[gametime]

1. too many people in the gym that are there to people watch instead of workout or too many people in the gym period. I like to work out in quiet.

2. Hairy, Fat Men that have never been to the gym and pretend they are there to work it off. No, they are there to people watch too because they are hideous and will never get that hard body or that hot babe.

3. Creepy gym employees.

4. Stinky gym equipment. You creepy gym employees need something to do? clean this equipment off!

5. Snotty women that really do want to hear compliments on their body's but when you give them, they're back to being snotty. good grief. go home.

You must work out at Equinox or some other high-priced social club disguised as a gym

The shameless locker-room men. Yes. Getting naked and showering/changing is a fact of sweating that much. However, one guy was powdering "himself." Well, in the time he spent powdering his junk, a KFC employee could probably batter 3 buckets of chicken. For God's sake...

The elliptical divas: Usually in Burberry Sport or some other such Saks Fifth Avenue sportswear, they don't break a sweat. In fact, it's a bad thing if they do.

Bro's: They generally travel in packs of 3-5 and occupy an inordinate quantity of free weights.

Those who look down on cardio: If you neglect cardio entirely, 80 pounds of (extra) muscle isn't much better than 80 extra of fat. The heart still has to pump through all that flesh. Bulking and cutting cycles (if harsh) are also quite hard on the heart.

This is a college gym that locals/townies can also join.

Hey dont knock Equinox. Best non Crossfit gym in the world.

[reconmark]

People that use equipment, cough and sweat all over it and then walk away from it.

Do that nasty crap at your house, you use it, clean it!!

[onepanda]

People who use dumbbells a foot away from the rack.
Get your weights, move away from the rack so that others can grab weights, and then lift

Also, those who don't re-rack their weights

[SoEdible]

1. The big dudes that look like they have fat-on-top-of-muscle, yet always seem like the most arrogant guys in there.
2. The girls that come just to talk to each other while you're trying to use a machine.
3. Creepy guys that just stare.
4. People that are observing your workout more than they do their own.
5. Stinky people.
6. Guys who don't wear underwear and don't look too good doing that. ('Cause, uh, I won't complain if their commando look is sexy downbelow, lol). There's an old guy at my gym who always wears these grey shorts made from cut-off sweatpants and his junk looks nasty. I noticed it one day and always avoid looking. When he sweats, it's really bad.
7. People obviously showing off. You can tell because after they do something, they always look around to see who saw them, lol. There is this group of high school kids that always do that. They come in (and they are in GREAT shape) and make the biggest scenes about stuff. The one kid swears he is Bruce Lee. Sometimes they show off their abs to each other, lol. It's cute and cool, but other people do it as well, all the time.

I'm gonna stop ...

[invertigo]

We can't forget the rude, young girl at the front desk with her head buried in her facebook page....and the creepy trainer guy that's constantly lurking by her.

Naked people and I'm not talking about the guy who goes from the shower to his locker and gets dressed. I'm talking about the guy who will put a shirt and flip flops on and nothing else...do his hair, brush his teeth, shave then put his underwear on. There is this big guy that I see at the gym every once and a while with his 10-14 year old son. I'm getting dressed and the kid is waiting by the t.v. in the locker room and I hear his dad in the shower telling him to bring a towel in to him. The kid goes in to the shower, then I hear them conversing while he is toweling off.

yeah but lifting can be great cardio.

I can't stand people who don't put things back when they're done. Also people who use the squat rack for curls/bench presses/lunges, etc. there is only 1 place for squatting and about a dozen places for those other activities.
