I love working out. I work out about 5 days a week. I like go to the gym. There is one issue though. People that ride your ass at the gym when you are walking. I walk moderately fast paces, but every time I walk into the Gym. I always have some A-hole walking right up behind me all fast as if they were tail gating me in a car. Sometimes they are walking so fast behind me , I could hear them breath . In my mind I really want to turn around and say WHERE THE HELL IS THE FIRE? WHAT ARE YOU AMPED UP ON?

Usually I will just politely stop, turn around and have my hand for them to go. They usually look at me weird, but they get the point.

Last time I was going up the stairs and I had a girl riding so close to me that she actually tripped into my back.



Does this not happen to anyone ? What the hell is wrong with people? Anyone just feel like turning around and smacking them?

I don't like people following close behind me regardless of the situation. I usually just turn around so they can pass.

If this always happens to you perhaps you are walking too slow. There is no need for people to be rude and ride up on others, but a lot of people that are going to the gym are fitting it in during their busy day and do not have a lot of time to spare.

I find that most people who go to gyms are more or less annoying.

I second the treadmill option! I never have an issue with this at the gym I use because we only have treadmills as our walking option.

I have this happen sometimes, I immediately let them pass. I've tripped/mis-stepped and had people bump into me from behind which is when something needs to be said. "whoa, back off" or "get yourself a cowbell" are good responses IMO. Never used the latter but it would work for sure.

I think you have me mis-understood. I am not walking the hall ways for exercise. LOL i do weight training. Im 28 and fit. I walk fast. These people are just a-holes amped up on some pre workout or something. I walk a moderate pace. I am not a slow walker. It usually happens when I'm walking in.
