I thought that this might be an interesting thread.


In mine, it's a lady who boxes. My gym has a large cardio room (with bikes, treadmills and elliptical equipment), and then a large room that is totally empty, separated from the cardio room by a see-through wall and a door. Most people who do boxing go to the large empty room and close the door.



But one lady? She does boxing in the middle of the cardio room, even while the vacant room is right next door. She also dribbles a ball while waiting for her personal trainer and moans when she boxes. It's really distracting.


Love to hear about the most annoying person in YOUR gym!
Moans?!?!? HAHAHA! Dang. Hopefully she's hot at least.

The most annoying person for me is the person who is trying to reserve multiple stations and/or machines at the gym. This guy is always doing supersets or some interval training and basically wants to use the whole damn gym. It got to the point where we had to tell the owner about the guy. Simply because we all tried collectively and it was a waste of time. The guy was so hard headed and didn't think anything about how it was cutting into other peoples time and workout. Once the owner had a chat with him, things chilled out thankfully.

That used to be a problem at my gym pre-Corona but not anymore. The worst offender, an obnoxious fitness dude, is also gone.

Yes, the guy that wants to use two machines at the same time! Then the guy that looks at his phone and just sits there for LONG periods. Come on, either get with it or get off!

Today of all days, the LAF was inundated by new female exercisers, there were at least 3 or 4 I have never seen before, and all doing their routines, all really very young so in my mind what you see is what God gave these girls.

Not like the ones with fake NON FACTORY parts, older than my mother in law.

Not ever annoying at all . . . Hehehehe I am on the ledge in the Second floor where all the Cardio equipment is..and the Scenery down on the Main Floor it's refreshing and outstanding.

We have a younger guy who brings a set of dumbbells onto the ONE fly machine at our gym. The fly machine is one of the most heavily used machines as you can do chest flies or reverse delt exercises and it's simple/easy to use so most novices will lean towards that one. This guy will sit on his phone, taking upwards of 10 mins between sets on this machine, then has the audacity to sit on the machine and do bicep curls, followed by another 10 mins on his phone, and so on and so on for about a half hour.

2nd place is the d-bag who continues to do bicep curls in the squat rack. I want to ask the gym to put up signs that say something like "PLEASE USE FOR DEADLIFTS/SQUATS ONLY" or even "NO BICEP CURLS HERE!"

Most annoying is this guy always trying to get a date. He will confront some woman and then mostly tie up whatever she's using for a long time. I'm like dude, go to a bar or better yet some site like Tinder.

Well, today it was the guys standing a foot in front of me while I'm setting up for heavy deadlifts. I had to tell them twice to give me some space. If I had to tell them a third time I probably would have lost my temper.
