1. People that think talking on speaker phone is better, then holding the phone to their ear.-- no one gives a poooh that u got a phone call. No need for an announcement.--
2. Those a holes that use their phone as a boom box.
3. No common courtesy people. Wash your gym clothes b4 wearing them again. bc When your thighs rub, from all the friction you create a rank a** cloud of musk, that NO ONE wants to walk through after a killer work out. Barf
4. Stare at yourself in the privacy of your home. You know you look good. No need to make an a** of yourself.
5. Women who leave used tampons and maxi pad in the shower. Grown a** women, with no class. Shame!
6. if you are going to hit on me, don't do it when I'm in my zone. Just f's up my rotation, leaving u banned from my pants.
The list is endless. But the gym is always entertaining.

guys that walk into a gym its bicep day 3 - 4 days a week... u sit there n do workouts than actually matter n ur bench is 370 n theirs is under 200 but that guy n his buddies r always super psyched about doin 9 sets of curls before they all go tan together. hahaha
;p; kid you take yourself too seriously.
matter? really? benching 370 matters?
frankly dontbash the guys for doing any workout, at least they are in there.

I can deal with noise I have my ipod
I can deal with cleaning off a machine before and after use
But I will NOT deal with someone who obviously doesn't care how their scent effects other people. I go to the gym 12am (after work) there is maybe 10 people in the gym. There is NO reason that I should smell you 15 feet away.

Not reracking your weights, cause now I have to stop what Im doing and put your crap away before I can continue.
Dropping the weights, if you cant control the weight in the neg its too heavy for you.

Curls in the squat rack is my number one pet peeve.
Exercises I don't mind seeing in the rack :
- Squats (obviously)
- Bench Press : It is much safer to bench press in the rack when you don't have a spotter
- Standing Military Press : Saves energy not to have to clean the weight up from the ground
- Barbel Rows : Not all gyms have separate row stations.

I laughed at him and said thats becuase I go all the way down till my a** hits the chair, unlike your half rep ones.....after getting mad and called me a b*tch I told him to try........I proved my point when he tried, went all the way down and didnt get back up.....after letting the weight fall off him on the safty bars he said he would of got it if he didnt just do his set.....I said what ever and did another set of ten ......he then got rude again and said you are going to far down.....All I could do was look at him with a dumb look on my face.....I was speechless .....Shit like that pisses me off lol......sorry story was so long for anyone who does read this

I could never go off on members like that because I worked at the gym as a trainer. However, my number one pet peeve is people who don't squat properly. I wish I could have seen you put him in his place.

Attention getting tactics:
1. The guy doing curls with dumb bells. Instead of using controlled breathing techniques he screeches all sorts of loud noises.
2. He, then, drops the weights on the floor.
I asked a trainer once if I did that will it give me bigger gains?

People that don't strip the bar down and put the weights away. I was waiting for the Smith machine and the guy that was on it knew I was waiting for it. When he finished his set he just walked away with the bar loaded. So I told him to strip it down, he gave me a funny look but he did strip it down, at least one side I did the other side. I don't mind helping but I'm nut there to baby sit either!! Oh and guys on their cell phones texting while I'm waiting to use the equipement. Bull shit on your time not mine

I hate it when a few people sit on a station just talking and not working out.
These are usually the senior citizens. One day i told one of them to move if he was not using the machine.
He told me that the machine was tired and he was allowing it to rest.
I don't know it that was to be funny, but it missed me off even more.

Recently, people who never rerack their weight after they use them as well as smelly funky people. Another one is morons who do nothing but pose for the mirror and spend little to no time actually working, WHILE TAKING UP THE DAMN MACHINE. Another is a spotter, as I've stated before, if you know damn well you can do reps with thew eight, why add all of that weight to do one half-assed rep? Bullshit like that pisses me off......gamer

Most of my conflicts are inward . Being a buff guy trapped inside an old guys body. But here is a few
The guy with the marine shirt on that can't do 1 pull up( don't be disrespecting the boys)
Watching a 20 year old 100 lb little girl put all the 45 lb plates back on the rack all the tough guys were too lazy to put away.
Most of my rants are from the boxing gyms that I've spent most in my life involved with. In any gym I don't like disrespectful people of any shape and size or someone who mocks an overweight person . But. What I loved is getting in the ring with the guy who says lets go light and just sparr. I've spent years with more experienced guys paying my dues and I never said that . But then they want to light you up and cry if you make them pay for it F*** that . I fight everyone. It's the only way you Lear under pressure. Keep it real!

You're not the only one. Coming from working out now, these exact things has happened at my time at gym. Especially inconsiderate smelly men using the machine and don't wipe it down. As well as men trying to distract me from doing my barbell curls and squats talking and basically bullshitting while I'm trying to do my set. Even my Iphone blasting can't prevent this. So frustrating .......gamer

Forgive me my weightlifting brothers and sisters, for I have sinned. Yesterday I did barbell curls in the squat rack. But, I swear it was my first and only time Ive ever committed such sacrilege within the house of iron. Besides, no one else was in there but me, so I figured I could get away with it.

People who come to the gym smelling really bad before they even begin to workout. Seriously I have changed machines to get away from them.
Please women do not put your bag/shoes on the locker room bench while others are standing trying to get dressed because there is no room to sit for your bag is there!!!!

I know it has been said here but it bears repeating, WIPE DOWN THE MACHINES WHEN YOU ARE DONE! Nothing worse than watching some sweaty person just getting up and walking away. What part of the messages put up all over the gym asking you to wipe down the machines do you not understand?
