Idiots who set you off you while training

Everything said above AND
Poor hygiene
Wear some fucking deodorant and wipe off your machine after your done.

Also in the winter when idiots wear their outdoor shoes on in the gym, tracking sand and dirt all over the place.
 
Germs. If you're coughing up butter and running a fever you have no business being in a public gym.

Like these 2 guys last night in the cardio movie theater at the gym. I just wanted to get my 30 mins in and watch a stupid movie. Both of them on the bikes on either side of me, peddling half-assed on "difficulty level 1", in the gym just dicking around - and both with these raspy buttery productive coughs.

I nope'd out and left. Don't want whatever they've got.
 
After decades of lifting in public gyms, so long as no one drops a weight on my foot, I don't care what the other members do. If someone jumps on a cable I was using I just politely tell them I'm using it & they can work in if they wish. If someone's on a piece of equipment I want to use, I consider it a sign I should do something else. I don't like people leaving heavy weights loaded on bars because some of the old folks can't unload them if they want to use that piece. It's inconsiderate.
 
The person (usually a woman or old fuck) that puts their towel down on the seat of the machine to "claim" it. Then they sit there for 5 minutes in between sets, go to the bathroom, chat with a woman they'll never get, check their phone, stretch, scratch their ass, etc...GET THE WORK DONE AND GET OFF!!
 
Every gym has that old fuck, too, that deems himself Sargent at Arms of the Gym. Sarge does very little exercising but walks around scoffing at form or exercise selection ("We didn't need that in the old days"), bitching about unracked weights, shaking his head at anyone that looks like they might be on "steroids", etc...

Agree 100%
There's nothing worse than hitting a PR and waking up sick the next day because bro next to you couldn't stay home and finish his antibiotics.
 
I am a pacer too… in between sets, as i dont like just sitting waiting in between sets.

After hearing all these i have a pretty solid crowd lol.

Seems to be alot more teenagers and younger kids, doing more because instagram. I do go up to many when they doing exercise wrong to help then out.
 
You guys are making me remember why I built a gym during covid!! People not racking weights after their sets is probably my biggest peeve, and that’s closely followed by people sitting on machines or benches staring at their phones. We had a super gay dude that would come in the sauna, which isn’t that big, and had a sign saying no nudity, butt naked and would dry his back facing everyone sitting on the benches, with his little dong flopping back and forth, before he’d hang his towel on his shoulder and lotion up his legs and body with some bitch smelling shit. Dudes would just shove past his to leave in disgust, day after day, and he just kept it up. I can’t believe nobody ever smashed him, everyone hated his ass. Although if you had beat his ass, you’d be all over the media for a hate crime, I’m sure. Back to I’m real glad to have my own gym, now.

Yet, jokes on everyone else because he sounds like he was enjoying himself freely, while everyone else was rotten….but that is selfish of him when your supposed to be clothed and he is not.

he was braking the rules since it said no nudity…

Part of me was definitely jealous of that “I’m doing what I want, fuck all y’all” attitude. Crazy thing is the dude is a principal at an elementary school, I know the chick that runs the office at that school. You’d think bring a principal would come with some level of being able to read people, and potentially following the posted rules, which he clearly was incapable of.
 
The high school boyfriend/girlfriend duo. Girlfriend isn't particularly interested in actually working out, but she's supposedly there to spot boyfriend, who of course is trying to lift far beyond his actual capabilities to impress GF. BF narrowly escapes injury/death several times, both because GF has no idea of proper spotting technique and because they both get the giggles over her cluelessness.

Both of them are oblivious to the death stares from other members who want to use the squat rack for, you know, actual squats.

The other idiot who used to piss me off regularly was my ex-husband, who had taken some classes in college in sport-specific training for athletes and had some coaching experience. He thought he knew everything and was always trying to correct me on technique and form, insisting I was squatting too deep, telling me that dips would wreck my shoulders, etc.

He pissed me off regularly outside of the gym too, but that's not relevant here.
 
I hate grunters! Those guys who always need to shout at themselves and make loud noises to get psyched up to squat 3 plates and do bicep cheat curls with 100kg...
 
I'm tired of those SBD guys that come with a bag full of bands, chalk, smelling salt and start yelling and screaming with their buddies (to get hyped) and all that so they can squat 120kg or deadlift 150kg smh

Oh, he's not, lol. I don't hate him at all; only reason we divorced is that for 14 years he refused anything resembling gainful employment. I make a good salary but not enough to support someone who just wants to play tennis and ride bicycles all day, unless I don't want to bother planning for retirement.

That's what pissed me off about him. I solved the gym-related problem by just not working out at the same time he did.

Two-way street; I fully recognize that I am not the easiest person to live with. Not the worst by any means, but not exactly laid--back-anything's-fine either.
