someone having a spotter when he or she uses the smith machine for bench pressing.



that is far down on the list for me. It's definitely below these:

- not re-racking your weights
- not wiping your sweat off the equipment
- talking on a phone while occupying a machine or bench
- needlessly dropping weights
- dousing yourself and everything around you with some shitty spray like Axe

Pretty much hate everything about the gym other than my actual workout.

Guys with water jugs.

Small talks.

Using multiple stations at one time.

Yelling and grunting.

Flexing in mirror.

Guys that are always recommending things to me when I didn't ask.

People that walk in to tan and then leave.

Guys doing crossfit type workouts in the middle of everything.

People singing loud with their ipods in.

There's an old black guy that dances to Michael Jackson on the treadmill at one of the gyms I go to. This may be my most favorite thing. It brightens my day.

Not really a pet peeve I guess since it doesn't happen very often, but there is a guy who literally sings out loud the entire time he works out. And I don't mean in a barely perceptible voice. This guy's basically doing karaoke. The other day, a girl who is a regular said "Will you just shut the frick up!" This guy didn't miss a single beat and kept on singing.



I can sort of relate. There's a guy at my gym who lip syncs whatever he is listening to and prances around all over the place. He's trying to be conspicuous. It's like "we get it. you're really into your workout, ya frick."

Most annoying pet peeve at the gym?


Where do I start?

Curling in the squat rack

People who talk to you in the middle of a set

Crossfitters who think they own the gym because of their elite fitness

New Years Resolutioners.

People who coat themselves in cologne before hitting the gym. The CK1 stink can be smelled from 20 feet away

Sweaty bastards who don't wipe down the equipment

People who don't re-rack their weights

I haven't been to a gym in years since I bought equipment to put in my garage. But when I did go

People on the phone/chatting with other folks while tying up equipment. STFU, work out, and move on

People utilizing multiple pieces of equipment

And of course, the guy "curling" 135 lbs. in the squat rack

Hot women who pass gas while doing crunches. Had one do this by me one time, and had no idea something so foul could come out of someone so fine. My throat tightens and my eyes burn just thinking about this awful moment.

Depends on the time of year..

Spring... People trying to get into shape for summer and spring break. Come for only 2 months to take up space and talk about their plans.

Fall... People sitting on a machine, doing nothing, and telling everyone how much they know about football

Winter... New Year's resolution people. Crowd the gym, taking up space and machines for 2 months before you give up.

Other than that.... Curling in the squat rack, Leaving one station to do a set at another, then coming back to the first station to tell you they are using that station too
