Pet Peeves at the Gym: Volume II

[KingPosey]

(I know i'm gonna get slack for this if Hugh reads this)

Out of shape trainers who try to tell you the best way to train

I used to be a trainer for years and it would embarass me so much when they would hire people that didnt practice fitness.

And then those guys go around and their sole mission is tocorrect everyone's posture while they work out. SERIOUSLY, youre gonna correct me?

I dont want 99% of the people there, most of the big dudes are douche bags who cant even squat their own weight yet feel like they own teh gym because they train their biceps everyday. I vow to never become one of them, yelling on every set and looking down at everyone else.

Commercials gyms are filled with morons and generic people who dont really want to be there anyway. Not saying there arent people who are respectful and knowledgeable though, but they are a rarity. It amazes me how many people are inconsiderate of basic gym etiquette, but there is nothing that can be done about it, so best just to look the other way instead of intervening.

Where do you work out BK?

[Mell413]

People who do curls in the squat rack. Especially since there is only one squat rack at my gym.

People who stand in front of the dumbbell rack.

When the gym is basically empty and someone uses a machine right next to you. I went to the gym at like 1 am once and I'm on the stairmaster. Then someone picks a stairmaster right next to me. It's one thing if you're hot but she wasn't

24 hour fitness.

Don't really have another choice ATM.

when people don't put their weights away, or in the right spot, not just anywhere on any rack.

when people leave their towels on the weight floor.

when 1 old person *****es to me about the radio being on rap or hard rock, when their 10 or 12 other people there who want it on rap or hard rock. if you don't like it, workout in the morning.

someone actually wanted me to put it on a country station last week.

when I greet someone when they enter and walk past me, and you can tell they are intentionally trying to ignore me. if i say, "hey, how are you doing today?" just say "good". don't look the other way and keep walking


pretty generic complaints, but it's even more annoying now that I work their every week.

These kids who come to the gym with all their friends once a week and think they are huge.

[BirdIsTheWord]

This old Scottish guy comes in and talks to all the regulars for 30-60 minutes (depending on how many people there) before jumping on the treadmill. He's nice enough but it can get pretty annoying.

When one person who actually knows what they're doing tries a really odd looking exercise, and the group of kids who look like they wandered into the wrong room try to do the same thing terribly wrong.

Not a pet peeve, but I find it hysterical. It makes for great entertainment between sets.
