What annoys you about your gym? For me, it's:

when somebody uses the machine, leaves, yet leaves a puddle of sweat behind

when you're exercising and someone interrupts you because they want to know if you want to work out with them

when somebody hasn't bathed properly and is funking up the whole place

old dudes walking around the locker room naked. what's the reason for standing on the weightscale buck ass naked, dude?


what are yours?

I am a PRO at minding my own damn business at the gym. Very good at ignoring the people around me.

The only thing that sometimes bugs me is that I'm often the only girl on the weight machines. I feel a lot of male eyeballs on me. Yes, I have tits and I'm lifting weights! Bugger off!

OMG, I would freak out if anyone ever did that to me! I didn't know people even do that, wtf??

You've already mentioned some of mine. I'll add the mf's who sing aloud & do acrobatic shit near you - totally disruptive!!

I also hate it when the music is SO LOUD it drowns out your IPod

- People that walk slow as hell on the treadmill while talking on their cellphone !!!!


- Women that go to the gym with a full face of make up on and smelling like that just finished jumping into a pool of perfume !!!!

Yeah, I was working out and this big muthafucka walked up to me and said if I wanna kickbox. I said I didn't have time and dude gave the muthafuckin' side eye!

I walked away kinda scared because he looked kinda crazy. When I walked out the gym, dude was watching walk out with this wide eyed blank stare.

I didn't go back for a damn week

HOLY SHIT!!!

JessieJ said:

OMG!
Those were the same two I was going to say!

bboy87 said:

WTF is up with that?

Loud, stupid music.

Personally I think some fast-paced drum n bass would be just the thing to work out to.

But no. Lame-as-shit Top 40 remixes are what gyms around here play. And LOUD! Whoopee.

- When dudes work out IN JEANS? WTF? Get some sweats, your dumb ass muthafucka

- People who fart and you walk RIGHT INTO THE HORRENDOUS WHIFF OF THAT SHIT!

- Dumb asses that wipe their sweat off the machines with their workout gloves - yeah, that works, homie.

- Muthafuckas who try and use 2 and 3 machines at the same time and then try and come over and say "I'm on that"...I fire back - "Me, too" and continue with my set

- Idiot muthafuckas that come over to your machine and take weights off the side racks without asking if you're using them. I had to check this bitch the other day for that shit

- Clowns that ask you to spot them, and they can barely lift the shit so then YOU gotta do ALL THE FUCKIN' WORK!

- Muh'fuckas that fill up their 10 GALLON water jug at the water fountain, causing a line to form

- Sweatty-headed muthafuckas that get their grease, gel, and sweat all over the headrest. Wear a scarf, sweaty muthafucka!

- Dummies that do, like, 27 sets on a machine. Dumb ass.

mister i'm going to sit right here on the machine you need to use and talk to my mom on my cell phone about what i've been doing for the past 10 years.

I avoid all this bullshit 2 ways! I go 2 an Unfashionable Gym. And I go in the middle of the day when it's practically empty!

MuthaFunka said:

MUTHAFUCKIN CHUUUUURCH!!!!

That fartin' shit happens nearly everytime I go to the damn gym

And why do old men come to the gym and right before they workout, they take a shower?! Your old ass should've done that shit at yo damn house, playa? And stop walking around the locker room with your balls out like that!

I think it's absolutely hilarious when the skinny dudes walk around the gym in full workout garb and think they're doing big shit...with and 2.5 and 5 pound weights. Workin' up a sweat and shit

bboy87 said:

The old dudes be killin' it, don't they? I ain't mad at 'em, though. Glad they still have it in 'em to at least do the damn thang, no matter how slow or light .

I got one for y'all...

On my last deployment to Iraq, I was on a Marine airbase....so I'm on a bench, doing Iso-dumbell curls....about 4-5 feet from the mirror....out of anyone's way and not really IN the mirror....so why does Joe Jarhead step between me and the mirror and start doing bent-over rows??? His ass was literally an inch from my nose....

...then he looks at me like I'm the one with a fucking problem when my Lieutenant has to physically restrain me from beating his ass.....

The skinny dudes be young. The old dudes be hittin' the weights hard, but it's those dudes who only work out to go to the club on Friday nights who be doing that real light shit

I mean, I ain't doin 100lb dumbbells or anything(I work out for my health and my breakdancing) but 2.5 pound weights? When a 60 year old woman is looking at you like you're a punk ass bitch, something's wrong

tackam said:

Me too but i really like it when i'm looking for dumbbells and dudes
pass me their 20s and i'm like, "ahh no, i need your 45s"

(ahem) Don't ask...don't tell. ()

bboy87 said:

Ah ok!

MuthaFunka said:

All the fat people.

bboy87 said:

I haven't been to the gym in .. yeah lol .. but the only thing that bugged me at the gym.. is the unisex thing (I'd rather go to an all female gym).. the men stare

JessieJ said:

that is disgusting!!! I once saw this girl with make up on, no towel, she was sweating and she kept wiping her forehead with her hand and then wiping her hand on her pants

Leaving perfume all over the machines, then evidently ME.

DEODORANT not PERFUME, women!

CalhounSq said:

Clumsy mofos

You don't know how to deal with a machine EVERYTIME you come in this gym,,,,don't fuckin' MESS with it, you country ass

JustErin said:

Classy.

bboy87 said:

I really can't figure out these 60 year old men doing this shit. But sure as hell any gym you go too, any time of day, there will be 1 in there naked and just walking around talking to everybody.

When folks treat the gym like its the club....standing around, chit-chatting and flirting, lounging on machines and benches that need to be used for ACTUALLY WORKING OUT...

or the grunters who yell like they're doing karate....
or what I like to call the pretty lifters...do about 3 reps and pose in the mirror for 10 minutes afterward...meanwhile, you're standing there waiting for the machine/equipment that they're using...
