Anyone here work out on a regular basis. I am pissed off at my gym right now and I feel the need to vent.
Stupid shit that I see at my gym;

1. The selfish MoFo that stays on the treadmill for a damn hour strolling at 3.0 mph. Maby if you sped that bad boy up, your sorry ass would work up and sweat and you wouldn't need to be it on for hour.

2. The 400 lb dude who stays on the ab machine all day. No offense to the big guys but you got to get it down before you tighten it up.

3. The out of shape personal trainer that is trying to sell their services. PLEASE!!! your body is in worst shape than mine. Why should I take advice from YOU???

4. The out of shape brother that is really trying to flirt but he tries to play it off by offering you advice on your form. Once again,,,PLEASE!!! Why should I take advice from you???

5. The glamour chicks who come to the gym in the non-functional outfits, with tons of make up and their hair all done looking like Naomi Campbell strolling throuhg the gym like they are on the catwalk. Why are you even there? What is your purpose?

6. The shallow dudes that pay attention to the Naomi Campbell chicks thereby reinforceing their bad behavior.

7. And last but not least...The chicks that are brand new to the aerobics class who hop their clueless assess right up in front of the class. If you don't know what your doing,get the hell in the back of the class till you find out. And speaking of aerobics, there is this one chick in my class who totally disregards the routine that we are doing and does her own step. WTF?

8. Did I mention the assholes who walk on the treadmill for an hour?

I hope I didn't piss of anyone in here. I know that the orgers have bettter manners.

Oh I almost forgot...The people who work out in groups and while one person is on one machine, the other person sits on a machine that they are not even using. They just sit there laughin and talking. GET YO ASS UP.

Not a word about the lil in the showers, looking at things he's not supposed to look at...

I HATE THE GYM.

I like keeping fit but I hate seeing people's sweat patches!

Go to an all-nude gym... that will solve the problem.

ewww

Natsume said:

Well... you wouldn't see sweat patches on clothing at least...

:LOL:

don't forget "poser guy" ... the dude that's been working out for about two weeks... and walks around with his arms sticking out about two feet from his sides...EVERY gym has one of those

I'm feeling you mister bliss on the poser guy. I also forgot the muscle bound dude in the striped tights? WTF??? Be a man dammit!!! Also, the dudes who put tons of weights on the machine and leave them on there and then I have to move all of that shit if I wanna use the machine.

selfish, lazy bastards!

:LOL:

Those guys are the best!

and "humiliate a friend guy" the guy that brings his friend along to train with him... so he can a) abuse the friend for doing it all wrong... and b) have his friend look at him in awe just after he finishes a heavy bench

Hey, let us have our fun! The gym can be a flirty experience at times, it's only natural...

My only pet hate about the gym is people that don't wipe down the machines after they use them. Oh and people that just sit on the machines without using them, having a chat.

MrBliss said:

those guys rule!


(actually I did that once... but not as bad you described )

Ah Yes, Mr Bliss. You obviously know what you are talking about. I hereby pronounce you a gym rat.

I actually could have written your list as I have the same complaints. I also love fat dudes who try to pretend that their fat is muscle.

illimack said:

Uh. . .if you're using a weight machine, why is it a problem to have to. . .ya know. . .pick up some weights first? I'm just sayin'.

I hate gyms. I tried to be a gym rat for awhile, but I finally had to accept the fact that I hated every minute. Every single one. And every second thereof. I prefer a workout that DOES something. For example, yesterday I walked about 5 miles to the closest bookstore, my reward being that I actually let myself buy some books instead of just browsing and getting the ones I want from the library later, as per my usual routine. See, this is how nerds get themselves to excercise.

I hate the people who insist on walking side by side on the two lane track although it's clearly against the rules and totally impedes me as I try to run by.

tackam said:

it's not a problem... it's just courtesy to leave the machine how you found it

tackam said:

The biggest problem is that when some men use the leg press or the bench press they put about six 45 pound weights on it and it might be too much weight for someone (paticularly some woman) to have to put away. Also, if you are bench pressing it's a totally different lift then putting a bunch of weights away. Plus it's a rule in every gym I've ever been in that you put away weights when done.

Thank you Lovemachine. Nicely put. See the people that go to the gym all the time know how it is to be constantly cleaning up behind some grown-ass man. It's the principle of the thing.

Yep...people sweating everywhere on the machines and then not be courteous enough to clean them. YUK!

MrBliss said:

Well maybe if you scrawny ass guys with your pipe cleaner arms weren't just pressing air on every workout, you wouldn't HAVE to change the weights to a lighter load on the machines.

Anyone eva notice an unproportionate people?

When I used 2 be a gym rat...I used 2 notice people who obviously just spent all their working out time on one part of their body.

There used 2 be this one guy, that was quite stocky and tall...but had small calves and HUGE thighs and an ever BIGGER BUTT, when he passed you...

Another woman neva seemed 2 use any of the machines, instead she used 2 spend hours going from one end of the gym 2 the other doing walking squats, he legs were so strong and muscley they almost looked like Superman's legs

Also anyone eva have a gym instructor who was a bit power crazed and tortured u? I used 2 have a woman instructor who looked kinda ordinary, but when she made u do some ab-cruches...she made u CRUNCH...ouch!

UGH! don't you just hate that guy

illimack said:

I was just telling a friend about these women. I mean on a Sunday morning with perfume and make-up on. WTF!

I don't want to see this, I haven't taken a shower and I'm nasty.

Being a guy though, it breaks my concentration because they have skin tight outfits on and are bent over in fron of me.

Guys are just wired different but women should just throw on a T-shirt with some sweats. I would notice them if they're cute but I wouldn't have to look.

I work at a gym and the biggest gripe I have is when people just show up funky before working out or taking a class. I don't mean just stinky but the kind of blinding mindnumbing funk that makes your eyes water.

There's this one guy who takes boxing class with us every Friday and he smells sooo bad. Like corned beef hash and ass. God help me.

jesus! hash and ass? How does that happen?

One bad part about working out in the gym is the noxious clouds of gas that people have silently forced out of themselves when they're straining...

Oh yeah I hate that. It's not worth it when you have to "squeeze out that last rep" out your ass and make everybody ill.
