The annoying things people do at your gym

[Popatar]

List here some of the annoying things people tend to do at your gym. I will start:

[*]Not wiping after using a machine equipment (sometimes its ok when you are not sweating)
[*]Not putting weights away, I hate walking into the gym finding all the squat racks loaded and I have to ask everyone in the gym if they are using it
[*]When I ask for a spot and they grab the bar the whole time
[*]When noobs come and try to match my weight only to fail miserably and I have to come over to remove the weight from them
[*]People who workout in jeans (really? why would you do that)
[*]Girls who come in with tons of makeup (what's the point of that?!! Unless you are coming from work there is no reason to wear a ton of makeup to the gym)
[*]curls in the squat rack (its fine when noone needs to squat)
[*]When someone smells like B.O.

I couldn't agree more, these habits are definitely annoying. On my case, it doesn't worry me much because I always come early to the gym, I prefer to workout with less people.

^Your on an intermittent fast right? So do you take some bcaa's before you workout in the morning? And how is your energy level throughout the rest of the day? I have a new job and I think I might need to start working out early in the morning as well.

You pretty much listed everything wrong with people at the gym that I can think of. Although another thing that peeves are those kinds of people that purposely try to show off.

Training at my local gym became unbearable, hence why I now train at home. You make the rules in your gym, and there are no idiots sabotaging your training plans. Your power rack will never be occupied by someone doing barbell curls.

Walk around naked in the changing room. I know, it's a changing room with shower, but please. This is not just the people that look like god's either, it is all shapes and sizes. Personally, I still like to maintain a certain level of modesty.

I think it's really funny how some people can get really worked up about seeing naked people in public, yet they are extremely okay with walking around nude in the gym. And yes, I'm talking to you old guy at the gym...

The first thing on the list is very common in the gym where I am doing my workout. I tell you that is really annoying especially when they are sweating heavily. What is just do is that I bring some extra fabric and I just wipe every bench and equipment before I use it.

I also have seen people going to the gym with their jeans. Some of this are people that go the gym straight from work and they don't bring extra clothes. What they do is just take off their shirt and start lifting.

One more that I would add to the list is not really a thing they do, but just a thing.

There always seems to be a group of people (who look like they hardly ever touch any weights at all) that workout together. The weird and annoying thing is that they hoard around 1 person whenever they are working out. Only 1 person is actually working out, the rest are just surrounding him/her.

Haha, these guys who are usually high school kids walk in like a giant wall and crowd around the smith machine.

Another one is when you get guys that stare at you through the mirror. Its fine if you are watching to learn or whatever, but when its constant it gets creepy.
