Obsessive yelling/screaming
Strangers that have full blown conversations with you while your working out.
Equipment hogs. Unless its a treadmill or something of that nature. 10 minutes tops.

here's a rule...if there are a lot of machines available (i.e. treadmill, stairmaster, bikes, etc)....common courtesy is to skip at least one machine between people. if it's packed, i understand. but if the place is practically empty...gimme some personal space!

Sweating is great but bring a damn towel, I don't want any of it dripping on me when i'm next to you minding my own business.

I'm with Ev if there are empty machines don't come next to mine and try to talk.

Exactly! I think it's pretty dumb to try n pick someone up or hit on someone when you're at a gym, I mean that's why they have bars n shit like that. Could've sworn you went to the gym to just work out and that only....

Which reminds me, just last week this guy kept rambling about his kids and about how he's lost so much weight and his health n I was close to telling him dude...STFU already no one cares and no one asked you! He was annoying as shit cuz he saw me busting my ass on the bench press yet continued the convo....

I hate gyms

I hate women who wear skimpy ass clothes, ass and tits all out and bouncing on the treadmill, and they get mad when you look

I hate guys who sit and talk with their friends in the machines, and when asked to move, they give you the "oh hell no" look. well, fuck off.

i hate people who leave the machines sweaty

i hate guys who wear tight shirts and shorts, wtf.

i hate guys who wear ghetto ass baggy jeans, knee length shirts, untied shoes, go in groups of 6 or more, stand around in a circle in the bench (the whole time) and bench once or twice and act like they are a team of Thug Rambos.

i hate guys who go to the gym, do a rep or 2, get shiny from a little sweat (which is more because of the temp/humidity in the room) and lounge around for half hour acting like they completed a triathlon.

MORE TO COME ! After this messages.

I hate it when you get losers trying to do 5x's their weight and do it all wrong. Of course they walk around thinking they are badasses.

i hate people who slam weights for no reason... there are times you have to, that time is not before you even do your first set and have a light ass 50 lbs curl bar! nothing throws me off more than to be half way through a rep and feel the floor tremble because someone slammed a dumbell.

and i use equipment for more than 10 minutes. sometimes doing 5 sets each for 2 people take a while, not my fault i beat you to it.

Equipment hogs. Unless its a treadmill or something of that nature. 10 minutes tops.I NEVER do that. Depending on the machine, I do one set, get up and step back. If someone comes and asks if I'm done, I'll tell them no but they can join in with me. I also never stay longer than 10 minutes at a machine....Depending on the machine though.

I guess I'm so used to sharing equipment whenever possible because my weight training coach in high school would slap our thoughts to hell if we EVER hogged a machine. Getting slapped on the neck hurt so bad.

lol people who get on the treadmill or the bike and try to go REALLY REALLY fast for like 30 seconds and realize that they cant handle that shit.... and slow down and sometimes leave. i actually think its fucking funny. i know sometimes they try to do quick sprints or something and that i understand but u always see someone trying to do something like that for the first time and i crack up

i crack up when i'm doing weights like dumbbells and i hear this dude behind me telling some other dude. "En cuba esto se hace asi asere", and then the other dude goes "asi ?". i'm like fucking great attarazana and his friends at the gym. not to mention the little pack of cubanitos who flog machines and for some reason try to do the same thing i do or me and my gym partner do. start off doing chest, incline, decline dumbbells and you see them next to you and when your missing a set they ask you, "oye cuanto te queda". i look at them and i tell them 2 more and there "oh ok asere, tomalo suave, voy a estar tomando agua". i look at them like oh ok w/e dude. i do my last set and just leave the 70-80lbs dumbbells on the floor.

once this kind of hot girl gets on the trendmill next to me. let me remind you i'm doing 12.0 incline and 4.5 in speed so i'm a bit busy on the machine. the trendmills are empty so i'm like oh ok i guess she wants to do a set with me or w/e. she goes "i need to loose weight and lifted up her shirt a bit". let me remind you she's skinny and my guy has more grease than she does in her whole body. i reply with, oh yeah you need to loose like 12 lbs. she's like really i'm like yeah and tell her in spanish "no esta en nada" ... haha yes i know i could have macked into her but i didn't, plus she's a bit of a air head and i've dealt with that in the past and i loose my patience

I think its funny when the ladies come to the gym wearing nothing with intentions to get men to stare, i usually look laugh and keep working out.

i hate people that ask how many sets you have left, then stand there staring at you til you finish (if they are using the machine for a different exercise, if not i let them jump in). if you stare at me to try to rush me, i will take longer.

I hate most gyms, when i was in Miami, it was Porkys or nothing here in Naples I go to Planet Fitness. And it doens't look anything like the one you poor basterds got on 107..that place looks like a crack house.

The Planet Fitness is here is nice clean and the people that go there are cool all the time. No ho's, minimum thugs (mostly late at night only) and awsome machines and free weights.

Plus they have paper towals and an alcohol/water spray to wipe down each machine ocne your down, it's a policy. They have them all around the gym so every bench is always clean.
