Gym pet peeves

edit: posted this on the wrong board...oop

PUT THE PHONE DOWN!  lol

If you can't work out for 30, 45, 60 min. without talking on your phone, you have screwed up priorities.  A workout should be a mental and physical release of stress and life.  Yes, they can suck but think positive and try to embrace it and what you're doing for your body.

Just put the phone away.

I hate when people put their stuff by a machine or a station, then leave.  Are they staking claim to that machine?  Can I use it?  Are they coming right back?  Are they doing something else and forgot their stuff?  I don't know!

I sometimes leave my stuff by machines because I do most of my workouts in supersets or circuits and it gets annoying to have to carry it around.  I don't expect that no one will use the machine while I'm gone (but sometimes I secretly hope they won't )

1- When people let their weight slam down.

2-When people put the weights in the wrong place or don't put them away at all.

3-Guys that grunt very loud sounding like they are either having sex or developing a hernia while lifting so much weight they can only do maybe 3 reps (this is also the group that normally lets there weights fall very loud).

4-I agree on the lady's walking around naked or doing their hair while naked. Most are not good looking and most have a bush that is about 7 inches long. USE A TRIMMER PLEASE! I shower at a gym and keep a towel on tell I have at least my underwear and bra on. I do find girls attractive (I'm married so I only look) and I still have yet to see any girl walking around naked that I thought wow thanks for letting me look. As far as thinking wow that has burned an image into my mind that I did not want...yea had that a few times.

I have to admit I am one of those that is on the phone sometimes. My feeling is that I am not able to have the person with me so I talk to them on the phone just like I would if they were there. I try to make sure I don't talk louder than normal and I figure if it helps me work out for 40 minutes rather than 20-30 as I don't get bored sorry to bother you but it helps me.

I hate your top three with a passion too!!! And, OMG the 7" inch bush (ROFLMAO). What is up w/ these women? If you are not going to wax it off, then at least trim that muff to a reasonable length!!

LOL!! These comments are hysterical! There is one girl at my gym who wears shorts so short that her ass cheeks hang down. Its weird and gross. I have also caught a glimpse of a guy's balls coming out of his shorts while sitting on a weight machine. Cover up people!

I used to train this guy who wore those really short, shorts (like Richard Simmons) and OMG when I would stretch him I could see his balls through the lining of his shorts. It was so f***ing disgusting!!! When I eventually told him and the rest of my clients that I was leaving that gym, he propositioned me! He was married and he knew I was too!!! He was so disgusting!! Just thinking about him makes me want to barf!!!

Oh that is nasty! I swear guys must know that their junk is on dispay and they do it on purpose. Seriously....what if I went to the gym with no bra and my boobs were hanging out for everyone to see? These people must know before they walk out of the house that they are giving a show and do it anyway.
