That half hour you're spending on the elliptical at level -1 shouldn't come between you and your unlimited nighttime minutes. After all, talking is a good toner for your jaw muscles.
Group fitness gossips.
I'm so glad that you had a great date with John, really, but do you honestly want a room of 20 strangers to know that he's not the best kisser? Let's give John his dignity back, and me, my ability to get through a spin class without images of Carrie running through my mind.
Too cool to clean guy.
Loud shallow breathing and hot sweaty bodies can be incredibly sexy, just not in this environment, so if you could mop of the puddle of sweat you've left on the chest press machine that would be great. Thanks!
"Can I work in?" Guy.
No you may not. This whole thing takes me like two minutes and there are a bajillion other big manly machines in here. I'm not going to change back to my modest 45 lbs. of resistance after you show off your big strong muscles by pulling down more than I weigh after Thanksgiving dinner. Please wait your turn, or work in with that guy over there, he likes in-working as well.
Better than thou trainers.
Yes you're cool, you get to wear the polo shirt with the gym logo, now can you please go do something besides crowd the water fountain?
Fitness instructor ass-kissers.
I've been both the instructor and the instructee in fitness classes and I'm just going to assume that brown-nosing is a throwback to our adolescent selves, but there are no As to be had here. As far as I know getting on your knees and puckering up doesn't do much for toning, so how 'bout those lunges?
Gym pick-up guy.
There's nothing like running your fourth quasi-boring mile on a treadmill and having some greasy dude that's barely touched the stair climber--for fear of messing up his perfectly gelled hair--come over and start a conversation. I'd love to make out with you sir, but my tongue is currently stuck to the bottom of my mouth from dehydration. Why not talk to the girl on the cellphone over there; I'm sure she's perfectly hydrated.
I sing out loud with my iPod lady (or man).
"Gloria" is wonderful song, but let's leave it to Laura Branigan, shall we?
"Are we in the army?" instructors:
I guess some people like tough love, but I really hate being yelled at and degraded by fitness instructors. Please don't treat me like the scum that I really am. Please treat me like the patron who's constant support of this establishment provides you with wages; wages that keep you clad in those super sexy camouflage bike shorts.
"I'm so fat" but really "I'm so hot."
Welcome to high school ladies and gentlemen; in that corner we have the gym-bunny clique known for their perfectly matching sports bra-sneaker combos. In their natural habitat they like to talk about how fat their size-two ass is getting. Please, make no sudden movements, but if you do come in contact with them, gently pet their ego and walk slowly away.

6. And did I mention, the guy that always seems to pee in the floor and not the toliet!!!! Guess who gets to clean that too!!!! Yea me!!!!!
I will never understand the people that talk on their cell phones or even have them with them at their machines. The gym is like the only time ALL day that I am not accessible via email, text, or phone. I am so happy to leave my blackberry in my locker.... I'll never understand why people can't just leave behind for an hour!
Don't forget the guy who does some sort of loud groan or grunt with every exercise! I have been known to make a few noises when eeking out that last rep, but every time - ? Yes, we all know you're working hard dude; now keep it down!

#2!!!!!!!! At my old gym... There was this old man who kept a set of 10 100 lb plates locked up in the back of the room. He bought them just for himself and left them there so he could use them for the leg press. He spent 45 minutes walking them over to the machine, wrapped his knees up with some weird colorful wraps, and then did 10 sets of barely moving his legs presses. EVERY OTHER DAY!!!!!! And that is ALL he ever did. EVER! Of course it took him another 45 minutes to put them all back. Guess that is where he got his workout in. Heaven forbid he ever lost that key to the lock!

Yes, and it is a very uncomfortable, makes you wanna call the police because you feel violated type noise.
1. The nasty twins: two ladies who meet to workout together and give nasty looks to all the other women (even though they are probably in the worst shape).
2. The boys club: group of guys who just hang out on the machines and talk for hours!!!
3. The show-off: Girl in tight small clothes who really shouldn't be wearing them, but talks loudly so everyone notices her.
4. the garbage dumpers: um, if you are too lazy to throw away your water bottle, then don't come here.
5. The nudist: Yeah, I am glad you are all hygienic, but put your darn clothes on after you take a shower... or at least wear a towel.
how about the person who does the same exercise but made by a different company...ummm dont they know they just did the same thing 2 times....lol lol lol
the guys who dont rerack the weight
the people who leave after I ask to work in w/ them...[/COLOR]
Oh gosh, I'm ALWAYS reracking the weights! The manager came up to me the other day and she's like "You know, you don't have to do that"...I just kinda looked at her, and said, "Well, I'm tripping over them, so I might as well"
It's so annoying! I mean if they can lift that 45 plate to load it on the bar, they can certainly take it off!
How about the "Gawker"...
Dude, I know it's not a coincidence that you position yourself directly behind me while I'm doing bent over rows/good mornings/reverse extensions. Oh yeah, and see that large reflective material just ahead of me? That's called a mirror...and I see you staring at my ass you douche.

The funniest I've seen so far is a dude grunting like a boar in heat doing...wait for it...CHINS! Yes, I said it, chins. Really? Is that necessary?

I have two of these at my gym. It makes me CRAZY. I'm sorry, but if you have the time to spend 25 minutes loading the damn leg press with every 45lb plate in the weight room, you can spend another 25 racking them!
What about the husband hunters? You know, the girls who come in with hair and make up done to the hilt, wearing nothing but itty bitty shorts and a sports bra, lots of jewelry. They get on the treadmill and crawl for 45 minutes, because, after all, they worked hard on the hair and make up, no need to ruin it with sweat. Weights? Puh-leeeze. Don't want to break a nail.

LOL!! Omg! This happened in the gym the other day!
I was doing SLDL's, and there was absolutely NO ONE behind me (I was by the dumbbells on purpose, because all the guys were by the open space)...so I'm doing my sets, and these two guys (who work out together, I suppose) sit RIGHT BEHIND ME and just stare at me the whole time. I was so annoyed! I switched areas, and a few minutes later they were back again, except trying to look a little more "discreet"...except I can STILL see them through the mirrors! Geesh!
These are sooo funny!
How about the scrawny character who comes in wearing throw back short colorful gym shorts and then hits machines that require more leg lifting than one on short shorts should be doing! Not a pleasant sight!!!! Trying to get thru my sets without vomitting and his manhood or unmanhood does not help!!!
wow reading all these make me glad that I work out at home. the only thing I have to contend with is sharing the gym, when my husband wants to workout the same time as me. I mean shesh ka bob I dont like sharing
[COLOR="Purple"]tonight...
young guys were working out but one was into fixing his hair under his hat...
Cursed like a sailor and I looked at him as if I was his mom....lol
I also saw him sitting on equipment and txting...lol[/COLOR]
DUDES my gym has a guy we call "spandex jesus"
He has really long grey dirtyish hair and his face is quite thin, his head looks like Jesus and he wears a rainbow colored thong OVER top of his spandex shorts.
we also have a girl called "crazy linda" she wears a big like mickey mouse hoodie from the 80s and purple spandex, everytime she comes in she brings some random bag filled with crap, dog food one day.. oh she also wears a poker player type visor on occasion. She is known throughout all the 13 city of edmonton facilities, and EVERYONE calls her crazy linda.
Ohh creepy old man retired cop dude who picks his nose/talks to me about hitler/burps etc..
I guess these aren't generic, these are just my facility patrons...oh well, we're a very special gym
OHH gross guy who eats inbtween his workout FRICK, does some weights, goes to the cafeteria and eats some nasty protien yogurt thing then comes back and does some more weights, like WTF GO AWAY
ya I have about 100000 more, but I'll spare you
