Annoying People in the Gym

Annoying People in the Gym

It seems there're always a few in every gym. I try not to be one of them. There is this one woman whose pure lack of gym etiquette never ceases to amaze me. Every single time she comes in, she'll commandeer several pieces of equipment at one time, by leaving her assorted gear on benches, weights out, etc. while she uses yet a completely different piece of equipment, often which (thankfully I guess) is the exercise of yapping her jaws, filling her water bottle, or going to the bathroom.

This is a very busy gym. People (myself included) have tried nicely to give her the message by asking if we can work in (with her towel or water bottle !) on something she's not actually using. Amazingly, she gets snippy about this! Other people have been more blunt, but nothing seems to get through to her. I've seen her ask to work in with someone, even when there is an identical piece of equipment standing vacant less than 10 feet away! She also has the annoying habit of hovering over something someone's already using, even though there are countless other vacant options available. AND this is at the same time she's left her stuff on something else! In case anyone's wondering, her workout routines are nothing special. She spends an inordinate amount of time chest pressing the 15# dumbbells (doing this for several years). Oh, and did I mention she'll hand out unsolicited workout tips to unsuspecting newcomers?!!!!

This doesn't bother me like it used to. Now I look forward to seeing what she'll do next because it's so unbelievable. I just had to share with the board, because I wondered if you guys have ever had anyone like this in your gyms. And no, I am NOT making this up...there really is one person at my gym who does all these things!

 

[skydancer]

I find that ripping a nice loud fart around these types clears the area real quick like.

Just try moving her stuff onto the floor, use the equipment, and then move it back. And pretend that you are deaf.

Or maybe you could hold up her towel, loudly announce "whose is this?? It stinks to high heaven!"

There is a guy in my gym that does the same thing, he leaves his weights on every possible piece of equipment, and then goes "hey, I'm using that" when you move it. I use my own advice, ignore him, and just go about my business.

Or, just thought of this, buy a cheap gym bag, put all of her stuff into it, and go and hand it to her. Tell her that you wouldn't want her to forget anything, or have someone else drinking out of her water bottle or whatever.

 

[Kaizen]

arrrrgh!!

A couple of my gym buds and I ganged up on this couple who do that shit at my gym..heeheehee we'd complained and teh manager had said something a couple of times but they are teh sort of money entitled personality types...you know they ones...nouveau riche with no couthe...they do the same routine every night take all the weights lay their stuff everywhere so basically we just did thier exact routine just ahead of them and put our stuff all over the benches and machines, took all the DBs and OBs they used and laid them around, stood around and chatted interrupted the sets they could get in...it was quite cleansing!! they left and went to complain to management but of course we had already done more than our share of complaining about them first so our manager basically told them to suck it up... if they were going to dish it they needed to take it...and they were lucky somebody hadn't bent a bar around their heads or redecorated their Beemer already... they've been pretty good since...

 

[MR. BMJ]

Oh oh....

1. All the people on them damn cell phones taking up space. I heard some guy the other night yelling with his woman on the phone because she didn't call him back. Needless to say, if he was using something I needed and were in my way, I would have bitch slapped his ass. At the same time, there were 2 more people talking on a cell phone. One guy was in the middle of a leg press set (?). I literally have to go into the gym with a "happier" attitude because if I don't, then one day I will go off on them. Anyway, I have been trying to find a place to bitch about this lately, so thanks for the thread.

[Bikini Mod]

BITCH, MOAN....BITCH, MOAN.

Goa ahead and rub into us about your HARDCORE gym, LOBO....see if I care!

Reminds of how I was told that I grunt too loudly and too frequently at the candy-ass gym I train at regularly. OK. Now they have a problem w/who I train with! I know, I know I shouldn't complain....I knew they would give me shit about this sooner or later, so I guess I should be glad that I got away w/it this long.

OK, I'll back up. Last summer a sales guy who was a little sweet on another woman I trained w/on occasion gave me a whole stack of "guest passes" so that I could continue to bring her in. (The guest passes are single use only.) Anyways, no one ever said anything about the fact that I would bring the same people on occasion to train w/me.
Well FC and IG have come to my gym w/me a few times over the past few months. This week passed the DICKHEADED salesguy (not the one who gave me the passes, obviously) said, "You gotta pay the fee, they've been here before."......Just because I pointed out to him that he had chicken legs once. Hey, He started it! He said something about the fact that I had let my underarm hair out of control. I was bulking and I didn't see the need to pay to get a wax when I wasn't going to be shooting ANYWAY.....So I said, "I'll get a wax today, but your legs will still be skinny!"

Maybe I shouldn't have said that......NAAAAAAH! He got REALLY PISSED! tee-hee

[djfitt]

you crack me up BM!!!

 

[Hardtail]

My major complaint is B.O.! Some of these guys think they are Major Players, but they stink so badly, it's really quite comical!
Guys, it's okay to shower BEFORE you go to the gym, if you stink! And deodorant is a must!! And PLEASE, do Not try to cover the stink with cologne!

 

[TEXASAMM]

OK,
My gym is horrible.I had this guy last week interupt me durring my heaviest set ever of laterals.( I really had to concentrate to do this set)I totally lost my focus I looked at him thru the mirror and then he asked me to move over so he could put his weights up.I couldn't beleive it.i told him after my set is complete.Do you know what he did?

He threw his weights down behind me.The whole gym was quiet and staring at us.I LOST IT!!!!

I tore into him!!
He came over an appolgized later.But he still didn't understand what he did wrong.He still thinks it is my fault because all he wanted was me to move over alittle bit ....unbelievable.

[TEXASAMM]

OK one more!!!!
I have to get this out for therapy reasons LOL.

We have alot of new people in the gym right
know you know new year.yada yada.

Well we have our share of older poeple.I guess in there late sixties.

Now they have as much right to be there as me. and even though they have no clue to what they are doing and they are just taking up space because they wont stick with it or fully understand what it really takes to change their body.

They still have as much right to take up space as I do......BUT..

When they take over the machine that I am working on with out asking if they can work in...and then talk to each other while they are moving there arms around with the weight and only switch arms when there is a lull in the conversation ...I GET UPSET.

why do some older people(not all just the ones I guess in my gym) think the have some extra rights to be selfish just because they have reached and older age?>????

I NEED HELP ,I dont go to the gym at peak hours and I dont go on monday or tuesday.

Someone please open a good gym in FT Worth TX!!!!!!!!!

OK I feel better I'm off to the gym!

There is this real hottie in my gym. She prances around in tight tanks and shorts/pants, has a serious attitude problem, and thinks that she is the hottest thing to walk the face of the earth. The problem: she is seriously overweight.

One day, she decides to enter into a competion with me on incline db press. At first I thought it was sorta funny. But, after a while it was really distracting (especially when she was standing between me and the mirror). She started obstructing my view and range of motion on purpose. Eventually, she tired of trying to get a rise out of me and she left. I finished my workout believing this was the end of the episode. But, of course not. I went into the locker room and there she was. Standing butt naked in the middle of the locker room talking on her cell phone. She then began to walk around, chatting away on her cell phone, and giving me dirty looks. By this time I am totally disgusted not only with seeing this woman naked but with her personality. There is no reason to talk on your cell in the gym, and there is also no reason to treat women with good physiques like shit.

There are also about a million little guys running around my gym with ILS. PLEASE, someone find a cure. There is also this 65 year old woman (who frequently wears bandaids on her forehead) who constantly yells at her husband on the phone about getting a divorce. Several guys who sound as though they are getting sodomized as they bench 100 lbs. They get up and then flex in the mirror so that all 125 lbs. can be admired by all. There is also this one dude who puts about 20 dimes each side on a squat bar, squats about once, then leaves the bar there. I think he is at the gym for about 30 minutes. Most of which is spent loading the bar full of dimes. And, yes there is also that huge fat guy who wanders around with his belt on at all times just in case he needs some extra support walking to the drinking fountain. MY GYM SUCKS!!! If I ever get around to it I am going to start a website featuring these gym clowns. I will post some pics of these idiots when I can. Although not of that fat chic naked, because that is just wrong. Thanks for letting me bitch. I needed that.

 

[monstertruck]

My gym has noooo shortage of the guys that like to study the weight I'm using and say "hmmf, that's a lot of weight...for a girl". (depending on their tone, I usually reply that it's my light day and I'm repping out)

 

[Bikini Mod]

Well Sista Singer I THOROUGHLY enjoyed your post!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!

[skydancer]

There is a gentleman who runs the local supplement store here in town and goes to my gym. He and his wife have been obviously working out hard core for years. He's got a smart mouth on him and she's pretty quiet but I like them both! He's HYUGE (and I'm sure all natural ) He was benching Iron God's nemisis db's this morning...he did one set and made a big show of panting, grimacing, saying how much it hurt. So I said casually as he walked by me "stop moaning ya wimp" tee hee...his workout partner kind of groans and says "oh thanks a lot, now he'll be a bear the rest of the morning"

Okay I'm a smart ass - he knows damn well just one of those db's would crush me. He's not really annoying, I just couldn't believe that I said that to him. He says "she's right, I need to stand up and be a man"

WarLobo and bikinimom: Glad you enjoyed my post.

I totally forgot to mention my favorite gym clown in my previous post. He belongs to a subclass of the "professional" bodybuilder, called the Napoleon. I am sure there is at least one in every yuppy gym, so I will speak generally. He is between 5' and 5'4", 40-55, wears 1-2 tight tanks, tight shorts, socks up to the middle of their calf, wears glasses although on "dangerous" days could wear contacts and is bald or balding. He differs from the "professional" body builders because he is short, bald, only grunts occasionally, has the molester mustache and looks like a perv.

Typical Training for the Napoleon: It is all about circuit training baby. Does max weight, 4-6 reps for 15 sets. Has two different training routines: abs/arms and abs/legs/arms, 7 days a week. Gains? what are those
Hobbies: gawking at women in the gym, inventing new exercises on a weekly basis, frequenting porn sites on the internet.
Can be seen at...: my gym, porn shops, NAMBLA meetings, playgrounds.
Occupation: elementary school gym teacher
Aggressiveness: 0


I also saw an entirely new species yesterday. Frat boy with ICS (imaginary chest sydrome). Again, no known cure.

Age: 18-23
Routine: Bench press, 25-40 sets
Clothing: long pants and a quasi wife beater. All by Tommy Hilfiger, Polo, J Crew, or Abercrombie and Fitch.
Can be seen at....: universities, clubs, frat houses, coffee joints
Hobbies: talking about women all the time so that everyone knows he's heterosexual, talking at Starbucks on his cell phone about socialism, talking about the good old days at his prep school
Aggressiveness: 2 but thinks he's a 10

Again, thanks for letting me wallow in my misery.

[skydancer]

BWAHAAAA - there are SOOOO many of the "frat boys with ICS at my gym its hysterical!!! Especially in the afternoons...don't have a napolean that I know of but some pretty damn close to it.

There is a team of guys who show up at the gym every day and never never never work legs...what would you classify those chicken wings as?

There is an exotic species of pencil neck known as the "tank-top Faber Castell". This pencil neck is very shy about displaying his pathetically small quadraceps. He hides his emaciated stems beneath designer wind pants at all times. Some subspecies of this breed hide their legs within the folds of 1980s baggy "clown pants". The "tank-top faber-castell" is predisposed to developing ILS, and he is excessively proud of his 13 inch biceps. Because of the severity of his condition, the TTFC will compensate for his pathetic lower body development by performing between 84 and 150 sets of bench press(half reps) and bicep curls. Many TTFC are also under the impression that they are "gangsters" and will wear $.30 gold chains and display the elastic of their designer boxer shorts while developing their truly massive upper bodies.

 

[riptchick]

LOL @ Marla....you just described everyone at my gym. Funny stuff. We should think about opening an Elite Fitness Women's Board Gym--centrally located of course.

It could be closed to the public.

Lockers with our handles engraved. Nice touch.

Dumbells for even IG, Lobo and all the heavy hitters.

CHALK everywhere.

Squat racks galore. Actual squat racks not a row of smith machines.

Grunting from women encouraged.

No pansy music.

and most importantly none of the peeps ya'll described.

 

[luv2workout]

LOL @ Marla! That was too funny! Loved the ICS - imaginary chest syndrome..Im gonna have to remember that one!

Its so funny that we are all so far apart from each other, but it seems as if you guys are always describing MY gym!!!

 

[Fennec]

You're killing me with this thread.... don't stop!! Too TOO funny!!! My husband and I had an experience with a dude that put his towels on equipment, then walked away and chit-chatted elsewhere. We tried to be polite and asked if we could work in, but NO WAY, he was USING the equipment, he said. That gym also had really funky sweat-laden carpet. Luckily, we moved to a different state.

 

[Molly Malone]

Ms. Singer, you are the greatest! I get to avoid most of those people because I work out between 6 & 9 am, only us junkies are there that early. But if I work out in the afternoon- there they are. What would you call someone who is constantly moving equipment around? We seem to have that problem when we walk in in the morning and everything has been rearranged. Pisses me off, esp. when they move the preacher bench to face away from the mirror. Hey, I am pround of those bi's, and want to see them work!

Anyhow, I don't know if this certainly counts directly as annoying, but it certainly got my goat. So yesterday was Molly's worldwide chest day, and since I started a mass cycle, I was playing aournd with the weights to see where my %s are, etc. And this woman walks by, mentally adds up my weights on the bench press, and tells me "I would love to be that strong."

So there I was feeling pretty darn proud of myself, when she said....

"Only without so much muscle."

I thought that my partner was going to wet his pants.

Later,

Molly

Some people just don't think before they open their yap. I had a fat girl tell me the other day in the locker room "thin people shouldn't be allowed to walk around" (I was wearing my pants and a bra at the time blow drying my hair) I had to bite my tongue in two so I wouldn't say "fat people shouldn't be allowed to walk around" (She was wearing the same outfit as me) This is the same fat girl who said "if I lift heavy I get absolutely ripped and huge" This girl hasn't seen a muscle in her freaken life!!

[Future One]

I just spent the last half hour laughing here!! i like the ICS bit the best!!!

But the ones that piss me off the most are the fat fucking asses that think they are "big", you know the ones 50" chest, 50" waist, 18" arms but no definition whatsoever.

I REALLY hate how the general public can see these fat pieces of shit as "intimidating" it's pathetic!!

"Mr. Phillips, are you honestly telling me that people are really going to believe that I'm the 'before,' and he's the 'after'?"

Johnny had spent the best years of his life there, playing with the other children, running, laughing, and experiencing the wonders of nature through innocent eyes. He even sneaked his first kiss there from Becky Thompson while standing underneath the slide, so there was no way in hell he was going to let CostCo put another store on "his" playground.

 

[MarlaSinger]

The gym is home to many rare species of homo-sapiens, one of the most impressive, yet very common, is known as "Das Wunderkind". DW is not just a fine physical specimen, he is a GENIUS at his craft. He has built his powerful, awe-inspiring physique by way of revolutionary exercise tecniques. These techniques include the one-legged smith machine squat. On one occassion, I witnessed DW performing this movement with exceptional grace while simultaneously scratching his testicles. It was breathtaking.
It is important to note that DW is very territorial. He will mark his territory by carefully placing one of his many gym towels upon a piece of equipment, by profusely sweating upon it, or both.
However, what is even more impressive is his mating ritual. Whenever females enter the immediate vicinity of Das Wunderkind, he will puff his chest out, begin yelling very loudly about asinine topics, and scream as if he is vacating a particularly painful bowel movement during each and every "rep" that he performs. DW will also display his masculine dominance by asking potential mates if they need help stripping down their weight while wearing a shit-eating grin on his face.

[pittbull2]

Hey it pays us bros to visit the womens board to know what not to do in the gym haha.

 

[MrRock]

How about 'gym gorilla'? Guy with a shaved head and compulsorily ugly. Grunts and groans at either the squat rack or bench with at least one 'head turning' enormous groan during each workout. His face alternates between red, vein popping strain, or a permanent grumpy scowl. Repels women, children, and anyone with an IQ over 100. His annoying habits in the gym are hogging the squat racks and benches, and leaving his giant dumbells on the floor as a guaranteed tripping device.
Anyone else have 'gym gorillas'?

 

[BigPappa]

Personally, I can't stand people in the gym that stare. I don't like being gaulked at and it annoys me to death when people stare at me. Seriously, I am not trying to be conceited HONESTLY. It just annoys me. I am probably the most fit person in there (for now) and miles apart from most of the dudes in there so I guess I understand.

Ladies, how do you deal with finding men? I mean, I live in a major city and there are NO guys with decent bods around. In clothes, they may look decent but when the shirt comes off (god forbid show legs) it is all nasty and hairy. Shit, take a look at the pics that get posted on the chat and anabolics boards. Some of the ugliest mugs and bods I have seen and most of the guys praise them for being "cool dude", "look awesome bro", etc... What a bunch of bullshit.

 

[jakbear]

i was at the gym today and thought of this topic. there is this girl who's maybe 17, 18tops, who thinks she is the shit! she goes to the gym wearing her nothing but her sports bra with her big boobs hanging out and tight pants and then procedes to prance around like she's the best looking thing that ever walk in the place. she's at the gym for like 1hr-2hrs and the most exercise ive seen her do is MAYBE 10mins walking on the treadmill! the remanding time she is there, it is spent socializing with all the guys. it is so funny. she thinks she's all that yet she has muscle tone to show...just her flat flabby stomach that she loves to show off.
im sure there's one of these in every gym but i thought i share this with the board.

 

[VixenVenus]

I hate bitches who wear make up and do their hair just to go to they gym. They also wear a cute little outfit to the gym too. Who are they trying to impress in the first place?

[sinnsation]

Now it sounds a little closer to my gym(s)
The gym I go to in the evening there are two types: the ones that are like 15yrs who got a one week pass so they get all they're girlfriends together and go in a big pack, they hog up all the cardio equip. it takes em like 5 mins to figure out how to start the damn Elipitical trainer, after not one of the 8 of 'em can figure it out they go hog the tredmills then scream across at eachother 1rst. on how long they are all gonna do, then about which of the "bitches" are anorexic....
Then, there is the "Boobie-Girl" crew,
These are the ones that all have implants,
Hair fluffed higher than Carmen Electra, and they wear more make-up than I do when I clubbin in Las Vegas(which is a hell of a lot), and dont let em get near the Sauna: all the make-up comes off, and the Xanadu Brazilian thongs come on!!! oh god, just what I want a bunch of Nasty,Beer-Gut from hell speedo wearing, sweatin like a pig ol
bastards (sorry, but thats what a lot of the guys are like in the Sauna at my gym) gettin woodies from looking me, YUK!

Then the gym I go to in the morning before work,
you have all the women that are like a size 0/1, ya'know,
the ones that are like 5'8" 97 lbs,
they bring in they're Laptops, documents, briefcases & cell flop all they're shit down along side the stepper and do like 2 hrs.
at warp 10, while screaming into the phone about Motions, Mergers, Stocks, and these types come in Female and Male forms.
Why cant I find a "normal gym, to go to"
This is why I love weekends, I can go a like Midnight and hardly any idiots

 

[blueyedkowgrl]

i can relate to all of those types of people! i go to the gym at 5:00am because i cannot stant to go in evening. there are so many kids there who are just shopping for their next date, or the women who are at the gym with a full face of make up and enough perfume to choke a horse. there is one guy who goes to my gym who looks just like herman munster and he's been going to the gym for quite some time and has a personal trainer. well this guy looks almost exactly the same as he did when he started, except for the fact that he tans now and wears those hideous string tank tops! and he grunts a groans so loud i am waitng for him to give birth!i don't care about people making noise we all do, but lord i can hear this guy over jimmy hendrix on my headphones. and they are turned up as loud as they go!

 

[Model1]

I go to two gyms to get away from some of gym freaks BUT they're at EVERY GYM! I try to get to the gym by 5 or 5:30 a.m also.

The one girl who comes into the gym with flesh colored tights and a g-string leotard. She wears this outfit on her chest day, she lays on the bench with her legs wide open.

The dirty old men (the young guys also, it's social hour for them)who waits patiently for you to start doing cardio and just "happens" to get on the piece of cardio equpment besides you and proceeds to annoy the hell out of you GRRRRRRRR!

The trainers and self proclaimed gym gurus who offer you unsolicated Steroid & training advice. Try a cycle of test, do lasix before a competition, do box squats and arm presses at the same time, etc, etc.

The people who stares at themselves in the mirror. Usually it a young kid who think he has abs, he stands in front of the mirror trying to do an ab & thigh pose blowing out. He has no abs to speak of LOL!

 

[somewhat_damaged]

theres this guy in my gym who started talking to me one day out of the clear blue sky.

i was getting dressed and he goes: "hey!" but that fat bastard didn't even look at me. so just in case he was talking to me i said "hey." just to be polite. then i hear him say "i just took a week off." but again the guy never looked at me. not even in my direction. he was looking at the floor. so i say (and not looking at him mind you) "oh yeah." and so finally the guy looks at me and he says "yeah, i don't think i lost any muscle mass, just strenth." so i'm trying to figure out just why the hell this guy got it into his mind that i give a shit. then i say to him (as an obvious stab at him because he's so fat) "well, nothing's harder than burning fat." and the butterball has the fat nerve to say "nah, you just gotta find the right thermogenic." thinking to myself that he obviously had yet to find that thermogenic, he caught himself in all his fatness and said "well, uhh...actually...i lost 45 pounds already." but if this guy would have actually had 45 extra pounds added on to him at that time, he would have been too fat to talk. and the guy sure could talk." he then tried to pimp the local supplement store on me and tell me that GNC doesn't know shit (which of cousre i have suspected from time to time depending on what store i go to, but the way this guy was talking, you would think that Mr. GNC killed his dog or sum shit). so just then, at that very moment, the owner of the store he ws trying to pimp on me walks in and he introduces me to him. i felt like i had been ambushed in infomercial, testimonial hell. from now on, when refering to that guy to my girlfriend, i address him as none other than "fat commercial kid."

also there's this guy who can't stop talking about how great his trainer is. and he completely disregards the signs that are posted on the steamroom door which state towels and/or bathing suits must be worn in the steamroom. this asshole goes in there with his cock hanging out, proceeds to sing the praises of his trainer, talk less than humbley about his bullshit diet, and then leave with his hairy ass shaking and bouncing around as he walks away. fukkin disgusting.

then theres this group of guys who go in there every single day, take up all the inclines, declines, and benches, work on their chests ridiculously, stack dimes on the bar like it was the only weight denomination in the gym, and bitch about their pump being TOO BIG after they're done. these guys are known collectively as "the chest krew."

the other day this lady walked into the gym with so much make up on her over-tanned face that she looked orange. and on top of that, she had fixed her hair in such a way that half of her face was covered by her over teased, over relaxed, chemically bombarded hair. then, when asked if she would take her picture for her club ID, she imphatically declned, saying that she was having a bad day. WELL NO SHIT SHE WAS HAVING A BAD DAY!! SHE WAS ORANGE!!!" but with all the effort she exhausted into the way she was dressed and groomed, you might think she wanted to look that way.

ahh, but my favorite gym person of all is that little runt asshole employee who is in charge of recruiting (they actually take memebership seriouly, army style and shit, enlistment is paramount). this little rat bastard will always convieniently leave out some important piece of contract information, try to screw you, and, when he actually attempts a workout himself, he will slap the working weight around for five minutes prior to his set, call the weight obscene names like "bitch" and "whore", and then proceed to embarress himself by failing to complete the second rep. no wonder he's so bitter towards the weight, he can't lift it (and i'm talking 40 pound curls here). to think that this guy actually got hired. i used to think i had a pretty kool gym but i guess my gym really does sukk.

you know what really burns my ass?? At my gym we have a group of young ladies who work at the front desk. and from time to time when i go to the gym in the evening, these lovely ladies have dinner at the front desk. now, these ladies have the "kahunas" to eat Pizza and mc donalds at all the food that most of us folks cannot eat. The smell is ALL over the gym. i cannot understand why on earth these ladies would eat that kind of food at the front desk with all of us walking by. I think it is cruel and one of these days a person who is on a strict diet is going to lose thir minds and jump over that desk and eat their dinner! (not that i would do anything like that! LOL)
