"You see some weird shit
You do indeed. Life's rich tapestry. "
Exactly that... I'm just trying to get back into the exercise habit after a very long time of being a lazy fucker.... And find myself people watching... All ages shapes sizes abilities colours some amazingly weird lifts and exercises and outfits and behaviours... The confident ones the timid ones... That one over there in the corner with the spray on lycra... |

And the dickhead doing half reps on the leg press with 10 plates each side that he walks away from after finishing without re-racking them? For example... |

I caught someone from work skiving in the gym the other day. I had a day annual leave and you should have seen him run |

It's the ones who lounge about on the machines taking selfies after pressing a few kg a couple of times then start huffing and puffing and flexing their muscles that make me chuckle |

"I dont think I've seen anything weird in the gym I go to. The only thing I did notice that was different to the norm was a man walking backwards on the treadmill."
It's good for your knees apparently, I wouldn't know as haven't tried it |

"The people at my gym say there's a really ugly strange woman goes but I've never seen her.
I thought this was funny 
We have a couple like that in our gym but we always seem to miss them "

I think membership charges should increase exponentially, commensurate with the number of weights they don't re-rack. |

"Mobile phones should be banned in the gym especially when on equipment
I listen to music/podcasts through my phone. I wouldn't like phones to be banned for that reason."
And I use an app to track my workouts and view my plan. Am I supposed to write it all down? It's not 1970!  |

Thanks Gertie, you too  . I can be scary at the gym, especially if some man has done something silly and I laugh a little too much |

Lazy fuckers who don't re-rack, should get onto a national register that's as shameful as the sex offenders register. |

Harsh, but fair!
To be fair, I go to two gyms and everyone is brilliant in one and wouldn't dream of not re-racking. The other one, much less so! They'd full up your register pretty quickly! |

I’m sure we’d all collate the same list of annoyances, agree with all mentions so far; not racking used bells and plates has to be the most annoying!
That said, how many of you notice PT’s, gym staff, people paid to be in the gym etc totally ignoring poor form? I train in SE Asia nowadays and it’s absolutely rife here, even worse than the UK. I’ve seen people injure themselves whilst an “alleged” PT session is happening two metres away!
Blows my mind!
Oh and cell phones/selfies……just no!  |
