Those people who judge me when I sniff the seat of the upright bike after a hottie has finished her 30 minute sprint session. I mean, c’mon!!!
Also, those narcissists that parade around the gym, chests out, checking out if anyone’s looking at them..  |

Dropping the weights,either free or on resistance machines.Its not just about lifting it,but controlling it on way down fella.
Dropping it just damages equipment/floor and makes you look a Muppet lifting far more than your abilities  |

Don't take pictures in the lockers.
Don't sit there for 10 minutes tinkering with your phone whilst others are drying themselves off. |

The most annoying thing is actually going... Oh, and it's soooo boring when you're actually there.
I much more likely to be fit if I incorporate physical activity into everyday life. And much more likely to stick to it too. |

They get up 2 hours early for work to squeeze in a session at the gym, or can't come out this evening as they've got to go to the gym, they look after themselves, oh lookat my amazing phyisique in the mirror blah blah blah
Grrrr.... and breathe  |

Not something that annoys me a such, just makes me laugh -
When lads all wear the same gym 'uniform' Trackies, vest and a Cap..... all similar colours and brands.
Also when they seem to get confused by me training legs and doing bodyweight workouts - Yes there are other things to train than chest or biceps! ( also when i do a long cardio session) |

Ever increasing chains of friends who monopolise one piece of equipment after another. It can start with just a couple, then another joins, and another and another, alternating their sets. Some artificial intelligence is optimising their time to enter the gym, for maximum coordination but maximised inconvenience for others. |

When people wander around limbering up for ages but never actually go on anything.
When someone is on the bench doing hundreds of reps with an empty bar 
When people groan and grunt like they're being fisted by an elephant. |

One thing that annoys, but amuses me at the same time (doesn't happen in my regular gym)
The White Knights!
The ones who try to show off, go a bit heavier, then try to give me pointers & offer advice.
Bless em! |

People moaning about dropping weights... news flash... some people go to workout. This may include heavy weights and lifting to failure!
Never seen a professional weight lifter gently place the weights back down. |

Absolutely, but you would have to be a complete cockwomble to mention said Ferrari at every opportunity.
The local gym i use is full of posey types who spend their time looking at themselves. Not a conversation in any of them |

The treadmill lot who run on high speed for one minute and jump on the plastic sides for five to rest and wonder why they're not losing weight. Just set it to what's necessary for you and not give a shit about who's watching? You look like a cock doing that shit anyway. |

As ive just started back at a gym what annoys me most is being the half dead lump of sweaty mess trying to force himself not to give up. (Being honest i'll always be like that at the gym) |

Coming back to the lifting platform after I've quickly gone for a piss to find someone has picked up and moved all my kit and is now using it.
I've been gone for less than a minute and all my kit was there, quite obvious someone is using it.
Expect to be told to fuck off and let me finish. |

People who are training on their own and ehen you ask how long they have on a certain oeice of equipment/machine, they give you the most miserable look and grumble that they have about 34 more sets to do  |

Throwing weights onto the floor/into the rack "
Yes! Dropping weights! If you need to throw it on the floor, it’s too heavy for you! |

I was on a treadmill once and the guy next to me opened up an M&S BLT sandwich as he walked on the treadmill
I eventually had to get off as his heavy breathing was causing the smell of his masticated beverage to waft in my face |

"They don't sell ale."
My gym actually does haha has a couple of options on tap.
I go to the Nuffield lol
I also hate people who drop the weights... I can understand if someone has gone for something too heavy.. but when it’s the same couple of guys doing it all the time it gets annoying.
People who try to lift excessive weight with completely incorrect form... they think it makes them look hench... in reality it make them look like a knob and is just likely to cause them a back injury... a couple of weeks ago saw a guy “bench pressing” 160kg... he was only doing 3 reps at a time for a start cuz it was far too much weight... also rather than keeping him bum on the Bench and his chest raised, his chest was flat and his arse was 2 foot in the air... I was waiting for the cries of pain when he injured him self.
And people that take up the machines for ages.
You don’t need a 10-20min break between sets. 60-90 seconds is recommended.
Again a couple of weeks ago I couldn’t do one of my work outs cuz a guy was sitting on a machine doing one set every 30 mins.
I did all of my other workouts on my training plan whilst I was waiting and in the end gave up waiting for him to finish. |

Girls who walk on the treadmill in full makeup, up a very gentle incline on the lowest speed setting for half an hour, flicking through magazines and chatting...while I’m having a coronary on the treadmill next to them, sweat pouring down my back and soaking my hair.
And people who choose the bike or treadmill next to me, when the gym is empty. C’mon dude. You don’t need a gym buddy. Move along now as you’re going at a different speed to me and it’s putting me off my stride.
Grrrr....
Right, off to the gym |

Sweaty old guys who don’t wipe down benches or machines after them.
Dropping weights when you could easily place it down.
Old ladies walking down the swimming pool in a big group.
Some daily rages at my gym |

Are they really resting for 5 minutes or they just doing hiit.
Nothing really annoys me at the gym cos I have headphones in and don't pay attention to what other people are doing. |

For me, it's the pretentious annoying personnel who at the joining stage won't listen to my medical limitations on certain equipment and proceed to recommend using the stuff I cannot.
Then they look at me as if to say, "I know my job, I know what I am talking about".
No, they don't.
Unless they change their mind-set, that's it, stop joining! They lose a customer! |

I had one of those. Told him I can't cycle so he said I should use the recumbent bike, which is still cycling. |

"Empire builders. Last week one bloke was using the squat rack, he had his jacket and water bottle on 1 bench and 3 sets of dumbells on a second bench."
Hell yes, particularly. The posing twat thinks everyone is watching him when in reality they are waiting for the kit he is hogging and not using. Utter wankers! |

When its clearly busy and its clear that equiptment demand is overshadowed by equiptment supply, then you have someone half arsing it, 5 min breaks between sets, or someone chatting to someone taking up space where you could improvise a work out.
Come on I go to get my heart pumping not for the equivalent of a knock around at the park. |

I don't mind it if someone is clearly pushjng themselves and its more of a exhauasted inhale, exhale grunt. That said I get annoyed and distracted by the over the top ones. |
