Thread: Biggest pet peeve in the gym?

One jackass in particular really pisses me off. He likes to do pullups on the bar attached to the cable cross even though there are like 20 other places to do them. This same guy also sometimes does supersets where one exercise is on the first floor and the other is on the second floor. If you are wondering why the gym does nothing to stop him, this is Northampton MA and he is Asian. No one is ever going to say anything. Same goes for the women that sit on the leg press for 30 minutes texting, right in front of the sign that says you can't text while sitting on the machines.

People that take the locker right next to you in the change room despite there being an entire wall of lockers available.

Or those that take all the weights for leg press and can only barely move it (about 1/billionth of a rep).

Or those that don’t wipe down machines or benches after use.

Basically, like someone posted above, anyone else in the gym.

last week this pretty good looking red head chick was at the gym maybe 20-24 yr and she REEKED like a dirty hamster cage. It was like I was punched in the face by the odor. It was a legit 8 foot radius of hamster bedding around her, had to evacuate the dumbbell area.

groups of ppl or ppl gathering dumbells in 1 spot and hogging them for a while.
multiple ppl taking a piece of equipment but taking their time or just using it as a socialization spot
