Things I hate at the gym.

[Phteven]

So many comments in this thread are making me grateful to belong to a women's only gym.

Keike, not all gyms are like that. We have lots of retired women and women at the start of their weight loss journey at my gym and no-one makes them feel out of place.

Yeah, I think a women's only gym would be different, somewhere like Curves. I'll try it one day, when I actually have money

But then there's the old saying -

"You wouldn't worry so much about what people think about you if you knew how little they are actually thinking about you".

I imagine people at the gym are much more worried about what they look like/are doing, than giving a toss about anyone else!!

people who do a set of something and then go weight themselves. Then do another set. And then weigh themselves.

People who stare.

People who hog equipment

People who copy what you're doing with your personal trainer - seriously dude, if you like what we're doing so much pay for a session with him! My program is designed for my injuries and probably won't suit you!

People who HAVE to get on the machine next to you when there are 8 other free ones.

The intimidating guys who give you that "look" and try to make you feel like you don't belong.

I have a long list!

Falling over after getting off the cross trainer, a la Bridget Jones....

People who read magazines whilst running flat out on a treadmill - seriously? Who can ACTUALLY read a friggin magazine and jump up and down at the same time? ;p

Forgetting clean undies is soooo bad!

Shower rooms without enough ventilation..I hate getting sweatier drying myself in a humid room than I did working out...blergh!
