C~Q I take the BP class occasionally as in 1 or 2 a week. I really enjoy it even though I'm pretty useless at it (I'm a returning beginner ITMS). It annoys me too when I see people leaving early. Why bother taking a class if you can't stay for the whole time? Why not do something else instead? It surprises me when there is less then half the class left at the end.
Thanks R...sometimes people have a real reason why they have to leave early...but it's only polite to tell the instructor before! I mean I have people walk out because it's not what they thought or they don't like my style and thats fine...but if it's actually the Dr or dentist then tell me and I won't have to stress out or be disheartened for the rest of the day!
I'm adding another one - judgemental staff. We've had a few where I used to go. Even spread rumours about my trainer and myself. Idiots. Guess the last laugh is on them though! He's got a roaring business at another site. I've followed him and cancelled other membership. I'm happily married for 10 years come April. He's getting married in a few days. But yeah, we're totally having a thing. And yeah, I totally love it when you snigger and make comments about the patrons...in hearing shot of other patrons...but I TOTALLY believe you when you say no one cares what others look like or do in the gym...
Oh, and I've been to an all female gym and had similar issues there as well. And I've been to gyms where there are no issues. It all depends on the staff and patrons in my opinion. And if I don't like it, I train at home!
Damp change room floors. Blech. In fact, make that anything damp at all!
Oh and I've been scarred forever by the sight of those faces the dudes pull and the GRUNTING when they want everyone to notice how heavy their weights are.
I particularly hate how everything wobbles..... And I can't find a sports bra in my size so prevent the wobbles toppling me over.... Lol.... How can they fight the obesity epidemic when they don't provide the right equipment to encourage people to actually exercise!!?!!?!
Teeny tiny size 8 girls in teeny tiny shorts and crop tops who say, while setting up for pump next to me, "oh my gopsh, I can't, like, believe how fat I am today. It is like totally gross because I am just massive, I really need to work out on my abs..." Meanwhile post 2 baby, size 18 me cowers in shame...
... this thread makes me think how much I love my gym!
the only thing I can think of is when machines don't work properly - like when the treadmill sometimes does that jerky thing, where it messes up your gait ... I normally just get on another treadmill if it starts doing that, though ... solved!
people are pretty good about wiping down things, the staff are mostly friendly and obliging, there's a good range of equipment ... it's a nuisance when people are using something I want to use, but I can do other things until they're done ... the gym isn't smelly and the floors aren't wet ... the lockers are pretty small, so I just take a smaller bag ...
my old gym had a spa, which I really miss, but it's not really a "hate" ... I would just like a spa too!
my new gym has a coffee machine ... swings and roundabouts
