Thread: What makes you ill in the gym

Maybe Cronno was standing behind Monstar and Monstar confused the gay-guy for looking at him when he was really looking at Cronno! J/K!

stinky people, men who fart, people who gawk, azzholes who read the newspaper sitting on a machine, no re racking their weights, people on their cellies, people looking at themselves in the mirror, puzzy azz men lifting girl weights, salesmen trying to upgrade the memebership when they know your there daily, leaving sweat behind for others to sit in, inconsiderate people hogging MY mirror when I am lifting, when the girl's bathroom smells like azz, when gay men hit on Craig in the locker room, when people turn the fans on me when I am on the treadmill (if I wanted it to blow on me, I would put it there)......

#1.....the goofy people that wear gay looking outfits to the gym that make no sense. I mean underwear on the outside of leggings with a wife beater shirt? Come on.....ewwwwwwwww


Ok....I think I am finished.

Uh oh... I was ok on most of this till she mentioned #1 and #2 - if she had put it at the end of the list I would have almost passed muster.

I got chewed out by a trainer woman for "sweating" at a gym! Oh my lord - what a crime. She said "sir your shirt is wet and you are sweating!". In my most polite and gentle voice, between catching my breath after reaching a new personal best lat pull down I said "where is the men's area - I think I need to puke"?

Uhm, the farting thing - well sorry but when I have 20 plates on the incline leg press I ain't about to stop in mid-press, stand up and try to make it to the bathroom to vent a wee bit of effervescent protein that’s trying to get out past the rear gaskets. Besides the lil extra thrust could help me get that last rep out. :Sometimes lifting is a community activity...

p.s. most everthing else I am good about

c'mon now..don't hold back!

Fat chicks in spandex.

"Spandex: A priviledge, not a right"

Got that right. Also makes me sick at breakfast buffets to see these spandex queens bellying up to the trough.

and top of the 8" high plate of food with their diet coke....

And leave nothing for me

This happens to us ladies ALL the time.

I hate when the machines/equipment I want to use are being used by somebody who apparantly never finishes.
I hate when some dumbass guy leaves many 45lb plates on the bar or leg press (cuz you know everyday is wrist/forearm day for me )
I hate when the gym isn't clean. Ours apparantly have one cleaning lady and one cleaning dude. But they don't work all the hours the gym is open.
I hate this fat dude who walks around w. his chest puffed out and his arms out like he's hot yeah ok.
I hate girls who don't know what a sports bra is.
I hate seeing the bodybuilder I used to like/date.
I hate how old men always find themselves on the machine next to me altho the whole upstairs cardio section is EMPTY.
I hate when the mats are full of people sitting around doing nothing/chatting, so I can't stretch out or do abs.
I hate when fat naked old ladies prance around the locker room naked
I hate when I get strange looks for actually knowing how to use the equipment/weights.
I hate when guys try to give me bad advice about lifting.
I hate strippers cuz I am simply jealous.
I hate people who show of their guts w/ a skin-tight shirt or even no shirt just sports bra.
I hate broken equipment that takes months to get fixed/replaced.
I hate skinny guys that walk around with their photocopied magazine workouts.


I am actually amused by grunters/screamers/moaners.

Every time I see this one lady on the treadmill, she does this funny thing where she extends her arms up and at an angle, then bends them back.. she looks like she's trying to direct a plane landing. Cracks me up every time.

Also, the italian dude w/ the huge gold chain thumping against his chest as he runs on the mill. I couldn't keep a straight face.

Oh yeah! You reminded me of one of my issues. The old fart fat men just love to walk around naked and talk to each other and walk up to you and start chatting at close distances. It’s nauseating having to see their small wrinkled prune of a penis bouncing up and down with their fat belly when they laugh about some vulgar joke about one of the younger female gym patrons. The only thing worse is getting to witness a partial sexual response from one of the same when they spot a young buff guy come out of the shower and then run over to tell the same joke all over again. Makes you wonder what kind of guys are around you and it is the reason I do not change in the men's room and opt to come to the gym in my workout clothes.

we piss ppl also?

I just started going to the gym...and one thing that really annoys me is the music!! How can I get motivated to fricken Brittney Spears!!

Stinky smelly people goes with the territory. Your at a gym not a Health Spa or a Ballys Fitness club that are geared more towards the yuppies and weekend warriors. A real hardcore gym is supposed to smell like sweat. That is old school, hardcore training atmosphere and I have no problems with it. You stink that means your sweating.

Firestorm, I completely understand what your saying.

However, its the ones who leave their gym bags in their cars/trucks for weeks and dont wash them. They smell musty.

Hi Greek...

Doesn't that feel better to get all that off your chest?
It sounds like you had all this bottled up inside.

Uh oh... I am guilty here. One of my very few faults. If I don't leave my gloves in the car and I forget them I have a really really bad day and have all kind of negative thoughts. Rather than remove them from my car I have grown accustomed to replacing the car more often. I know they need to be washed or replaced when my wife refuses to go shopping with me. That means things are really bad.

That's almost as bad as sweaty balls.

yuck Jodie!!!

I hate the stupid empty-headed dancepop music. I hate the fact that the cardio machines face a bank of TV screens tuned to lame offend-no-one reruns, instead of facing the other way -- where there is in fact a nice view of the greenbelt behind the building. I hate the women who think the gym is some sort of display area, and insist on working out in full makeup and reeking perfume. I hate the people who, contrarily, believe that one's gym gear should walk in WITH you from the car, and never wash their workout wear, ever. (Fresh sweat is one thing. Layers of old fermented sweat is quite another.) I hate the people who drip buckets of sweat while they lift, and don't use a towel on the bloody bench. I hate the men who feel they need to impress everyone by hoffing way more weight than they should be with momentum instead of form and the mandatory loud grunts; I don't want to be there when their spines snap in two or a tendon gives way and springs across the room. I hate the women friends who run at a painfully slow jog on side-by-side treadmills for, literally, hours at a time, talking to each other -- the whole time -- about exactly how much food they've eaten, and what, and whether they were "so good this week" or "so bad" as if a chocolate brownie was a sin above murder. I hate the perpetually lean, fit, tanning-bedded people who sneer in a superior fashion at the timid fat person in huge baggy T-shirt and sweatpants breaking a sweat at the second-lowest setting on the treadmill -- way to encourage someone to make a positive lifestyle change. I hate finding parking. I hate that I drive somewhere in order to run like a hamster to nowhere. I hate all the fly-by-nights who come and crowd up the place to no purpose all January and half of February. I hate that the strength machines are packed so close together that you have to risk life and limb to slide into the leg press while someone is using the leg extension machine next door. I hate that no matter what bodypart I'm working, or how empty the gym is, someone is always using the machine I need next.

This is why I now work out at home. I am crotchety.

Damn Akateros....

You brought up some very good points there
Although I love looking at the women while working out, there makeup don't bother me Beats watching those TV screens like you mentioned But, I suppose they can be a distraction at times (especially when wearing their white tight spandex)

besides the idiots who are at the gym to lifts weight yet don't have the strength to rack all of their weights, the people who do EVERY single exercise incorrectly, the main thing that I can't stand is guys who work out in spandex shorts. I'm no homo-phob but I don't want to see what your package looks like on a daily basis nor does anyone else...

Very much Agreed

I don't usually participate in this type of thread but I'm PISSED!!! I go the gym on base. There's two squat racks and one power rack/cage. Today was leg day and I was COMPLETELY psyched to have a great workout. I walk in and a pair of dumbshits was using BOTH squat racks to do fuqing barbell curls and some other numbnuts was using the power rack to do pull-ups. When I approached the dingleberry twins and asked to use one of the squat racks they said they needed them because they were competing. Excuse me? What the fuq kind of competition can you compete in where you HAVE to tie up two squat racks doing curls??? I then asked the chin-up dude how much longer he was gonna be because I wanted to use the rack for squats. He said he'd just started and would probably be another 30-45 minutes. EXCUSE ME??? 30-45 minutes of chins???

I was so fuqing pissed that I ended up having a great workout. I kept picturing their stupid heads under my heels as I was leg pressing.

Albob, there sure are inconsiderate morons out there as you pointed out with no courtesy what-so-ever. Makes ya wonder sometimes whether they were raised in a barn.

You got that right. They were using Olympic bars with a single ten pound plate on either end. 65 freakin' pounds and they had to use TWO squat racks.

Sounds like some regulations need to be enforced in your gym Albob. If the equipment can't be used properly, and people are not respecting others then they should not be allowed to use the equipment.

You're in the military...pop off some rounds around their asses Toss a smoke granade in there and watch the dingleberries scatter
