My Top 10 Gym Pet Peeves
by Sally Hughes ~ Fitness Trainer & Nutrition Ninja
When you spend as much time at gyms as I do, you can't help but develop certain 'pet peeves' over time ... In no particular order, here are my current top 10 ...
People Who:
1. Sweat excessively all over the benches and equipment and don't wipe 'em down ...
2. Grunt at the top of their lungs especially when lifting rather light weights ...
3. Don't rack their weights and plates ...
4. Don't let you work in and/or hog a station and lounge around on weight machines ...
5. Dress completely inappropriately for their shape, size, gender, et al. and give me WAY more info. than I need!
6. Don't wash their hands after using the bathroom ...
7. Yack on their phones during sets, between sets and while doing cardio ...
8. ONLY do cardio. The best bodies at any given gym are always in the free weight zone! (plus why spend money on a gym membership when you can buy a treadmill for less than your annual fee?)
9. Crash their weights to the ground (even when lifting nominal weights) ...
10. Drive 1 mile to the gym, wait for the closest parking spot, then spend an hour doing cardio while chatting on their phones!
*Honorable Mentions Go To Those Who:
1. Hoard dumbbells, barbells and other equipment and refuse to 'play nice' and share.
2. Get too close for comfort especially when there are 5 similar machines nearby and someone big, sweaty and stinky saddles up right next to you.
3. Are locker room exhibitionists. Seriously: Is it really that hard to put a towel around your waist?
These are my primary gym pet peeves ... What are YOURS? ... I welcome your comments and would also love to know which of the above most resonate with you!
Yours in fitness & health,
