Gym Peeves

Since the first of the year, I've been going to the gym on a more consistent basis. And there are things that people do at the gym that just drive me absolutely nuts!! I told Ben some of my "gym peeves" and he just said he doesn't really pay attention to other people when he works out. Well, he's a guy, and really, how can you not? Here are my ultimate gym peeves. And if you have any you'd like to add, I'd love to hear them!

When people don't wipe down their machines when they're done. Call me crazy, but most people work up a sweat when they work out. And nobody wants to get on a sweat soaked machine. It has to be unsanitary or something!

The clompers and stompers. These are the people who get on a treadmill and don't know how to run. Either they turn the speed up too high and can't keep up, or they just can't hear themselves stomping.

Chatty Neighbors. I'm all for being friendly and small talk, except for when I'm actually working out. Especially when I have headphones in. Working out is a time for me to clear my head and get rid of stress...If I don't act interested in talking, then I'm not interested. It's like awkward airplane situations.

People who go to the gym only to get picked up on or to pick up on others. You can totally tell who these people are. The girls with the perfect hair and make up with the dress to impress gym outfit. And the guys who walk around and don't do much except that. They check you out from across the room and generally just make you uncomfortable.

The Runner-overers. These are the people who will literally take you out if you get in their way. Especially if it's a crowded class.

The Naked Locker Room walkers. In my experience, these are always the old, overweight women. A little modesty goes a long way!

Cell Phone Talkers. It's so strange to me when people talk on their phone while they're working out. Can't you put it down for at least 30 minutes?! Especially when you're occupying equipment.

The Jean Wearer. Enough said.
