Whether you spend $20 or $200 on a gym membership, you have certain expectations when you go work out. What you're probably not counting on is the girl working out in flip-flops and jeans or the guy who leaves a puddle of sweat on every machine.
We asked several gym-goers to share their pet peeves. Here's what they had to say.
1. No Etiquette, RUDE!
"When people don't re-rack the weights." - Kisar D., personal trainer
"Dumbbells put back in the wrong place, especially the 85-pounders that I typically lift with." - Sabrina T., treadmill and strength-training junkie
2. Weight Hogs
"People who exercise right in front of the weight racks so you can't grab what you need." - Barb Y., gym-rat
3. Fitness Attire, Please
"When people don't wear actual workout gear. What are you wearing?" - Maile P., medicine ball fanatic
4. Do You Need a Nap?
"People who rest forever on the machines between sets."- Fara R., box jump addict
"I hate it when people sit and rest on the leg extension machine. I need to get on there so I can get in full beast mode." - Ryan W., stair climber master
5. Keep Your Game at Home
"You're supposed to be picking up weights, not chicks." - Stephanie M., TRX coach
"I hate it when people hit on me at the gym. This is me time; leave me alone!" - Alice B., yoga lover
6. Will You Ever Run?
"People who stand on the treadmill forever and stretch instead of actually running/walking." - Sabrina T.
7. Do You Even Lift, Bro?
"People who have no idea what they're doing, like doing shoulder presses on the calf-raise machine." - Jim H., bodybuilder
