This whole thread is why I work out at home. Would it be nice to have a bigger array of weights and to not clutter my bedroom up with workout gear? Yes. Is it worth dealing with other people? Nope.

And stop coming in to classes late, and squeezing yourself in! Or expecting people to move!

This. People are always coming late to my yoga class and then sidling up with their mat, smiling sycophantically, saying “do you mind moving over so I can squeeze in?” Yes, yes, I do, b1tch. I’m in downward dog.

Then don’t move. The inconsiderate people keep doing this because others accommodate them. Just say NO!

I did that once and an old lady called me a b()tch.

That's how I feel, too. I considered a new gym membership but no, thanks.

Just reply back "no that's what selfish late people are."

JFC the most annoying people at the gym aren't newbies. They are the elderly and teenagers who sit on machines endlessly staring at their phones between sets and are outraged if you ask to work in. The newbies are too self-conscious to do that.

And get off your mf phone during sets. You’re dragging out your time on equipment. It’s rude and beyond obnoxious.

I love that my gym bans talking on cell phones on the gym floor and locker rooms and actively enforces it.

I went to the gym at 9 am this morning and it wasn’t crowded at all but all the low lb. hand weights under 10 lbs. were gone. I didn’t see anyone using them in the immediate vicinity of the weights (2 places). Gone both before and after my 25 min workout, so I used plates instead. I hope they are back in place tomorrow. I’m hardly a gym rat and only use them for 5-10 minutes.
