Men should also wear tshirts and never tanks.

Who are you to dictate what every member of one gender “should” wear? Can you imagine the outcry if someone wrote “women should wear shorts over leggings not just shorts or leggings!”

This has become a problem at my gym. Creeps me out, but I'm afraid to say anything about it because I don't want to be accused of being a homophobe and end up getting banned from the gym. But its gross. I have zero desire to shower when I know that some guy is getting a BJ behind the shower curtain in the next shower stall.

Which gym is this? It’s not the Lifetime in Gaithersburg

I worked at the old Rio Sport & Health in Gaithersburg about ten years ago and this was an actual issue in the men's locker rooms.

Did you read the title? Annoying things. It is annoying when a man wears a tank top. It's also pretty obvious the tank men are to be avoided, so I guess thank you?

My DH is a gym farter. Sometimes we’d be in the empty class room and he’d rip several stinky farts, and inevitably a cute girl or guy would walk in.

Curls in the squat rack.

Legend has it that if someone wants to get it on with you in the gym locker room, they’ll A) wear orange sneakers and B) tap their foot three times inside your stall. or even out by the machines. It is code for ‘meet me in the shower’. Or in the case of different genders, the tanning bed room or other secluded area.

People that go about 200 mph on the elliptical at a very minimal intensity to the point where the machine looks like it is about to break. Noisy and distracting

OMG nearly no comments about group exercise classes!

Besides stinky people especially in spinning my list includes:

I hate latecomers who are regulars with a passion

I hate latecomers who shove themselves into spots where there's really no room for them--no I'm not moving over for you

I hate instructors who ask me to interrupt my yoga practice so I can move all my stuff over to make room for the latecomers

I hate the Euros old people and others who think it's wrong to turn on the fan when it gets hot

that's all I can think of now--there are probably more

Wait a minute-

You ....... have to move..... to ...... get a better view ?????


So, in other words, you stalk men on the weight machines, carefully, stealthily maneuvering yourself into position for the best vantage point, to be able to catch a glimpse of their genitalia up the leg of their shorts.


You are a sex offender.

What you’re doing, you should be in jail for. Do you realize that? Do you understand that a man doing that to women would be arrested, charged and convicted of a sex crime? You think because you’re a woman it’s a different scenario, and you’re somehow the hero here!?!?


JFC some women are insane!!!!

People who don't put weights, kettle bells, and other equipment back where they belong. How are other people supposed to find it if you just drop it in a corner when you are done with it?

People who get on treadmill next to me when there are a LOT free. Then said person either a.) farts b.) reeks of sweat or c.) talks on the phone.

People waiting for the adductor who sit and watch me closely as I open and close my legs. I know it's a public place, but no matter how much you want this machine, it is creepy.

It is kind of amusing that there is probably some suburban middle-aged mom out there that thinks she is so drop-dead attractive that men stare almost every time she uses the hip abductor machine.

I used to be a trainer when I was single. I can confirm the tanning room part. I’ve helped more than a couple SAHM’s work off some baby weight in the tanning room.

But that was 15 years ago. I can’t think of a club that even HAS a tanning bed now.

LOL that's so mortifying. My DH is a stinky farter, too, but he usually saves it for us at home.
