Pretty much everyone at the gym. I just don't like crowds when I'm trying to focus on me. I now go to the gym around 4:30 am. There's only about 3 people there and I can focus to get things done.

I only went to the gym a few times, but I gotta say the worst people are definitely the ones that sit there and judge you because you're smaller than they are. It's like, sorry for trying to improve myself

The people who go into the gym and try to act like they're stronger than they are, and think it's about how much weight they're lifting, rather than proper form. I just get annoyed by unrealistic goals, and people who feel the need to go above their limits, often because they're trying to measure up to others at the gym.
Oh, and people who don't sit on a towel or shower before the sauna. And people who piss in gym showers.

So you get pissed off at people who are trying to get fit and healthy?. You get mad at someone using a bit of machinery that wasn't in use technically as you was off it?. Wow, you are selfish. Also, so a person was using "tiny ass weights and taking ages"?. So would a guy who prob just started to workout curl 50 pounds?, bench 100?, leg press 200?, do you even know what their goals are?. No, everyone starts of low and builds their way up. It's more about repetition than the actual weight. I started with 10 pounds weights for a while and worked my way up. Hell, I couldn't care less if people saw me using 10 pound weights. It was something that I was comfortable with. At a gym, it's supposed to be an encouraging and motivating environment and knowing there's someone at a gym that has to see you for 5 days a week, I feel sorry for them. Not every person is going to know what they are doing thus not everyone is a former fitness fanatic/body builder etc. You would be the worst personal trainer ever. Please don't get into that sort of industry dear god.Too late chief, I'm actually starting my course in Community Recreation and Fitness which will give me a Certificate 3 in Fitness, Australia wide. So I'll be a qualified personal trainer in 2 years. Also, I started working out at 108 pounds now I'm 136 and I've only been working out since the start of the year so I know all about the using tiny weights when you start. However if you're not skinny and you're overweight (like this bloke was) it means you would have more muscle than a 108lb skinny bloke and he was lifting lower weights than I was when I started from what I noticed around the gym. good luck, enjoy your bachelor apartment

Am I the only one that is amused by the fact that someone that looks like they're a member of One Direction (assuming avatar is self pic) is trying to give workout advice. No because I dress and at times look like I could be yet I go to the gym and stay in shape.. Just because you're not some jacked guy doesn't mean you don't know anything about fitness..

Ah, I've got one.
Bros who act like squats and deadlifts are the only acceptable leg exercises. That anything else is ineffective and that real men just do squats and deadlifts.
They also usually judge people for using a pad for squats.

The people that are against what Tobi said have never been in a gym before. A course on what one should do should be mandatory before ever setting foot in a gym. You have tests for people to drive a car....Same thing IMO for a gym.

I think everyone has pretty much covered everything that would annoy me but one I can add is when people spend more time bragging about being at the gym in their Facebook statuses rather than actually working out.

A group of 5 or 6 lads came into the gym today and basically used the machines as seats so they could do 10 sets of chat. That annoyed me.

No one bothers me as long as they are exercising properly. Although I do look at young lads about 17, that have little muscle walking, about the place as if they own it and think what a bunch of twats.
People who skip leg day as well give me a laugh.
I suppose I could say hot women who use the women's only section. Not a creep just like a bit of eye candy when I work out.

People who come over by the water fountain and breathe extremely heavily even though it's obvious they're not breaking a sweat.
