Things that I've seen and can't stand;
There is a guy who works out at my gym and he's extremely jacked. But he's also a total prick. He's usually always there with his bestfriend, but when he's not, his friend and I tend to chat up some conversation together. He states the obvious, about how cocky his friend is and how he has a bad attitude. This same guy [the prick] will spill his supplement powders all over the sink in the lockerroom, go do his workout, come back into the lockerroom, and if he has an audience, then he'll bytch about it, even though he was the one who made the mess. I have cleaned up so many messes in the lockerroom. It's ridiculous and disgusting.
I also don't like it how some guys will stare (yes, stare) at you while you're in the showers.
I've seen some people go through other's lockers. I always be sure to keep a close eye on my belongings.
I had some very scrawny guy, who was mostly composed of just bones and skin, try lecturing me about using any kind of performance enhancing supplements or drugs. Did I listen to him? Of course not. I could care less about what he has to say, or what he thinks.
I get along rather well with most of the members at my gym. I don't mind helping others out and I also don't mind having a conversation once in a while, meanwhile I'm working out. But I usually enjoy listening to my music while doing cardio or lifting. When I'm walking around a bit and catching my breath, then I don't mind it when someone approaches me and wants to catchup. But some people just talk way too much. They'll drag the conversation on and on. I don't like cutting others off during conversation and don't like being rude, so I usually try listening as much as I can, then I'll probably end up looking at my watch and be like, "Well, I have to be heading out shortly, so I'm gonna finish up with my workout. It was nice talking with you." Something like that. I feel bad doing it, but I go to the gym to workout. Social, yes. Maybe a little. Once in a while. But not as much as a lot of other members do.
Most of the members don't carry towels around with them, to wipe off the machines after each use. I, on the other hand, do. I find it disgusting to be sitting in someone else's sweat, so I doubt that they'd like sitting in mine.
I also don't like it when people will load weights onto a machine, lift, and then leave the machine like that. I also don't like it when people will use a machine, leave it the way it is, go to the bathroom, get a drink, and so on and so forth, and leave others waiting, people who actually wanna put the machine to good use and people who have things to do.
With that all said;
My gym is supposed to be getting a Dr. Smoothie concession stand sometime before summer, so I'm pretty excited about that. I hope the plans follow through. I love the Dr. Smoothie products. They'll also be offering different supplements to put into your smoothie. They're fat-free and sugar free. They're also very delicious. They occasionally offered samples throughout the summer last year.
