Gym Pet Peeves

Just got back from the gym and just like every other time I am at the gym, I noticed a few dudes walking around with a giant gym bag in one hand and a weight belt in the other. Even though there are signs all over the gym that say “No Gym Bags On the Floor”. Not that I really care or think, “ Man, those guys should follow the rules”, it just makes me think what is so important that they have to carry that bag around everywhere they go? I have been working out for over 20 years now and have noticed this trend way back then as well. I also have done the full on 3 protein shakes a day with my pre and post workout and never needed a full size gym bag at every weight station I visited.

Back to the observation, I noticed a few of the bags looked like they were empty. So I looked closely and saw one of the guys open up his big ass gym bag and pull out a weight belt and in doing so could confirm nothing else was in there. So of course I think “WTF, do these guys think they look cooler walking around with a gym bag?” You know like the guy that grunts on every lift and drops the dumbbells as hard as he can on the floor. He thinks he is a badass, but everyone things the opposite.

I may sound like a hater, so be it but in the interest of the topic; What are some of your gym pet peeves? It doesn’t have to involve other people. For example; I hate it when a machine is broken or my gym towel falls from the machine onto the nasty floor. Do you agree or disagree? Leave a comment
