Changing room benches (which can easily fit 2 or even 3 people) being taken up by one person spreading their bag and clothes out.

I was in the gym yesterday...did my usual pissfarting about now that my knackered knee won't allow me to run, then went in the sauna for 10 mins.
Bloke in there fully clothed with trainers on and taking phone calls. What a f***ing weapon.

I mean if he wants to leave his clothes on in the sauna up to him but he can f*ck off with the phone calls.
I agree. Similar annoyances:
- people who change immediately next to you even when there’s plenty of space.
- those who place outdoor footwear onto changing room benches. E.g. when they’re tying shoe laces before leaving.
I usually place a plastic bag under my bottom when I sit down to pull on socks and shoes.

This is one of my biggest irritations at the gym, if you can see I’m f***ing straining like a bastard under a bar- stay out of my eye line you useless fuckwit, you’ll knock my focus

People squeezing their wet shorts all over the floor, theres a bloody dryer there as well. Shaving in the sauna.
Only been back in a gym for 2 weeks lol - havent noticed as much of the posing and filming so far at Bannatynes in Durham anyway.

People need to pack in photographing /filming themselves in changing rooms. Absolute wet wipe behaviour as well as having completely no regard for the privacy of other people.

Onegym at Ryhope has a separate posing room with mirrors on all sides, so the roiders can go in and look at themselves for four sets of 20
Someone told me about this once and I thought they were joking.

Was I jd tonight listening to some imbecile with back acne who could barely string a sentence together mumble something about his ‘pump’ and he proceeded to stand infront of the mirror and film himself in various ‘poses’
He was about 8 stone (half a stone of that was the pus in his back-ne)

I saw two lads doing dumbbell shoulder press on a bench, one slapped the other on the shoulders and went let’s go. Let’s get nasty. As in Dorian Yates old school style
The dumbbells were 10kgs
Also - two blokes supersetting standing right next to the dumbbell rack not allowing anyone to get past.
Never known a gym to have so many absolute clowns in it

Why can’t the person using the machine not have more of a sense of urgency and get on with their training instead of texting or having a quick nap between their extremely low intensity sets, which they generally aren’t even doing properly, anyway?
And to answer your other question —and this is a question that irritates me greatly — if I’m forced to wait for a machine, or rack, it’s because it’s on my plan. The exercises, the order I do them in, and the selection of a given machine is planned in a precise fashion. I don’t go to the gym to larp around. Try it. You’ll get better results.
Re: your last paragraph. I agree, and I would on occasion get wound up if I couldn’t do a ‘perfect’ routine in the order that I planned.
But in commercial gyms I think that you need to be flexible. E.g. I can swap an exercise into a push/pull routine if a piece of equipment is unavailable.
