The 7 Worst Things In The Gym
Being a personal trainer I've seen a lot of bad behavior in the gym
over the years. Carry on reading to find out the things that really
get on my nerves.
Guys
training in groups of more than 3: You've
all seen them, they stay on the same piece of equipment for 30
minutes performing sets at a rate that would make a snail happy,
spending most of their time chatting between themselves and scaring
most of the girls away from the weights area. Guys this is not a turf
war! You don't need to bring your whole crew to the gym! Your rest
periods are too long and your training intensity is non-existent so
if you're serious about results split into pairs and do your own
thing.
People
who refuse to share equipment: This
is a bad one and it's just down right out of order, luckily it
doesn't happen that much. You know, you see someone on a piece of
equipment you'd like to use, they're taking their time you ask to
jump in and they just flat out refuse. Come on! It makes absolutely
no difference to you if I use the equipment while you're standing
their picking your nose between sets. I've had a couple of rows in
the gym over this one.
Fitness
instructors who leave the studio door open so music spills out into
the whole gym: This really gets
my back up. Instructors we all ready have our own music on the gym
floor we don't need your poor taste in music clashing with it like a
wanna be DJ trying to in his bedroom at his mum's house! And what's
more we don't want to hear your voice as you shout instructions into
the microphone!
Talking
on the phone: Yeah your
ringtones awesome while I'm trying to concentrate. Please get some
one else to call you and make sure it's on full blast because it
really helped me concentrate and finish my last set. Oh and if you
want to have another 20min shouting match with your girlfriend on the
phone please don't mind us, go ahead! Simple LEAVE YOUR PHONE IN THE
LOCKER!
Training
with your shirt off: Look your
not Arnold Schwarzenegger, your not even a semi pro body-builder, do
us all a favour and put the shirt back on. We don't want to look at
your sweaty body while you workout and what's more we don't want that
back sweat over all of the equipment! If you need to see to see your
muscles why you train then get a vest.
Grunting
uncontrollably: You're not in
the US OPEN men's finals, keep it down. Now I'm not having a go at
everyone even I grunt a little on those final few sets, but I am
having a go at those of you who grunt so uncontrollably that you can
be heard on the other side of the gym! Relax man people know your
here you don't need to announce it every set and I know you think so
but the girls they don't like it!
Not
putting away your equipment: This
one is really just laziness, you just lifted those 32's so we know
you can put them back, please don't leave the gym looking like a bomb
just hit it, it just downright inconsiderate! And when you load up
the bar with 120 kilos on the rack and just leave it there remember
the next person who wants to use it has to strip it down and any
girls wouldn't have a chance and are gonna need help, all because
you're an inconsiderate %@£”!
OK
moaning over let's all get back in the gym!
