I'll go first.

Blokes shadow boxing.

It's becoming prevalent. My gym isn't massive and there certainly isn't room for this caper.

Why oh why?!

You know, a great way to stop that is to get a bunch of people together to stand there and laugh and point while they shadow box. They'll soon stop ;-)

strange Lycra top guy at one of my gyms, who goes around asking people how long they'll be on a piece of equipment, then walking around the gym staring at you between sets.

People looking at you whilst you work out is the worst! If you are waiting for a piece of equipment, stand nearby so no-one nips in front of you but you must absolutely avert your eyes.

Gym ettiquette!

This is a mean one from me.

Blokes at my gym that use the lighter free weights like the 8kg and 9kg so I can't use them. Man up!*

*I'm a nice person most of the time.

Big greasy fella's sweating all over a bench - take a bloody towell!

Grunters - Why!?!

Middle aged ladies walking on the tredmills, whilst holding onto the sides!!!

Selfish bastards, usually come in pairs, one sits on the machine whilst his mate stands there gassing to him - these also come in individual form & I've even seen one selfish c**t use one piece of equipment & leave his water bottle on the seat of another

Chavs (in groups of 5 +) - Nuff said

People who leave barbells, dumbells, weight plates all over the place in the gym - it's like a mine field walking around the weights area
