Who is the most annoying person in your gym? (pregnant, muscle, building)

[Riley.]

So my gripe is with the 'more experienced' Pickleball players who use the courts where the gym is. They are very clique'ish....don't want to rotate in with the less experienced players (and I understand that) and act like we are imposing on their private PB space (we're not, we usually get one or two courts during mixed play).
When someone sets up a game on Playtime scheduler, they have complained that we should be including levels up to 5, when they have their own sessions.
and finally - the super aggressive play with them really slamming the ball at one another and right up at the net. I keep thinking 'man, there are a lot of angry people here and I'm sure glad I'm playing with the mellow 'let's have fun' group!!'

I found this comment over on StackExchange. I'm not a body builder but this seems reasonable enough:

It's perfectly reasonable to drop a bumper-plate-loaded Olympic bar from chest or overhead in a controlled manner while using an Olympic platform: guiding it down with the hands, making sure it doesn't bounce into the wall, and so on. That doesn't mean everyone at the gym will understand or accept this normalcy. It may even be technically and bizarrely against the rules at your gym. Whether or not it's rude is determined by how knowledgeable your fellow gym-goers are with Olympic lifting, which is to say that it defies all reason and pattern. The guy who doesn't unload his bench press, loudly sings along to his earbuds, curls in the squat rack, steals people's weights while they sit and rest for thirty seconds between sets, and gets his sweat all over the floor might consider it rude for you to drop a 1RM snatch or bail out of a failed max clean & jerk. C'est la vie.

The sauna guy
-who stands next to the door doing a little exercise of sorts and is blocking ingress/egress of someone who wants to enter or exit.
-who sings/raps in the sauna
-who makes strange loud grunts and noises.

Get off of my lawn!

Yeah that's pathetic. No issue with moving between machines are whatever doing multiple sets, but you always let other work in.

I may be a lot of things but an annoying gym person I am most certainly not. I go way out of my way to allow people to work in. Just yesterday a gal was supersetting next to me and she left for a moment to do abs and had all her things (towel, bag) near the pulley machine she was using. A few people walked up oblivious to her things and just started using that machine. So I waited 'til she came back and said "Here, you can use my machine now" and went to do something similar.

I wouldn't hesitate to use the cable machine if she walked away, but left her things, but I'm in and out of an exercise in a minute or less.

probably been stated before, but here goes. The Millenial and Gen Z crowd who setup tripods to video themselves in an already cramped space. I mooned one of their camera's out of frustration.

You need to go to management with that. That's on them to let them know it's not allowed.

I dont think management cares.

I work out at LA Fitness. Worked out at The Edge and Crunch Fitness and the same thing.
