Annoying can still be cute in a 1980′s sort of way……….

I have been meaning to post about this topic for a while, and wouldn’t you believe it somebody really annoyed me at the gym today.  I choose not to vent on this site because I am an extremely positive person, and believe in the power of positive thinking, but sometimes we need to change it up, so here it goes.

So I have started to train my wife at the gym, and during this time one of the personal trainers at the facility has been hounding my wife to sign up for ”personal training” sessions.   I understand this, but there are better ways to approach this than cornering her at every turn.

Today after our strength training session my wife and I went upstairs to complete some ab work.  During this time the trainer came over and made a few comments to my wife, thinking I couldn’t hear what was being said.  I did the old turn down the volume on my head phones trick.  I couldn’t believe what I heard.  She told my wife that she should book her next session asap because the workout she was doing under “my” instruction was all wrong.  She told her that she will teach her to work out like a woman, and that is the problem when men try to teach their wives what to do.  Let me tell you it took a lot of strength to be quiet.   I could have crushed her with theory in an instant, but I bit my tongue.

I wasn’t as much offended as upset for my wife who is embarking on a new workout routine.  The last thing you should do to someone who is starting out is discourage them.  It’s not as if I personally designed the program for my wife anyway.  Kayla is following the Visual Impact for Women Program that was designed by Rusty Moore of Fitness Black Book, hardly an amateur fitness buff, with a wealth of personal training experience and millions of visitors to his website.   I can’t wait until Kayla is finished the program and goes back to the trainer to show off her new body!  Anyway…enough of that here is the Top 10 Most Annoying People at the Gym!

10.  People That Leave A Puddle of Sweat At The Bench  -  Just gross.

9.  People That Stare Intensely At Themselves In The Mirror – The same people may even throw in a wink and gun (to themselves).

8.  People That Never Stop Talking, Or Try To Talk To You While You Have Headphones On – Somehow you can hear their conversation over your music

7.  People That Try To Correct Your Form – About the only thing worse is someone trying to give golf swing tips during a round of golf.

6.  People That Lift Extremely Low Weights For Like 5000 Reps – Sometimes they will break to answer their cell phone. 

5.  People That Ask You To Spot Them, And Then Try To Lift Way Too Much Weight – This really puts you on the “spot”, and makes for an uncomfortable situation with a person you may have just met…AWKWARD.

4.  Muscle Shirts – AKA – The wife beater is just unnecessary.

3.  People With Bad Odor– Nuff Said.

2.  People That Leave Weights All Over The Place – Seriously, people do this which creates an uneeded obstable course at the gym.
