THE TRUTH ABOUT: Infuriating gym photos - The Untold Story
Going to the gym is supposed to be fun. Challenging, but fun. After all, exercise ramps up the production of endorphins and leaves you feeling like a Greek god.
But sometimes, just as you're about to finish your warmup, they show up. The characters. The ones who turn your workout haven into a real-life sitcom or horror film, depending on your mood.
To remind everyone about proper etiquette, we have rounded up a list of the most annoying behaviors at the gym. Think of it as a fitness field guide of what not to do.

Can I Use The Bench You’re Not Using? No
Guy’s doing squats which doesn’t require the bench. There’s one bench between two racks. I need to do bench press and see he’s not using it so I ask if it’s ok if I can use it and he abruptly says no. So I struggled to carry a heavy bench from the other side of the gym and back. It’s been 30-45 minutes and I’m on my third exercise (different equipment) already and he’s still doing squats and not using it.
It’s not his personal equipment, he’s not using it so what’s his problem?

My Local Gym Changed All The Inspirational Health-Inspired Quotes For A Static Commercial For Chocolate Candy
My gym usually has "inspirational" health related stuff and some commercials for protein and low calorie stuff cycling these screens but today it changed to a chocolate commercial that didn't change for an entire hour.
It infuriates me that even here where people come to work on their health, people get bombarded with unhealthy stuff.
