rude people at gym

[Cy Tolliver]

WTF?  i'm cool with 99 percent of people at my gym, but some people are just rude.  you give them a tip on their bad form or something and they act like it offends them that your trying to help.

do you guys ever encounter people like this?

If people want tips on their form they will usually ask. 

We used to have a trainer who constantly tried to "correct" just about everyone's form in the gym.  He may have just been trying to be helpful but he was seen as pretty annoying.

why do you feel the need to interrupt someone's workout?  why is it your dooty to fix someone that you obviously don't know?

[Mars]

i hate those people who consequently has to correct people in the gym. but its also the way you say it. maybe people will appreciate more if you say, i do it this way so maybe you can get more out of the excersize that way.
i never correct people anyway, i could care less

If you look like someone that knows what they are talking about then maybe.  but when I see little twinks or 90 eyar old flabby men trying to give advice it makes me annoyed.  But then there are some true bodybuilders that I chat with and I try to listen to a lot of their training tips.

[JasonH]

I never correct people on their form - I just get on with my workout and bollocks to anyone else in there - if someone asks for help I will always be happy to do so but for me to go out of my way and approach anyone is pretty much unheard of.

I'm also rude in the gym most of the time, not because I'm a bad person but I'm just very focused on my workout and hate being interrupted.

Worst people are the ones who start talking to you in the middle of a set, asking how many sets you got left at that machine, or pass you by at a distance of one inch while you're doing a heavy set to rerack some dumbbells or stuff like that. At these moments I'm short of becoming a murderer.

I had a 100 pound twink ask me mid set while I was benching how many sets I had left.  That was the closest I ever came to punching the fuck out of someone at the gym.  When I was done, I racked the weights and just yelled at the fuck.  He ran to the gym manager but once I told the manager what happened he shook his head went and talked to the guy and two minutes later the kid was leaving the gym.

do yourself a favor

Unless someone is going to de-spine themselves
don't bother

good deeds so often go unrewarded

[lvtolft]

If someone asks to work in with you, how many of you say no?

Personally, i don't care too much.  It can be annoying at times, but most people don't work out on a regular basis and really don't have a clue about gym etiquette.

even instructors manage to talk to you in the middle of a set.

Yes, it takes will to yell at little millionaire twinks in the gym.  You should try it one day.

i'm too scared to do that...aren't you afraid?

[K-1]

The only rude people I have a problem with are those who ignore my obvious efforts to be as non social as I can be in the gym while lifting.

Me- hooded pullover, listening to my tunes, not making eye contact with anybody,head down walking to next set after I rack my weights, big a$$ towel in my left to wipe off whatever....doing my work,non bad a$$, no mean mug, nice guy...just want to get in and get out.

then some rude person taps me on the shoulder ...i have to take off my hood...take my ear phones out....only to hear "Man......whenever I see you here....you just work out and leave!"

....I no longer go to Bally's..end of story. RANT OFF

Like people have said, don't offer advice unless asked for. It rarely comes off well.

I had a trainer do that to me during a heavy set of box squats.  He wanted to let me know that I was compressing my spine and hurting back and that instead I should do the squats on one of those rubber balls.

If this man ever gives you advice on women, you listen!

[Eyeball Chambers]

Schwepes, no offense but you're really fucking annoying online.  I can't even imagine how bad you must be in person. 

[Spike]

Just wear your ipod and scowl alot.keeps people from talking to me.

thumbs up

thats how I roll..........freaks the asian/hmoung kids out at the rec center when you always wear a hat and ipod and never talk to anyone

[The Showstoppa]

Maybe if you guys were bigger people wouldn't give you the advices when you are working out?  Instead, they would be asking....
