Ok, not a gym-related moan as such, but stick with me..
Does it annoy you when people grab your bicep or whatever muscle, and proceed offer some sort of compliment?
It's really irksome, and only serves to make me feel self-conscious
Most people would probably think it serves as an ego boost, but it's got the opposite effect on me.
Gah.
The problem appears to be of your own making; you list your occupation as 'posing'Does it annoy you when people grab your bicep or whatever muscle, and proceed offer some sort of compliment?

I get the polar opposite! My wife hates my new muscles, saying I look odd! Does it annoy you when people grab your bicep or whatever muscle, and proceed offer some sort of compliment?

There's no truth to it tho!
So yesterday I had just showered after a brief gym session and went to put my shorts in the spinney machine thingy. There was a chap there who had just spun his. Lifts the lid and drops it down for a second spin cycle to commence. Fair enough although almost everyone just does the one. So what does he then proceed to do. Yep. Lifts the lid and drops it down for a third go. At which point I question him with a . . . "Surely twice is enough isn't it?" to which he mumbled something back.
FFS!

At my gym, there are two regulars (quite big power lifter types in their late 30's) who at each session do the following:
1.Swagger in having a loud conversation on their phones (signs everywhere saying no phones
)while giving all and sundry a thousand yard stare.
2.Do a warm up on the rowing machine using really bad form/grunting/sweating and not wiping the seat.
3.Check phones and flirt with milfy gym instructor for 10 minutes.
4.Move to Smith machine and stand around chatting/texting/ glaring at everyone for a couple of minutes
5.Do routine on Smith machine while grunting/gurning like they're giving birth.
6.Repeat step 3.
7.Repeat step 5, but with louder grunting and weirder gurning.
8.Swagger round a bit more while continuing to glare at other gym goers, then leave after 30 minutes, but not before one final flirt with milfy instructor.
I think there are characters like that in pretty much every gym 1.Swagger in having a loud conversation on their phones (signs everywhere saying no phones
)while giving all and sundry a thousand yard stare.2.Do a warm up on the rowing machine using really bad form/grunting/sweating and not wiping the seat.

My moan of the day - for some reason the men's changing room at our local gym has started stinking of BO. Fair enough, I can understand that occasionally it might be whiffy because there's somebody in there with poor personal hygiene but nowadays it seems constant, no matter what time of the day you go.

If you can smell it all the time... My moan of the day - for some reason the men's changing room at our local gym has started stinking of BO.

Yes I did actually wonder if that was the case. But I only notice the smell when I walk into the men's changing room (not at home or anywhere else). And before (rather than after) exercising...so there's deffo no way it can be me. Plus the flirty milf instructor still comes over for a chat [note: she comes over to me...] Without wishing to sound overly snobbish the changing room used to be members only and it's only since they took the lock off the door and let every tom, dick, and harry use it that the smell has become so pervasive.

Something about having strange shorts or something. They looked like your average swim shorts to me. I hope he drowns.

Members? So people off the street? Homeless?Not really a moan, it more amuses me than anything.
But the chaps who wear vests and jeans or those baggy trackie-bottoms that are tight on the calves and baggy in the seat, like they are full of cack-car.
There isn't a decent workout I can do if I am not in shorts or tights. I have worn baggies before, or even trouser type things, but the routine is a s
tty basic upper body one, and not one that should be used week in week out unless you wanna look like a pigeon.
