I was at the gym yesterday. Was swimming some lengths in the pool, and I saw this absolutely huge woman just sitting off with her mate. She didn't swim once.
I get out to use the sauna, a few minutes later, this big fatty goes into the steam room to do SOME MORE FRIGGING SITTING. CAN'T SHE SEE SHE'S AT A GYM AND NEEDS TO SHED SOME OF HER FLABBER?
Hahaha agreed! The worse thing, I bet you she thinks that entitles her to get a MacDonalds on the way home cause she thinks she's burnt off 500 calories with her hour sat in the pool.
Bad range of motion. This is the most common and irritating thing. Idiots loading up the squat bar with dozens of plates and then squatting three inches. If you can't squat it at least to parallel, you can't squat it, and you're not fooling anyone who knows anything about it. See also bench press.

Spot on. There is a douche at my gym, who thinks he can bench 100kg. But it is an absolute fail. He gets the help of his two friends to lift the bar off the rack, and then lowers the bar by about an inch or two for about 3 reps lol.
WTF is going on. Either bench 100kg properly, or lower the weight to 70kg.
I hate people who think they are bigger than they actually are, by lifting heavier weights but with the most atrocious form i have ever seen.
Somebody asked on here the other day "how big do you have to be to wear a vest?" I think it should've been "how big does your ego have to be to wear a vest?"
People who take up an hour on the treadmill by taking a walk. It is exactly the same level of physical exertion as wandering about between the cupboards in the kitchen, except with Lycra, wildly-flailing arms and an extreme look of absolute concentration. Please take up hoovering.
People who look at me like i'm an idiot when i'm warming up with just a bar. I'm being safe also when I get dodgy looks for deadlifting about 6inches off the floor to protect my back.
Other things have already been said, rowing machine technique really pisses me off.

i feel you pain, when hench guys look at me for doing my first set with an empty bar lol. Id rather save my back than feed my ego.
-Flexing too much -Gobby ****es hogging equipment -Elite personal trainers not worth the **** they get paid -People being "OMFG SURPRISED!" to be unable to pass me whilst I DL. If you knock it, you feel it.
-Actually wincing at a DL competition 2 elite trainers do with 8 or more of their buddies who then proceed to hurt themselves (they didnt show it) by going for 1REM that they cannot lift properly.
I was actually mindful of bicep tears seeing as they were using mixed grip and possibly loading the weight onto said bicep. ¬_¬ Its not nice to see a bicep tendon rip. oO
Women in full make up - it's a gym. You're gunna get sweaty and red-faced and puffy and your hair will get covered in sweat. if you don't come out of the gym covered in sweat with your eyeliner running down your face, what was the point in going?
People staring People on treadmill on full incline WHILST holding onto the machine, are they too thick too realise this is pointless? Hogging weight machines for too long
