Selfies In The Gym Piss Off UK Gym Goers
Health Club Management shared the results from UK gym chain Velocity Health & Fitness member survey. And 76% said that gym users who took photos pre, during or post work out are their biggest peeve!
Other issues included:
- Equipment hogging (I hate that too!)
- Excessive change room nakedness (are you kidding me?)
- Late arrival for group fitness classes
This will not surprise you that 70% revealed that men are the most vain in their gyms as they flex and even fix their hair in the gym mirrors!
I concur wholeheartedly with the final annoyance: wrong (or as they call it ‘distasteful’) clothing such as tight tank tops, ill-fitting lycra and impractical wedge trainers.
This got me thinking about my top 7 annoyances at the gym:
- Equipment hogging.
- Those “t” back singlets.
- The grunters – you know the people who “uoh ha”.
- Stinky people.
- The people who don’t think they need to use their membership card to get in, especially when mine is at the bottom of my bag.
- People wearing white Skinz.
- The men who use hair dryers to dry their nether regions!
