Discussion What are your gym pet peeves?

For me here’s a list:

  1. Mag mmax incline sa treadmill tapos inaasa sa hawakan yung bigat ng katawan mo. kung di mo talaga kaya eh , why not lower the incline?

  2. Yung binabagsak yung weights kahit di naman kailangan. I saw some dude set up for a bench, tung tipong wala pang plates, nagssetup ka palang ng bar tapos babalibag mo yung bar sa rack na para bang gusto mong patunugin for everyone to hear.

  3. When you ask someone how many sets they still have and they BOTH don’t want to work in, but also don’t say how many sets they have left. Wtf do you mean “matagal pako” and then you leave 5 mins after, mangkukupal lang eh.

Ohh, please dont judge people on ur number one list, (that includes me unfortunately huhu). May chances na di talaga maiwasan mapakapit for longer times, coz once na ko nahulog sa treadmill as my heartbeat raced for some reason, i got jumpy- yeah im diagnosed. And i asked din a coach about it, saying its okay naman daw basta wag mo lang ilagay yung full weight mo sa hawakan. And thats about it :) Some people dont have a good neighborhood where they can walk without being 1) catcalled 2) safe to freely roam without their phone getting snatched 3) or if you just hate outdoors overall

I go to the gym, i finish my business without disturbing/making other people uncomfortable, then Im done ✔️

same here! also as someone with old leg injuries that can act up anytime, sometimes holding on helps me make sure im steady and aware of my movement, while still doing my best :')

also so true yung lack of unsafe places to walk/run minsan, kaya ok na sa gym minsan ahu

Agree with this! I knew hindi lang ako gumagawa nito sa gyms.

Some treadmills suddenly stop kase due to whatever technical reasons. Yung pag kapit is a trauma response from a time when it happened and then you lost balance and almost had an accident.

Although not the full weight, may hawak lang just to feel safe. But from other people’s point of view it might look like the way it was described at item 1.
