9 Annoying Gym Habits

When it comes to gym behavior, some people are more mindful than others. 

Based on her findings, Van der Westhuizen highlights some of the most annoying habits gym-goers encounter:

• Recording videos: Other gym users generally prefer not to be caught on camera.

• Leaving equipment scattered after use instead of returning it to its designated spot.

• Equipment hogging—especially when you’re not actively using it.

• Dropping weights loudly, disrupting others’ sessions.

• Unsolicited workout advice from fellow gym-goers who assume your routine is wrong.

• Singing loudly and off-key while wearing headphones.

Additionally, Van der Westhuizen shared insights from a personal trainer who identified some other irritating behaviors:

• Not tidying up workout spaces after finishing a session.

• Talking louder than the music in group classes, disrupting personal trainers' instructions.

• Rudeness toward gym staff, which creates a negative atmosphere.

If none of these habits sound familiar, congratulations! You’re doing a fantastic job of being a respectful and non-disruptive gym-goer. Keep it up!
