Gym Sins

Newsweek recently reported on some of the most common Gym Sins. Two men wanted to get their true weight, so they weighed themselves in the nude…on the public scales outside the bathrooms. A woman decided to use the hot rocks in the sauna to grill her post-workout ham-and-cheese. A man gave his classmates an “uncomfortable view” when he wore shorts but no underwear in yoga class. And then there are tales of people falling asleep on the bench press between sets, talking loudly on their cell phones or singing karaoke to their iPod mix.

Proper gym etiquette is usually posted, or at least understood, in most establishments—but if someone is working out “in their own world,” that may not matter. Of course, one of the benefits of having a Gyminee Gymbuddy is that you can hold each other accountable without worrying about whether he or she wipes their sweat off the bench.

So this got me wondering, what are the funniest, most obnoxious, or downright irritating Gym Sins that you’ve experienced?
