For years, I’ve worn Beats headphones to the gym, because the bigger the headphones, the less likely it is for people to talk to me while I work out. It’s not that I don’t want to talk to people, it’s that I don’t want to talk to them while I’m in the middle of a workout!

Despite my best intentions (big headphones and a game face on), I still get interrupted all the time. I thought I’d compile a list of the most ridiculous gym interruptions I’ve experienced, in no particular order. Enjoy!

Guy who interrupted me in the middle of a set of lat pulldowns to insist on a fist bump.

 

Guy who asked me for diet advice but interjected when I began to answer to tell me all about his pet wolves???

Ice Cube looking at the camera

Lady who told me she liked “what I’ve done with my body”. It made me feel somewhat like a remodeled home.

 

Guy who approached me while I was doing glute bridges and implied that he was good at thrusting as well.

GIF and Image

Guy who came up behind me while I was doing pullups and held my knees to spot me, when I clearly didn’t need a spot. And then came back and did it again for my next set.

Christian Bale sitting in front of a window

Guy who stared at me as I did dumbbell bench press, forcing me to sit up, remove my headphones and ask him what he wanted. He was just “making sure I didn’t need a spotter”.

A man looking at camera

Lady who I’d chatted with once who asked me for advice about using a machine, and then winked and said she knew I would know because, “Ohio girls do it better”.

Lort. Help. Me. Have you ever had to deal with annoying people at the gym?
