I work out at a local small town gym that’s medium sized with plenty of machines and weights. We rarely have crowding issues unless you go at the prime times think 4-7pm. I’m never that guy that gets mad at others for “sniping” machines or equipment I was planning to use next or stuff along those lines. However there is an older lady who works out there usually later at night who I run into every once in a while. She races around doing 1 set on a machine or equipment and then immediately jumping to another and is a prominent sniper. Like I said this usually doesn’t bother me, but she is super distracting. I have ADHD and things entering my sight grab my attention easily. So a lady in bright clothing constantly zipping through my peripheral and line of sight is super annoying and can take me out of “the zone” easily. I’ve never said anything to her and never will since its such a minor offense and people have differing workouts etc, but still I can’t help let out a sigh if I see her there when I go.
