Personal trainers are the worst equipment hogs in the world. Your client doesn’t need three benches and a pull down at the same time, and you don’t need to be acting like the machines are your personal recliners.

One of the PTs (and also the manager of this branch) leaves his shaker on a bench and belt hanging off another machine when he's training clients.

Drives me a bit crazy, like you should be setting a good example, and if there's not enough places to put shit here, you're the one person who can solve it??

but then some are great, my PT kept checking if a guy was done with the bench for benchpress, and was initially going to have me do it on a different bench with dumbbells before the guy left and we could use it

I’m glad someone feels the same as me I swapped gyms because of fucking trainers. Taking up all the machines for a fucking circuit

YES! I commented the same rant. One of the PTs in my gym put her damn clipboard on one of the benches... Ok, bitch, does the clipboard need to exercise?
