Do gym addicts annoy you?

Question

I recently have become obsessed with working out and have noticed that I talk way too much about it.

UnknownReflection · Accepted Answer

Gym addiction is not what would be annoying. I would be annoyed that you would talk about it all the time. Conversations and communications must be engaging and two sided. You need to listen to people too. You only get listened to if you listen to others. And you only learn new things when you are listening. So if you go on and make every conversation about yourself and one certain subject you are pursuing, you definitely going to annoy a lot of people and they going to lose interest in engaging conversations with you because they know what's gonna happen.

I don't like sport, gym, the outdoor activities (hiking etc.) and similar stuff, so I won't be interested in such things. I finds it boring, but it's not a problem since I'm always trying to find friends with the same interests as me and they can find their own sporty friends.

No! If anything I wish more people were passionate about fitness! I know my friends and family get sick of hearing me talk about my workouts or how much weight I've lost/gained for the week, lol

You just need to find other like minded people to talk to- then you can talk about it all day!

Nothing wrong with it. My sisters, and I, work out 5-6 days a week. The talking part is only bad when that's what you do most of at the gym instead of working out! ... lol

FriedPickles1218 · Answer

I mean...
I'm a gym guy myself but I don't share it with others. It's okay to talk about it. Just as long as it doesn't become obsessive. Especially because not everyone will be interested and that's okay 😊

I'm proud of you though!!!

More people should be fitness minded like you!!! It's better to be talking about a passion for fitness rather than how much you enjoy eating pizza and watching Netflix 😅 so keep it up! And don't feel bad about talking about it.

As a matter of fact, fitness is a part of my identity so much that I plan on becoming a personal trainer. I'm excited 😊

SjE78 · Answer

not really as it's their life but what does actually annoy me is when they start trying to tell me I should do it too
I had it when i was training to be a teacher of freestyle karate so while i wasn't teh fittest guy around (even less so nowadays) i got all the exercise i needed from my training and running around after 2 kids and working nights

StephenCF · Answer

Yes! I’m not a fan of health freaks. Their vanity aggravates me. Necessary exercise can be done modestly at home via regular walks (like I do) or lifting your own weights.

Exercise in a gym should only be for current or aspiring footballers, and fat chicks who struggle to find boyfriends

WingGirl · Answer

It really depends on how your obsessing. Sharing your times are progression is really cool and anyone, friend or date, should be cheering you on or sharing similar details. Now taking a ton of gym selfies. That's annoying.

Mitch1985 · Answer

Im a personal trainer so gym addicts are kinda my job lol

Mitch-french · Answer

Everyone has to follow it's path and of course needs to speak about it's passions. One has to keep in mind that unless you speak with another addict, speaking about him is really really really boring after 20 seconds. So politely we listen, but after that we tend to avoid that person who spoke about it for 40mn. Same for golf addicts, and run addicts.

yeeeeeeeet · Answer

I respect it. Strength is something you gain with your own hands and nobody can deny it from you.

Porcelaine · Answer

No, as long as they keep me out of it. I like people who look out after themselves in healthy ways, gym is one of them. Better than the opposite, someone who obsessed with junk food and can't stop

311WasAnInsideJam · Answer

It annoys me when people find reasons to talk about the fact that they go to the gym when nobody asked. Aside from that, I don't give a shit.

sp33d · Answer

To me it's positive someone has the determination to go the gym regularly, so in that respect, good for you. You likely talk a lot about it, because it's mostly all you know or rather, it might be something you are truly focused on for the first time. It'll pass.

humanearth · Answer

It could be about anything. Like don't get me talking on some subjects I will go on forever. Like conspiracy theories, old cars, film cameras, lingerie and farming.

inmensus · Answer

No. Why should it bother me that other people are constantly trying to improve themselves and their health? That's a positive thing. The only people that find them annoying are probably the ones with poor health that feel attacked lol

CreativeMumble · Answer

It would depend on how you talk about it.
I train as well - well, try to.

Though, if someone is judgmental of how much I train, how I train or something, then I would not want to talk with that person.

Browneye57 · Answer

Yes, you do. ;) Bear in mind that whatever you do, no matter what it is, job, hobby, career, whatever, is WAY more important to YOU than anyone else.

patrickstarz · Answer

No, I workout 24/7 because growing up I've heard the fat jokes and I got tired of getting bullied. I'm not fat anymore because I wasn't 6"5 my while life. I have the face shape and body shape of Carmelo Anthony short of. I can't remember the fat jokes but u remember getting bullied by my family and their tool friends

Gothd011 · Answer

No, because I live for the workouts and love talking all health stuff

Wolframium · Answer

Yes! These, and the travel people. Like…all of you, please: nobody cares. No, no, shut up, nobody cares. Nobody cares about how you work out or where you've been. They only pretend. So shut up, leave normal people alone.

InTimoreDei · Answer

People don't "always" want to hear about all your accomplishments and how "great" you feel. It can definitely get severely annoying to hear constantly. You have to find other obsessed people and talk about it with them instead.

Blueeyes81 · Answer

Anybody who has found a new found passion is annoying. We get. You're happy. Now lets diversify the topics of conversation.

emmily2396 · Answer

I th8nk you are confusing gym addiction (which is more like the lifestyle you need to gave to see results and be healthy rather than an addiction) and bragging too much about what you do there. Constantly talking about a topic can be annoying

MascGirls · Answer

Nope, but I wish female addicts would occasionally get off the cardio machines and try some weights, haha.

Bellamyx · Answer

I’d only be annoyed if it’s all they ever wanted to talk about. Otherwise, I appreciate people who try for healthy lifestyles.

Lynzerilee · Answer

Not unless they talk about it 24/7, brag about it and look down/push anyone that doesn't exercise but that is the case for many gym addicts.

Anonymous · Answer

Yeah theyre like vegans, annoying. If you work out and love the gym so much trust me we'll notice it. If you're overweight (no offence) and keep talking about it then you'll get a lot of people eye rolling in their head.

hhues · Answer

Anyone who talks about one thing too much is aggravating, but it's normal to talk a lot about something you just started

nealwilliams224 · Answer

No. People like to talk about the things they're enthusiastic about. Why should this be any different?

BBubbles · Answer

Yes. Do whatever you want, but don't bore people to death with your stuff.

CuriousMufuxka · Answer

No. I created a makeshift gym on my front deck to avoid useless advice and sweaty equipment. The downside is it's all been covered up for the last 3 months due to winter climates. At least there's push and situps no matter..

qxeenrrose · Answer

doesn’t bother me. What does is when you constantly talk about it.

Chikky · Answer

Yes and sometimes, they look good already but still not satisfied, so annoying

HomoFuge · Answer

No, I enjoy going to the gym though I don't talk about it as much as I do about books.

kay1523 · Answer

Only when it becomes their entire identity, and they have no other aspirations in life.

7Roses · Answer

Only if they base their entire identity around it and thats all they talk about. + if they're pretentious about it and look down on people who don't. That goes for most thing tbh.

A-man-22 · Answer

As long as it doesn't negatively effect your health or others around you then I don't see a problem. Too much exercise can harm you just like no exercise can.

BButterfly · Answer

I used to hate it because I thought that my husband's addicted to working out and the gym but I realized that it's one of his unchangeable habits and I stopped bothering myself about it anymore.

dalibara · Answer

Nah it’s cool. Especially if I need some fitness advices

Nivinxus · Answer

Not really, they helped me fix my form and provide decent tips to help my fitness.

elly91 · Answer

Not in my case... it's pretty obvious that if working out is one of your top priorities you'll talk about quite often...

Cask23 · Answer

I'd rather be around gym addicts with nice bodies any day compared to obese pigs.  Obese women calling themselves "curvey" is actually more annoying.

Dargil · Answer

Good that things matter. Not good if it excludes a relationship with me.

Meredith_124 · Answer

Yes, because that's all they will mention and stuff

Anonymous · Answer
