    Angry Creepers In The Gym

    Seriously, I'm not one to care if I'm stared at in the gym because I'm a woman or blah blah blah.. any of that.
    I'm not intimidated, etc. HOWEVER, I have recently discovered a huge annoyance of mine and it's throwing my stuff off track a little bit, which is turn is frustrating the living hell out of me.

    There is a difference between having someone stare at you, and having someone FOLLOW you.
    Literally, there is a guy at my gym that I seriously have to wonder if he waits for me in the parking lot or something, because he ALWAYS seems to be showing up exactly when I am (I don't go to the gym the same time every day). Once in the weight room, he will seriously start to follow me around. He will stand right next to me while lifting and sometimes even do the same exact lift as me. I would say it's whatever but THERE IS SO MUCH ROOM! haha.
    It's driving me INSANE because it makes me unable to concentrate because there's some creep following me around. I have tested it. I have moved around the gym (it's rather large) sporadically to see what will happen. And no doubt, he starts coming where I go about forty five seconds later.
    We have never even spoken a word to each other, it's just this weird awkward thing going on. Some people I know at the gym pretty well have even mentioned something about how creepy it so I know it's not my imagination! haha.

    I have tried the whole death glare thing and all that (I know, lol) and that apparently is not working.
    Any advice? I don't even want to speak to him to tell him to stop, honestly.
    I literally left the other day because it was creeping me out so badly because I worked a longer shift than normal at work and didn't get into the gym until about 2AM and it was just me and him... I am not one to leave the gym for any occasion, that's how bad it was.

    I'm assuming this is probably something I should make known to someone at my gym and see what they can do about it because it is seriously interrupting stuff for me. Happened to anyone else?

    Hahaha!

    And yeahhhh, I'm definitely thinking that's what I should do. Otherwise soon I'm just going to start doing it to him. He will think he's following me, but I'm actually following him. :P

    s*** you not, had a guy follow me at the gym before. He kept using machines and doing lifts I was doing (idk why) anyways I just did some feet to bar core then turned and watched him fail. I guess I'm just saying, find a way to make him feel like less of a man, have some fun w/ it. Worst comes to worst, get him kicked out the gym. No need for ppl like that ruining your workout

    Lmao! You had a guy follow you!? That's interesting... hahaahah!
    And I have thought about taking that approach as well because he can't lift ****.
    He has never actually lifted more than me, just the same amounts... which are usually my warm up set! Ohh this is brilliant.

    He probably thinks you're fit and wants to have the body you have... so he follows you around training the same body parts so eventually he can have that body.
    Just turn around and talk to him.. altho then he might think you are mates and then wont stop talking to you everytime your there..

    I can imagine one of two situations:
    a) he thinks you're fit and is trying to learn from you (and either doesn't care or doesn't realize he's a creeper. Keep in mind most people who are mentally stable would notice the "death stare" and realize you don't want him around- but some people can be dense.)
    b) there's something wrong with the guy and he really IS a creeper. You are describing some very late night workouts- and I am imagining the gym is pretty empty at those times. I moved from one gym I was at because there was a rumor a woman working out alone at 2am got raped. Better to be careful- mention him to the staff. If it is so bad that you are noticing him and creeped out enough you are changing your workout- it's time to mention it to management.

    Yup, looks like you got yourself a workout buddy OP. Tell him if he's gonna follow you around all night to at least spot.

    Well I was going to suggest that you start wearing weird workout clothes and acting like crazy eyes, but this is even a better idea.

    Although, it might be hard (no pun intended) to workout with a strap on.

    Oh my god! That's scary! I usually don't work out at 2 in the morning, thank god. It just happened to be the only time I could get in the gym that day. Usually I go when it's actually the most busy which is around the 5:30PM area. I will try the whole talking to him thing but I have a feeling it might just make it so much worse! lmao.

    If I could get away with that, it would be a top consideration of mine. I love when I have the gym to myself and something tells me everyone would probably want to leave if I walked in like that. Hahaha!

    lol I cant help smiling .. Sorry it really is creepy.. But I had a woman who was doing this t me. Yep a woman. I really had to change my times of going to the gym coz it was creepy but it was realllly pissing me off as well.. She would come and stand within 2 feet of me.. And do the same things I was. No hint from me rolling my eyes and muttering under my breath haha..It was like a show down..I changed my times.. Then started sneeking back at other times..haha Funny but not funny... She is gone now.. I am really relieved... I have my space back.. Good luck with your creeper...

    There is a difference between having someone stare at you, and having someone FOLLOW you.
    Literally, there is a guy at my gym that I seriously have to wonder if he waits for me in the parking lot or something, because he ALWAYS seems to be showing up exactly when I am (I don't go to the gym the same time every day). Once in the weight room, he will seriously start to follow me around. He will stand right next to me while lifting and sometimes even do the same exact lift as me. I would say it's whatever but THERE IS SO MUCH ROOM! haha.
    It's driving me INSANE because it makes me unable to concentrate because there's some creep following me around. I have tested it. I have moved around the gym (it's rather large) sporadically to see what will happen. And no doubt, he starts coming where I go about forty five seconds later.
    We have never even spoken a word to each other, it's just this weird awkward thing going on. Some people I know at the gym pretty well have even mentioned something about how creepy it so I know it's not my imagination! haha.

    I have tried the whole death glare thing and all that (I know, lol) and that apparently is not working.
    Any advice? I don't even want to speak to him to tell him to stop, honestly.
    I literally left the other day because it was creeping me out so badly because I worked a longer shift than normal at work and didn't get into the gym until about 2AM and it was just me and him... I am not one to leave the gym for any occasion, that's how bad it was.

    I'm assuming this is probably something I should make known to someone at my gym and see what they can do about it because it is seriously interrupting stuff for me. Happened to anyone else?

    I had something similar happen to me back when I was at uni, a guy who was probably 15 years older than me started showing up at my gym, before long he was showing up everywhere, at my work, in the same cafe at lunch times etc. It was really creepy and forced me to change a lot about my life in order to shake him off.

    If I was you, I would do a couple of things. Report how you are feeling to the gym management, so they can keep an eye on him. Secondly, find a workout buddy, preferably a big male one, might scare him off a little if he thinks you are with someone.

    I'm a guy but I've had that happen to me with both sexes and more than often it was because they didn't know how to approach to ask for advice. Or were to shy to ask but came off as creepy. But if your gut tells you creeper tell the staff.

    While this thread had me LOL-ing, I think you've got a potentially dangerous situation. I could understand if he showed up at the same time every day, but the fact that you have gone at others and especially at 2AM is creepy as sh$t.
    I'd report him to management and if the gym is empty don't go in. Maybe management could give you his name and you could look him up for past crimes? Although idk if they'd get in some sort of legal trouble for that.
    Does your gym have cameras?

    I feel like I have accidentally done this before. While the gym is actually pretty big the free weights, machines and racks are all pretty close and its not hard to end up in the same place as the same person multiple times. She glared at me but I was was kinda like fuk off.

    Anyway I think it may be time to speak to the staff tell them he's making you feel uncomfortable. Who knows maybe you aren't the only one this guy is doing it too.

    UGH. I know how you feel. I recently had to switch gyms because of a similar situation. I'm at the gym 6 days a week at the same time, so I always see the same folks. So this one dude starts getting friendly and talking to me every day about general work out stuff. Ok, that's fine. Then he starts hugging me whenever he sees me. Eh...Ok I guess. THEN he starts kissing me on the neck when he hugs me...NOT OK. The last time I went to that gym, I was warming up on the upright bike, and I felt someone come up behind me and kiss my shoulder. I turned around in shock and saw him standing there with this terribly creepy grin. NOT OK. DEFINITELY NOT OK. I was afraid to do anything about it, because he was this huge scarry looking thug dude and I'm not trying to get shanked in the parking lot...So I switched gyms. now I go to a smaller gym where everyone is part of this big bodybuilding family. No creeps, no one there for any other purpose besides LIFTING WEIGHTS.
    I highly advise you to take action! Say something to him or mention it to the staff. I also like the suggestion of bringing a large workout buddy..haha. Such a bummer that there are so many creeps out there. Good luck, lady!

    Right?! What person thinks it's ok to kiss a stranger???? Once he started hugging me, I even started to try and avoid him completely. I'd spot him and move to a different area of the gym. I NEVER took my headphones out. But once I started doing cardio for my prep, he would approach me while I was on the stairmaster or bike...I was backed into a corner!! So glad I escaped.

    InB4 serial killer

    1.) If this is real OP, you need to start documenting this. What kind of car does he drive with license plate number? Is he watching your place of work? Is he waiting for you in the parking lot? Is he watching your home?

    2.) Carry protection.

    Any normal guy with honest intentions would have either talked to you by now, and made himself familiar with you, or he would have at least left some hints about it with other people. This guy is up to no good OP.
