1. The music is terrible

Nothing like an 'upbeat' gym soundtrack to remind you of the audio horrors of Cascada.

2. Everyone parades about naked.

I'm not talking about discreet inevitable nudity of trying to get dressed after a gym shower, but the full-on towel-free "here's my enviably toned groin" striding. Kudos for your confidence, folks, but it's NOT what I signed up for.

3. The fact that despite the immense effort, you've barely worked off your afternoon Kit Kat.

Yep it takes around half an hour of constant running to burn just 250 calories. What's the point? :'(

4. Most of the people in the swimming pool are unbearable.

There's the way-too-slow swimmers, the olympian-wannabe swimmers overtaking you in the slow lane and the ones that manage to splash water everywhere with every stroke. Forget front crawl, it's the endless stress that gets your heart rate up in the pool.

5. When guys try and flirt

Right now, when my face is like a beetroot and I have underboob sweat patches? SERIOUSLY? The only thing worse than being the victim of this is watching someone else go through it. Criiiinge.

6. It brainwashes perfectly nice people

The gym creates those kinds of people that let their fitness regime become their identity. They clog up your Instagram feed with their gym selfies and profess their gymmy love in the FIRST line of their Twitter bio. Brainwashed.

7. The butt sweat marks on seats

BLEURGH.

8. The fact everyone in the gym is totally staring at you while you work out.

Okay, they're probably not, but you're paranoid that they are. You get so self conscious trying to run at high speed without stacking it that you actually do end up stacking it, because you weren't concentrating. THEN everyone looks at you. You can't win.

9. The fees are a crime

"Okay, so that'll be £100 a month to put yourself through intense pain, both physically and socially, and deal with other people's butt sweat. Ooh, and there's the £30 joining fee. Cash or card?" *facepalm*

10. The weird male grunting noises...

Why are some breeds of gym-goer unable to exert themselves without letting out a guttural roar? It is gross and annoying in equal measures.

11. The whole concept is just... weird.

Take a step back and actually think about what the gym is. It's a bunch of people really close to each other, panting, sweating and ultimately getting naked. When did this become a social norm?!

12. Everyone else looks bloody amazing.

All the dedicated non-gym-haters look completely amazing because of their hard work, dilligence and ability to be totally rational about all of the above issues. SWINES. Beautiful, beautiful swines.
