The complaints are usually from women talking about faster male runners revving up the treadmill to 10mph, sweating profusely all over the machine, staring at women while they run intensely, making hand gestures in the air like they are celebrating the finish line of a race they just won, etc.
If you are one of these types of people at your gym, try to be more modest when you run at a quicker pace on the treadmill. Cut all the histrionics.
I get the "sweating profusely" part (but I'm wondering how you propose that people curtail that type of "histrionics"), but I have yet to see anyone on a treadmill stare at women while running fast (and I doubt it happens more than it happens among men running slow, lifting heavy, lifting light, etc.), and the only time I've ever seen someone make hand gestures on a treadmill has involved two young women (different gyms, decade apart) who appeared to be listening to Christian music and making "praise the Lord" gestures while lip-synching (or quietly singing along) and walking or running.

sweating profusely and staring at women while they run intensely
I’ve seen this at my gym. Specifically one guy who always walks in with a very intense face. He gets on treadmill and runs like he thinks he’s in the Olympic final or something. Runnint super fast, looking like he’s hunting something. Most people don’t want to run on the treadmills next to him because he looks like a crazy person.
I bring my own towels all around me to wipe as much sweat I can every .2mi/ .3mi.
the amount of hurt egos and hurt pride is ridiculous fr all the Karens, quick judgment, condescending attitudes, blind lunacy..
im just there trying to get my workout in. at these speeds, hardly time for joyriding. we need to focus on being smooth. runners work. work harder than the avg joe can imagine.
Why would a true runner gloat? Cuz as we all know, there's always a faster runner coming to humble us.

Is this a serious post? I am honestly not sure... I have seen videos of women getting mad at men for lifting heavy weights in the weight room before though... Cuz apparently lifting weights in a weight room is bad???
10mph, that’s 16,1kmh, or 3,44min/km or well into the range were focus is needed to maintain form on a treadmill - unless your gym is in a particular area of Boulder or Kenya.
That’s some fast pervs you have in you gym, I can’t notice a fine Lululemon clad dernière at anything above 12,5kmh, even straight in front of me.
Joke aside, when doing intervals on the treadmill, I (& many assumed others) focus on an imaginary point ahead to avoid having the habit of looking down, so I imagine some people might confuse this 10000 yard stare into nothing as looking at them.
Sorry yoga pants, I am not leering at you, but looking at the future tears of my brother when I will crush his PR in a B race bwahaha.

The meatheads chasing everyone off "their machine" during their circuit routine.
The bluehaired ladies reading Cosmo as they sit on the recumbent bikes.
Practically everyone sitting on machines while playing on their phones.
The creepy guys who are just there to perv on the ladies.
I cancelled my membership during the Covid hysteria and will never go back. I got some modest equipment and can accomplish everything at home that I used to do there, without the human freak show.

You know most online videos are fake to "go viral," right?
I've literally never experienced any of this. In fact, I'd like to see more actual runners on the treadmills instead of the guys who hop on to sprint for 2 minutes.
Thousands of hours of relevant observation on this one. Are there guys who go too fast and make a scene on gym treadmills? Sure. But they are extremely few and far between.

Most of my gym people just walk on the treadmills. I do long runs indoors on a treadmill get weird looks and occasional complaints for setting mine to 8-8.5 mph. That's right, 7-7.5 min/mile. They tell management the treadmill looks like it's going to break going so fast (these treadmills max out at around 15 mph) or that the belt generates too much noise like that. Their complaints get ignored, but it's way common. The "fast runners" on these treadmills go 6 mph for 10 mins. There are faster people on the bikes and occasionally the ellipticals. But even hobby joggers have enough self respect to go run in -6F or use a diff piece of equipment than the treadmills...except for me apparently.

Or the idiot who said walk 8,000 steps a day and lower premature death by 40%... the amount of infinite walkers on phone in gym is ridiculous.
if the op clientele came into gym and did what they were suppose to bring in good energy for a real workout, all our collective miles would click by faster. we would all win.
but toxicity has infected the world and we all get to hate on ea other..

It's legit. I am a bit of a gym rat, and women behaving atrociously at gyms, filming it, then posting it being completely oblivious that they are the ones in the wrong is kind of its own genre. There are dozens of videos of women like this that are indeed real.
