Taking selfies at the gym is the thing which most Swindon gym users find annoying, according to a new survey.

Velocity Health & Fitness gyms - part of Village Urban Resorts Swindon at Shaw Ridge - commissioned a survey of more than 2,400 gym goers.

It found that 76% of users find people taking selfies to be the biggest bug bear in the gym.

This was followed by people dressing inappropriately for exercise and leaving the changing rooms dirty after use.

The survey found that 70% of those polled found men to the most vain in the gym, whether flexing muscles or looking at their hair in the mirror.

And 62% expressed concerns at the unnecessary levels of nakedness in changing rooms.

Despite these irritations, 84% wouldn’t voice their concerns about poor gym etiquette to a member of staff.
