Totally agree, love to do the circuit training, but hate to waste time waiting for a turn on the machines. I totally don't mind waiting for people who are actually working out. On the other hand, I can't stand waiting for people socializing on the machines in the Villages. And when I am up north at the YMCA, the problem is even worse, but different. Kids (anyone younger than 50 are considered kids for me) like to sit on the machines for ever, doing whatever it is they do with their cell phones. Cell phones should not be allowed in work out areas, period! I don't need to check texts, make phone calls, or have some kind of app tracking my work out. Just work out, sweat, shower, and go home.
