Form Critiquing at the Gym


This happened again this morning at the gym and I get confused about the intention. I've never considered correcting somebody else's form at the gym, but I've been corrected multiple times. I don't look approachable. I'm always sweaty and gross. It happened twice when doing push-up intervals, so, by the end, my push-ups were starting to lose form and it happened again today while I was doing squats with free weights (not bar).


I feel like this critiquing stems from three reasons: wanting to show how much more they know about working out, genuinely concerned about my form for my sake, or hitting on me.


Does anyone have insight on to the likeliness? I'm a woman with a small frame. I have been working out (6-8 x week) since I can remember. I feel like I have a good idea of correct form. It bothers me when people try to correct me, but maybe I am looking at it wrong?
