Just something in the gym that you think could be designed better, something you use but wish you didn't have to, or something that just exists and wish it didn't.
I like my smith machine, great when training by yourself and doing high rep pump sets till you are about to die, use it mainly for incline bench though, got it cheap though otherwise I would not bother with it.
Most PecDec machines I have used are just wrong, and don't work.
A fixed bar smith machine. If I had my way, it won't be allowed in any gym.
My reason? It's due to the locked path of the bar, which was designed to create the feeling of safety and security, but instead, ends up giving you what in my opinion is a false sense of safety, and a greater potential for injury creation rather than prevention.

I love my Olympic dumbell handles...I can fit 50kg with just the 5's on it.
The most useless for me is definitely the smith machine but it's actually great because it keeps people out of the squat rack
