    She used the squat rack for about 2hrs. That's rude enough as it is, but all but about 15 minutes of it was spent taking selfies, playing on her phone and then a friend showed up and she chatted with her for about 30 minutes. She brought a blanket and had her bag in the back of the rack too and was camping out after each set. Oh...and each set was one rep and at least 10 minutes between each!
    Unfortunately, that kind of behavior is more common among resolutioners. This may offend some, but IME it's true.

    This has nothing to do with being a mere beginner. It has everything to do with being a beginner who hasn't done basic research on exercise and who doesn't approach the gym with a determined mindset. For obvious reasons, that's going to be more prevalent among people who wait until the holiday festivities to start.

    IMO, it's just young folks these days being generally inconsiderate of fellow gym members. Primary concern is social media image and not that they may be inconveniencing people in the gym. I've noticed this isn't really a problem with the 30+ year old folks. This young lady is probably 20ish.
