    Hey! I'm kind of a "resolutioner." I knew I wanted to adopt a healthier lifestyle prior to the new year, but wanted to give myself a little bit of time to warm up to the idea & really commit - & get all of my favorite things out of my system for a little while (hence, my "last meal" @ Olive Garden - yum!!!) I haven't joined a gym just yet, as I've been outside running & trying fitness games for the Wii and 30DS, but I'm here to stay - so get used to me!!! ;)

    I started taking a variety of classes at 5:00 am back in November. There were only about 10 of us there and it was GREAT ~ after the new year that number doubled, it has already started to slim down again. I am hoping by April the instructor has a bigger area.....

    They're all gone from mine for the most part.
    The one's who have stuck it out however leaving freaking 150 million pounds on a free weight bar than leave it in the middle of the free weight area and never put it away. WHO THE HELL do they expect to do that????? I didn't know who did it so I just complained really loud about it and continued with my little 10 pound weights.

    It bites being ahead of the game. I started my gym in Nov and Dev. I loved going and classes were always open. Since Jan, I can barely get into any classes and the machines are in use all the time. It is cool they increase membership and more people are getting fit, but if they are selling classes, then they should increase the number of classes if membership increases a lot. If it doesn't get better by March, I'll likely stop my membership since I joined mainly for the classes and will just stick to my home elliptical and kinect/wii.

    Yeah, but I ignored my resolutions until April.

    I hate the newbies that come in and sit on a machine until their done. Get up and let other people work in!!

    >someone on the flat bench just sitting
    >I walk up to him
    >"hey i'm going to work in with you."
    >He just stammers saying ok and stands up.
    >I do a set and step away saying
    >"ok your turn, go."

    Its that easy

    Well if you're dressing like your profile pic at the gym, no wonder! ;) The resolutioners are still at my gym too and i second the '*kitten*' quote. lol. I normally give them until March or so. Don't worry! They'll drop off eventually

    I do wipe down the machines and anyone with common sense would without having it spelled out to them.

    That being said, the gyms should definitely educate its new members. So...complain to your gym, and be pissed at stupid people..not just "resolutioners."

    Might want to lay off the steroids btw. Your rage is showing. :laugh:

    You may want to do some more research before you start opening your mouth about how little you know about steroids.

    I waited three weeks into January for this reason. But the gym seems to only be getting busier and busier on Mon and Wed. :grumble:

    *looks up a few posts*

    *sniff sniff*

    I smell a troll.
    I agree with OP. Gym etiquette! For the love of all that is sanitary and timely.
    Or, do what I do, put on your running shoes, pound out 5 miles, come inside and do a round of P90X, Jillian Michaels, Insanity or TaeBo (at least until you learn your manners)
