    Things people should not be doing at the gym:
    1. Eating chicken soup on the Stairmaster.
    2. Hanging their undies in the squat rack
    3. Doing their taxes on the spin bikes
    4. Drinking champagne in the locker rooms


    Sweating is ok. I think.

    You're confused about number 4. I fully condone this provided the person shares.

    Point of clarification--would it be okay for the person to spread the champagne buffet all over the counter/bench in said locker room?

    Of course. How else do we celebrate our PRs?

    Ever see someone walking on the treadmill drinking a 2 liter bottle of coke?

    Can't say that I have. I have seen a milk drinker. I was just thankful he didn't start running.

    Why would that be bad?

    You go to the gym to sweat. Just be courteous and wipe the machine down when you are done. Haven't you heard the saying, "If you still look pretty leaving the gym, you didn't do it right"

    sweat wipe repeat

    Proper etiquette would dictate that you wipe it down when you're done, not as you go.

    wait, a guy was sweating in a gym? Why the hell would anyone sweat in a gym ...??? I don't understand what is going on here....

    I thought you were supposed to stand around and do nothing in a gym...?

    I'm thinking this may become a new rule at Planet Fitness...no sweat zone baby.

    You would hate me I sweat immensely and I mean after my work out I look like I just jumped in the pool. I have yet found out how to turn off my sweat glands. If this offends you find another machine. Or another gym. Now a while back due to some other issues I had really bad gas (that is another story)

    what about sex and champagne in the locker room???

    Sex in the champagne room?

    The sad reality is actually that there is no champagne in the sex room.

    "sweat alarm"

    or their new slogan will be:

    "no sweat/no judgment zone"
