Gym Etiquette

Ok, so I have been hitting the gym hard for the last 5 months and I have noticed a few things that I think that people should do to be considerate to the other people that are using the gym. This is just my way of complaining. Feel free to add to the list.

1) Wash yourself before you go to the gym in the mornings. No one wants to smell day old feet, butt, and other body parts that have been sweating the day before and all night. Oh and put on deodorant….please.

2) Wash your gym clothes. There is no reason to wear the same shirt a shorts for an entire week.

3) Give people some space. This goes for the people working out on the mats. If there is a big open area there is no reason you have to be right next to me. This also goes for the people that like to get on that one treadmill that is right next to you when there are 15 empty ones in the gym.

4) Please wipe down all equipment when you are done. I don’t mind the smell of my own sweat, but I don’t like when it is mixed with yours.

5) No creepy stares. It is ok to look, but you will make people feel uncomfortable if you continue to stare. This also goes for the employees.

6) Don’t show up to the gym to hang out and walk around the gym. You give the stalker feeling.

7) If someone is taking a while on a piece of equipment…wait or find another machine or weigh tto use until they are done. Don’t bug or stare at them until they get done.

8) Share the dumbbells and curl bars. There is no reason you need 3 sets of everything at once.
