Learn Your Gym Etiquette

Hi, I’m Archie Jay and I work-out at the nearly very day, and way too often do I notice people not following the gym rules. I would like to work-out in a place where everyone takes care of their own business and wipes down their own equipment. For all these reasons, is why I feel it necessary to go over gym etiquette.

• Be quiet. Phone use is a definite no-no. And go easy on the grunting. You’re not at the Olympics.

• Clean off the machines. You don’t want to sit in someone else’s sweat, so why make them sit in yours?

• Stop dropping the weights. Few things are more jarring at a gym than the loud clank of dropped dumbbells or barbells.

• Share the equipment. If you are circuit training, trade off sets with someone else, that way you can rest while someone else lifts.

• Watch your odor. Clean your workout clothes on a regular basis and don’t wear overbearing perfume or cologne.

• Pay attention. Working out with headphones on or earbuds in is a great way to stay in your own zone. But don’t ignore the zones of others around you.
