Gym etiquette/ unwritten rules

Does everyone abide by the rules or the unwritten rules?

Some things I took from a mag:

- A towel, water bottle and weights make up a work station. If any item is missing you can take the bench.

- Don't drop weights, it makes you look like a fool.

- The mirror belongs to the person in front of it.

- The person who wants your advice is one who asks for it.

- Wipe down a bench after use.

- If you're strong enough to lift a weight you're strong enough to put it back.

- Don't monopolise machines.

- Don't traipse water from the shower through the changing room.

- No headbands!

Happy swinging!

Don't sit on the machines chatting while a queue of irate people are waiting to use them. if you're here for a social meet, the cafe is downstairs!

"Dont fart when you do crunches"

Also true when doing Squats - farting on the way up is considered cheating.

Hands up to traipsing water from the pool to my changing room in my daughters posh gym.

The cleaner grumbled , mumbled , gesticulated angrily and generally showed her annoyance without speaking to me......

So ......

I went back in the pool n did it all again.

Don't use the changing room as a place to sit and gossip with your friend.

Someone may have been having an enjoyable private moment in the shower, and you walked in just at the wrong time, and now they don't want to come out and have to dry off and get dressed while the 2 of you sit there fully clothed and glancing over....

Can't forget farting while on the treadmill then trying to pass it off on the person next to you.

In my gym there is a clear message that mobiles are not to be used in the gym. I agree with that - people can go outside if they need to phone or text

Hubby's gym has a saying on the door from reception into the gym which says "If you suffer from ILS then pick your F**cking window".

Don't dominate the gym floor space by holding/shouting out loud conversations where others are working.

Don't talk about all the doom that has happened to you this week and is going to happen to you next week. Forget that for ONE HOUR and smash some weights.
