GYM ETIQUETTE

Like anywhere else, manners are important in the gyms too. Show you've got class!

1) Share the equipment
It is for everyone. So don’t sit on the machines while you rest and let others to use it between your sets. It’s not there for your comfy seating while you are on the phone. Let others to do what they came to do too.

2) Keep your sweat to yourself 

Wipe the machines and benches with a towel after use. I know, we all sweat in the gym and that’s fine but it’s quite gross lying in someone else’s pool of sweat.  

3) Unload the weight bar 

Well, maybe not everyone can lift the same weight plate you can, so it would just great if you could leave the bar clean. 

4) Put the weights where they belong 

I hate running around gym looking for something I need and cannot find, don’t you? You don’t make mess at your house so why to make it in the gym?  

5) No blocking of the water fountain please 

Just drink your water and go. Don’t make everyone behind you wait until you catch your breath.

6) Mind your body odour 

I know this sounds obvious but trust me, my experience says otherwise. Please, for Gods’ sake please, wear clean clothes. There is nothing worse than one week old sweat smell.

And just something extra at the end – please be nice to others, don’t stare, don’t laugh, keep in mind that everyone had started once, even you, so don’t discourage people. Gym is a happy place and let’s keep it that way.

Lovely fit day all!
