Hogging Equipment
It’s important to consider that your fellow exercisers may
be on a tight schedule or engaged in a workout program that requires them to
take minimal rest between sets of exercise. Be considerate of others who are working out
and only use each piece of equipment for the amount of time it takes to
complete your set of exercise.
Not “Working In”
If your gym tends to be crowded at times when you are working
out, it is important to understand the acceptable way of sharing
equipment.
“Working in” refers to taking
turns with one or more people who are using a single piece of equipment. Each person will perform one set of
exercise, wipe off their perspiration then allow the next person to perform one
set of exercise.
Taking Up Too Much Space
It is accepted that exercisers are going to carry a certain
amount of gear with them around the gym.
It’s important for gym newbies to refrain from carrying around
excessively large gym bags and unnecessary items.
You should take up as little space as possible
when working out and try not to clutter walkways and floor space.
Hogging the Water Fountain
Staying hydrated during your workout is important for your
performance and general health. If you
are going to use your gym’s water fountain during your workout, only spend as
much time at the fountain that is necessary for you to take a couple gulps of water.
Don’t stand at a water fountain for an
extended period of time filling up a large water jug.
Not Wearing the Right Clothes
Most gyms have policies that prohibit members and guests
from wearing certain types of clothing.
Most members adhere to these rules but don’t consider how important
their apparel is in the performance of their workout.
For example, sport-specific shoes are
designed to address a specific limitation that some people experience when
exercising.
Chatting on Your Cell Phone
Not only is talking loudly on a cell phone in the gym
annoying; it can be dangerous. When
people talk on their cell phones they generally lose concept of space and time
and are distracted from their surroundings.
This is especially dangerous when attempting to perform an exercise
while on the phone.
