Gym Etiquette Do's and Dont's

[Shirawilliam]

Always, and I mean ALWAYSScience Based Six Packcarry a towel with you. This is so you can wipe off the equipment when you're done. Think about it, you're going to sweat and there's a little thing called gravity, yep, you're going to leave your mark just like I told you earlier. So, imagine you are heading toward a bench and someone has left a nice hefty puddle of sweat literally dripping to the floor. Tell me, and be honest, that you would have no problem just laying down in that?

Yikes! There it is, plain and simple but here's a little tip for personal hygiene. Get yourself into the habit of always placing one side of the towel toward the equipment and the other is the side that will come into contact with you. (Here's how I do it, as I'm starting my workout I automatically check the towel edge to see which way the edge seam is finished off and that's the side that always goes down, toward the equipment. Neat, eh?)

PUT IT BACK! Or in gym lingo, re-rack your weights. If you pick something up, put something somewhere, drag something around, change anything, put it back to where it belongs. This is not difficult to do and believe me, there's a lot to the phrase "monkey see, monkey do!" You can be the change that you want to see or better yet, be part of.

Trust me, everyone in the gym knows the guy/gal who refuses to "pick up their toys" and clean up after themselves. But that's the world, I'm afraid to say, so just be aware that you can make a difference and be an example of what can be.

There are many more things to be aware of when you're in the middle of your workout but for the most part it's mostly about just taking stock of where you are and how you're affecting those around you.
