All equipment in the gym is available to all members. Do not overdo it with just one machine, as this is not a desirable exercise routine. Running on a treadmill for two hours is not polite behavior towards other people who would also like to use it

Etiquette or rules of good behavior also apply to exercise. When you go to the gym, never be rude. Follow the rules and don't act too relaxed, like at home.

1. Wipe the devices

Sweating is part and parcel of exercise, but leaving wet marks on gym equipment is not part of etiquette. That's why it's important to use a towel, that is, wipe behind yourself. Remember that most appliances are covered in leather and wet spots will show if you don't clean up after yourself.

2. Exercise

Some people come to the gym to chat with friends, send emails, take selfies, or even take a break. Pay attention to other people and do not take equipment from those who would use it for exercise.

3. No phone calls

Is there anything more tiring than a person talking loudly on the phone while others are trying to concentrate on exercising? It would be best to leave your cell phone in the locker and focus all your attention on strengthening your body.

4. Don't overdo it

All equipment in the gym is available to all members. Do not overdo it with just one machine, as this is not a desirable exercise routine. Running on a treadmill for two hours is not polite behavior towards other people who would also like to use it.

5. No pressure

Exercising on one machine for long periods of time is not desirable behavior in the gym. It is also not polite to stand in front of a person who is exercising with his hands on his hips and suggest with facial expressions that he hurry up so that you can take the machine.

6. Store the weights

Put everything in the gym back to its place after use. This especially applies to weights that you shouldn't leave anywhere you want. This could cause someone to fall or get hurt.

7. As little nudity as possible

There is always one person in the dressing room who parades around naked. Don't treat the common areas of the gym like your home. You may not be embarrassed to show your body, but be understanding for others who do not want to see such scenes, reports Nezavisne.
