Some gyms or fitness clubs have specific rules for their members, like they have to be at least a certain age and can’t make a lot of noise or yell while working out. But there is also a set of unwritten rules that everyone at every gym or fitness club should follow. Unfortunately, many people seem to either be unaware of these rules, or they just don’t care to follow them. One thing that bothers me when I’m working out at the gym is when I’m on a treadmill, bike, or other cardio machine and the person next to me keeps looking to see what level I’m on, how many calories I’ve burned, and how long I’ve been working out. It’s like they’re trying to compare themselves to me and make working out into some kind of competition. I’m just there trying to get my workout done. I don’t need someone else judging me while I do it. Please keep your eyes on your own machine and leave me to work out in peace. Another thing I can’t stand at the gym is when someone leaves one machine to go work out on another, but intends on coming back to that machine and then gets mad when you take it from them. If you leave your machine it is fair game for anyone else to use. You can’t reserve a machine for yourself, it’s first come first serve. Everyone’s just trying to get their work out done and you make it a lot a harder when you try to claim five machines at one time. Pick one and stick to it until you’re done. Finally, put your equipment back when you’re done. Don’t leave your weights or other equipment just lying around for others to trip over. It’s also annoying when you go to get certain equipment and it isn’t there because someone didn’t put it back when they were done with it. These really aren’t hard rules to follow. Please keep them in mind the next time you are at a gym or fitness club.
