Gym Code II

[Guest guest]

Here are a few more I didn't pick up when I was pasteing. For me,

the dropping weights, returning weights, sweat hogs, and swearing

drive me to be so perfectly happy working out at home!!! LoL!!!

Don't get me wrong, I am not some princess, but geesh, there is a

place for everything and in my face ain't it!!! Haha!

The written rules of the gym are usually few and designed to ensure

members safety, convenience and equipment care. You are probably

familiar with the majority of them. These rules are all fairly

straightforward and come out of common sense. These written rules

are also grossly outnumbered by the unwritten rules of the gym.

1. Dropping Weights

Dropping weights on the floor can cause injury to yourself or others

and can also damage the equipment itself. Always set it down as

gently as you can.

2. Returning Weights

This is a simple matter of courtesy to whoever is using the

equipment after you. Not everybody can or wants to unload ten 45-

pound plates off the leg press machine. Place dumbells back on the

rack in the slots where they belong and always remove your weights

from the machines unless the next person specifically asks you to

leave them on.

3. Proper Attire

Wear appropriate clothing for exercise. This mainly refers to shoes

but can include things such as wearing jeans in the gym.

4. Sweat Hogs

Wipe benches off if you sweat all over them. It's even better to put

down a towel before you use the bench. You don't want to lie in

other peoples sweat so extend them the same courtesy.

5. No Swearing

This is a very common sense rule. Profanity can be offensive to

others. If you have to scream in the middle of a tough set, make it

unintelligible.

6. No Smoking

If your gym doesn't have ashtrays on the stair-machines, chances are

it doesn't allow smoking in the gym area. If you need to smoke, go

to a designated smoking area.
