Gymming is a well-accepted and effective way to maintain your body. Here are some rules every gym goer should follow.
Just like every society has rules, some unsaid and unwritten rules about the gym need to be followed. Not only are they easy to follow, but they also help make the gym more accessible for all fellow users.
Leggings Aren't Yoga Pants
To presume that yoga pants are the same as leggings won't take you far in a gym. Gym wear is made primarily with robust materials to keep you comfortable through your exercise. Wearing just any pants can make you super uncomfortable and may even tear in the middle of exercise.
Don't Make Noise
The gym-goers will not be impressed by the loud grunting or exercise noise you make. In your own imagination, you're a rock star, but it won't give any encouragement to the others.
Don't Take One For The Team
Do not indulge in group projects. Even if you make friends, do not do it in the gym while exercising. The moment you start chatting in the gym, your productivity will reduce.
When You Are Done Working Out, Wash Your Gym Clothes
This seems normal, and there are situations when you are forced to exercise beside a person who stinks. It is not the sweat but the gym clothes that have not been washed for centuries. Make sure you wash your gym gear after each session.
Please, Keep Your Shirts On!
This applies to everyone, no matter how unique your six-packs are or how cute your pot belly is, keep the shirt on. Wear gym clothes, so you are comfortable in them, and keep them on until you are in the building.
Make Sure Your Machine Is Running Smoothly
As annoying as it is to see that your machine is broken, it should be passed on to the following user in good condition. Make sure you use it carefully and inform the manager if anything is broken because of you.
Don't Spit
In the house, who spits? A lot of folks, it seems. It might seem really weird, but some people find it very reasonable to get rid of their building sweat and saliva in the gym.
Don't Speak Too Loudly
Nobody wants to hear your chat, whether it's with your lover on the next bike, your mother on the phone, or anybody else.
Return The Weights To Where They Came From
Having one set of weights available when you need them is a real pain in the neck. Most people use the weights and then leave them scattered all over.
