Gym Etiquette Rules You Need to Know

It's a good start if you have started going to a gym or health club.

Whether it's your first time at the gym or your 100th, you need to follow a set of rules or maintain a certain sense of decorum when you are working out in a public space.

Here are some Gym Etiquette rules that you need to know:

1.     Sweating is important while you exercise. However, with sweating, comes the body odor. If you want to prevent people from running away from you (literally) while you exercise in the gym, use a deodorant to keep the odor in check.

2.     As no one likes to use sweaty weights or machines, carry a small towel and wipe down the machines after every use.

3.     Avoid dropping the weights on the floor. This can damage the gym floor or injure someone else.

4.     Re-rack the weights after using them. Putting the weights or equipment at their right place will help the other members to find the weights when they exercise.

5.     No one likes to be criticized or judged, especially in the gym where they have come to achieve their fitness goals. Therefore, don't point out or make fun of people when they are working out in the gym.

6.     Don't use your phone while working out. To concentrate on your exercise and avoid a potential injury, keep your phone in your locker or bag. Even if you need to take an urgent call, head outside the gym. 

7.     Don't reserve the machine or equipment for yourself. Be considerate of others and their time and allow them to use the machine during your rest time.

8.     Avoid keeping your things or personal belongings out on the floor or on other machines.

Following these basic gym rules and etiquette can make your and others workout session enjoyable and productive.
