Gym Ettiquete Tips

• Share. If you're doing multiple sets on a machine, it's common courtesy to let others work in during your rest periods. This may not always be practical, but offer to share whenever you can.
• Clean up After Yourself. Always bring a towel with you and wipe the machines down when you're finished or use the spray bottles and paper towels strategically located around the gym for this purpose.
• Leave no trace. Always put your weights back when you're finished.  The next person should not have to unload your weights before loading their own and sometimes they may not be strong enough to do so.
• Keep it down. Unless it's an emergency, save your cell phone chat-time for after your workouts or keep your voice low enough to not disturb others.  Never answer your cell phone in the middle of a group fitness class.
• Cover it up. Keep the locker room a comfortable place for everyone by covering up after your shower.  And ALWAYS place a towel on the bench before sitting down.  Towels are required in the steam room.
• Follow the leader.  When participating in group fitness classes, follow the instructors directions and participate as part of the class. Modified and advanced options are provided when applicable - but don't go to class if you are going to do your own thing, it's distracting to others.
