Ever wondered if gyms have a code of conduct too? The answer is yes! It is not a place where you go to flaunt yourself. It is the place where you indulge in intense workouts with a whole lot of other people sweating it out too. We’ve already told you about about how to dress right for the gym and this time we have come up with a set of rules/ things to remember when you’re at the gym to ensure a safe and productive training environment for you and the people around.
Please take note of the following gym etiquette and if need be, stick it on your gym’s wall for the benefit of others as well.

1. We know you like sweating your calories out. What you should also know is that you need to wipe it up as and when you do. Nobody wants to see or feel your sweat either on the floor or on the machine.
2. Never attend calls when you’re working out. Firstly, it is a nuisance to the people around and secondly, you might want to think about stepping away from the workout bench so that someone else can use.
3. Avoid strong perfumes as some people around you may find it allergic.
4. You may be self-obsessed with your six-packs but gym is definitely not the place to click selfies, especially when it is crowded.
5. While using the mirror in the gym space, make sure that you don’t block the visibility for others.
6. You may have a brilliant voice which your friends love to hear. But try to keep your singing music to yourself at the gym.
7. Create a positive environment by saying ‘Hi’ to new people and being accommodating.

 

8. No dropping dumbbells. If you lift them, you lower them.
9. Always remember to keep things in the place where you picked it from. Unload the weights once you’re done.
10. Don’t indulge in loud & long conversations/ chit-chats with your gym-mates inside the gym. Others might get disturbed.
11. Stay at home if you’re sick.
12. Do not stare at people while they work out.
13. Dress appropriately.
