1. Clean your sweat.
2. Use deodorant.
3. If someone gave you a tip, say thank you even if it’s useless.
4. If someone asked you to spot, you spot. Unless its too heavy for you.
5. Put your weights/plates away when you’re done with them
6. If more than 2 people are using the same machine/bar/rack, don’t ask to work-in.
7. If someone asked you for a spot, you ONLY spot. Don’t lift the whole weight for him, don’t stand back looking while he is about to get crushed, simply spot.
8. Don’t curl on squat rack. “nonnegotiable”
9.If you see someone with a terrible form or doing a wrong workout, correct him, don’t record him.
10. Sometimes the gym gets crowded. If someone bumped into you, doesn’t mean they are looking for a fight.
11. If you found a lost item, give it to the desk. If that was your phone, you would want others to do the same.
12. Unless you legally own the gym, you have to wait in-turn like any other person no matter how big you are.
13. Be confidant, not cocky.
14. If you talk more than you lift, shut up.
15. Don’t text and lift.
16.If you see someone about to start a set, don’t start a conversation.
17. Don’t block someone’s view if they are using the mirror.
18. If someone smiled at you, smile back EVEN if you are in “beast mode”.
19 girl are here to workout too, not to hookup.
20. Shout, Yell, Make Noises, whatever you need to do when you lift heavy, but watch your tongue.
21. Respect skinny, overweight people. You were like that one day, and you are at the gym working hard to change.
22. Don’t ask random guys if they are on steroids just because they look big.
23. Don’t use more than 2 equipment in peak-times.
24. If someone went to drink water, doesn’t mean its okay to take their bench/rack/weights.
If you have any more, go ahead and add
- Stay strong and humble ;)
