What's considered good gym etiquette these days? We surveyed PS editors and readers to create codes of gym conduct.
— the judgments can be overwhelming. For the most part, we're team MYOB at the gym. But that doesn't mean we believe in total anarchy. Some behavior can step over the line, from kind of annoying to out-and-out rude or even straight-up inappropriate. Clearly, there's a need for solid gym etiquette rules.
You can also ask if you can"work in" and do your sets while they are resting. Many people don't mind sharing equipment, especially if it's easy to switch the settings. As a third option, ask the person who left them out if they're done using the equipment, or give them a kind, well-assuming nudge by reminding them they forgot to put back their equipment.If you're interested but need more details, it's OK to ask how many reps they're going for. Then if you still feel uncomfortable, politely decline and encourage them to ask someone else nearby.If there are a bunch of empty machines available , don't pick the one right next to someone else.
If you're really concerned they might hurt themselves, then either go over and ask if they want/need help or tell one of the trainers on staff that you're worried about another patron so they address it.Mind your business. Lifting isn't easy, and you're at a gym, not a library.This is a somewhat nuanced topic. If you're considering asking someone on a date, first ask yourself how awkward it will be if they say no.
If they're wearing headphones, leave them alone. Most people we spoke to agreed that's a direct signal that someone's not up for conversation.
