How to behave at the gym

How to behave at the gym

You are not some 130kg monster lifting huge weights. Don't throw the 10kg dumbbells on the floor like you just could not hold onto them for another second! Put them down nicely. You will just look like a big dumbass throwing gym equipment around for no reason. You might even brake the dumbbells by doing that. Honestly, a lot of people seem to use energy to throw them harder into the ground than if they would just drop them. 

If you are done using a machine/a station. Remove the weights and put them where they belong. That way people can see that you are done with it. Plus not everyone wants to use the same weights as you did. And your mother does not work here and clean everything up for you!

If you really like to use several machines/stations at once and jumping between them. Do it when the gym is NOT full of people waiting to use those stations.

If you do not know how to use a certain maching or station. Please ask someone to show you. When you are waiting for a certain station it is quite frustrating to see someone using it completely wrong! Another example, if you want a bench to do situps on. Don't use the ONE and fucking ONLY benchpress in the entire gym!

Don't stand around a station for half an hour talking about your weekend. Perform the damn work out, then leave the station to people who needs it for their work out routine!

Just be nice and polite and people will reward you by being polite in return. There is nothing wrong with being new and not fully understanding everything. Just ask, most people won't bite.
