Today’s Topic is: Five Things You Should Never Do in the Gym
1.Hogging a Machine by being on your Phone
This really bugs me because I have limited time there. I don’t want to wait for a machine when someone is just catching up on social media.
2.Talking Loudly to Others
Again the gym for working out not for chatting with your friends. Meet for coffee after for that. Plus, I’m don’t wait to hear the details of your life.
3.Leaving a Machine with your Sweat.
Yes, gross. There are towels nearby so wipe it off when you’re done.
4. Coughing/Sneezing and Not Wearing a Mask.
It’s not just about catching COVID or the Flu (I’ve had all the latest vaccines) but I don’t want to catch a cold either.
5. Walking Two A Breast on the Track.
Again, this happens because people want to chat while they’re walking. See #2. But they are not paying attention and walking SLOW.
I had to go around them 45 times last Saturday!!
Yes, I can walk around you but it’s hard because the other lane is for runners.

I am sensing common pet-peeves! They mostly boil down to being considerate of others. I know I can get wrapped up into what I’m doing, but I try to be aware of how that impacts others and adjust if needed.

I’m sure you do not do any of the above.
People can be so inconsiderate sometimes

Not wiping off the machines is always rude and gross! Good reminders for everyone

People on their phones just watching videos while sitting on the workout equipment drives me crazy! Another one I have is guys (it’s always men, never women) that do something like 7-8 sets so they’re on the equipment for 30 minutes straight. No one needs to do 30 minutes of chest press.

Yep! These are all annoying, and I’ve seen every single one. Except that my gym doesn’t have a track, but I’m sure if we had one people would do that!

I do like the track to walk but 15 laps = 1 mile so. not ideal for running.

I can relate to all of these! I think not wiping down the equipment has to be one of the worst offenses.
