Crossfit gym etiquette

[lmnop07]

Would this piss you off? 11PM and went to 24 hr fitness. 5 of the 6 bench presses didn't have the bars on them.. I'm thinkin to myself WTF? I look around and see a group of 5 individuals doing a crossfit workout together in the empty area of the gym, doing clean and presses with push-ups inbetween sets... Initially I'm pissed off and sit there and wait. I eventually grab a bar off the squat rack and start my bench routine, and my workout was ruined because i was so pissed. I completed my hour workout and they're all 5 still doing clean and presses... What would you say to these people? Is this messed up to do? Not proper gym etiquette ?

As a gym manager, I would let them....Ive never seen a rule in any gym saying bars cant be moved around....as long as they put them back. it would be equivalent to 5 random people doing bench at the same time.

im sorry that happened man. i know how it can ruin a workout.


as a person who understands fitness - i would never allow xfit

As a person who does crossfit at a normal gym I think it's completely inconsiderate. I try to stay out of people's way and not hog certain equipment. Or just avoid busy times all together. I suggest you just ask them how long there going to be, and they'll most likely get the point

I agree, they are in the middle of a workout and it is just as important to them to have the equipment available. Maybe you could ask to join them?

Op, I think you're over reacting. Their workout is just as important to them as yours is to you. You found a bar in the squat rack, so problem solved and just move on.

Yes, I would initially be annoyed too, but you let that annoyance grow into something much bigger than was appropriate for the situation, and as a result you ruined your own workout. I think you should have refocused your mind instead on crushing your sets.

Dude try visiting a Japanese gym, Google it, you will see how much worse it is over here!

i dont go to 24 but im sure at 11pm, the gym isnt busy so i see no big deal with them doing their workout. Not like their is a 24 hour crossfit gym. I think you just wanted to be mad because it was crossfit lel
