Gym Etiquette 101

[FoxyT]

I really do think they should hand out a Gym Etiquette Manual when people join a gym. *Big Time!*

For some of us there are a few frustrations that we run into at the gym.

What rules and guildlines should gyms Implement when it comes down to gym etiquette?

[FLYBUCK]

1. Wipe down the equipment after your done.
2. No curls in the squat rack
3. If someone has on earphones.. they probably don't want to talk to you.
4. If asked for a spot, don't be a di*&... take a few seconds and help someone out.

just to start...

[Hardcore Natural]

1) Don't grunt and groan when you're lifting puny ass weight just to draw attention to yourself.

2) Don't stand in front of the d-bell weight racks while working out...people NEED to get to the weights...go stand somewhere else.

3) Don't waste my time talking to me while I workout. I am here to workout, not chat like we're in Starbucks.

4) Don't wear jeans in the gym when working out... just looks retarded. Get off your wallet and spend $10 on some sweat pants for christ sakes.

5) If you're utilizing the squat rack, you better be squatting.

6) Do not use a flat bench to sit on and do curls...fuuk, that pisses me off.

7) Unload the barbell when done...don't leave your crap for others to unload.

8) Girls....don't wear your clubbing shirts to the gym to workout in...this is not attractive even if you THINK it is. You're in a gym. A gym is for WORKING OUT...not prancing around hoping some dude's gonna notice your tits. You'll get noticed more if you're wearing appropriate gym attire and lifting some freakin weights and breaking a sweat while doing it!

Don't look me in the eyes.

Edit: Not unless you want to be punched in the throat.

Fortunately I work out privately with a personal trainer. I'm just starting out, and have found that a good grunt will help me with the last 2-3 reps in a set of "puny ass weights".

But, I can see the distraction if I were in a public gym.

[FoxyT]

1. people who like to claim more then one machine
2. people who walk away from a machine and come back 10mins later thinking it's theirs!
3. some guys thinking their work outs are more important then mine cuz I am a girl and they totally interrupt my work out by being so ignorant to me.

To be cont...

In your case, that is totally cool.

Bawhahahahahahahhaa....

[Gym God]

There is no reason for body odor before you even lift a weight... and even then you shouldn't stench up the place.

[ThickAsABrick]

Remember to turn the engine of your golf cart off after driving to the nearest bench (prevents catabolism).
I hate it when people leave their engines on.

[FoxyT]

4. Girls who put on perfume before they work out..GROSS, make my sinuses burn!

5. People who chat on their cell phones while working out...Hello? why even bother coming to the gym, just stay home and talk on your cell! You don't look cool, you look like a fool! ...hardy har har

6. People who work out right infront of the free weights... get the F*ck outta my way so i can grab/put down my weights.

That should definately not happen. I don't feel like sneezing in the squat rack.

I solved that problem by asking one of the gym employees to push me to the bench in a rolling chair.

[user8905438904904]

1)People that put on enough plates so they could do 1 cheating ass half rep, the proceed to walk around the gym like they are going to kill someone.

2)People that do bicep curls in front of me when I am doing incline dumbells, I am not a very nice person and I WILL THROW THE DUMBELLS AT YOU!!

Oh. It's just that I was working out when I read that, and my workouts are more important than hers because she's a girl so I can't pay any attention to her and I swear you better gtfo of my squat rack or I'm gonna burn this mofo to the ground.


Btw, we've seen this all before.

[FoxyT]

You ladies spend hours trying to impress people like myself, and you are usually clueless.

I'm here to help.

Here are the 5 steps on how to impress John Von Auerbach:

Step 1:
What I say is more important than what you have to say. Be a good listener.

Step 2:
Dress appropriately at the gym. No one wants to see a lady in a loose fitting looney tunes t-shirt. Tight = Right.

Step 3:
Be sure to always complement me on my gains. Nothing will make me want you more than making me feel huge.

Step 4:
If you have kids already, make sure they are fit. There is nothing that turns me off more than a Mom who lets their kids eat sugar cereals.

Step 5:
Spare before hair. If you are still fat, make sure to pay attention to your gut more than your hair. I don't care if your hair looks nice if you've got a huge muffin top.

---------------
Who is John Von Auerbach:
John is virtually a life coach for women.
John's Tip of the Day:
There is no better place to meet men than at a
local gym at noon to 3 on weekdays.
They are serious about their fitness.

1. do not talk to me when im in a middle of aset
2. if your in the gym come to w/o then go home dont prance around the gym for 10 min between every set
3. Men shouldnt go up 2 women to tell them they are doin an excercise wrong just to chat them up
4. when squating make sure your ass is facing a wall and away from my face ( in case of protein farts, those things are lethal)
5. i dont want to tell you what supplements i take during a w/o
6. dont stand in the way of the mirror when im doing a set

this thread should be a sticky

[FoxyT]

Okay back to business here...Lets stay focused....*the horns pop out*

Back to the Rant!!!! Mawahahahahahahahahaaa

All guys don't mind seeing a hot chic at the gym, but it's funny if you actually watch them workout...because THEY DON'T!...they are just there to show off their hair, fake tits and designer threads...pretty funny **** if you ask me.
