A little courtesy goes a long way.
Going to the gym can be intimidating, especially for newbies.
So instead of alienating other people in the gym, you, as a regular gymgoer should do well if you follow the four important reminders or secret code of conduct of fitness vlogger/coach Julian Roxas.
Respect other people's time
It is important for gymgoers to be mindful of the time you spend on a machine.
Julian explained that other people might want to use it too, so make sure to be efficient with your time using any equipment.
Wipe your sweat
Never forget that hygiene is important when using gym facilities. So if you are someone who sweats a lot, do not forget to bring a towel to swipe your sweat off an equipment or a bench.
Return the weights or dumbbells where you got them
Discipline is important and you should practice it also while working out. So after using weights or dumbbells make sure to properly return them where you got them.
Doing so will ensure the gym looks tidy. It also prevents anyone from tripping on a dumbbell, which may cause serious injuries.
Greet your gym mates!
Finishing a routine or a specific work out could be exhausting. So it won't hurt if you say hi or even ask the people how they are doing.
Julian Roxas stressed that people should stop being a snob inside the gym.
Take it as an opportunity to meet new friends or expand your connections. Doing your exercise will be more enjoyable if you have a buddy to help you.
For newbies, remember you don't want to make any bad impression on your trainers or fellow gym mates.
So the next time you visit your local gym, keep in mind this basic etiquette to make your gym experience worthwhile and less stressful.
