Gym Etiquette Article
Ok so I found this on Digg.com::
http://www.ploomy.com/2008/02/27/gym-etiquette-do-you-make-these-mistakes/
The guy goes over a few things that will keep folks at the gym from thinking of you as “that guy”… I think he forgot a few folks::
1) The whistler
( seriously … its not a concert )
2) The breather
( It’s great to get a few deep breaths in, but if I can hear you from 20yds away… come on )
3) The grunter
( You’re really struggling to get that last rep out, but try not to make it a regular occurence with EVERY rep. )
4) The talker
( I don’t give a shit about your kids sports career !! You need me to show you how to properly deadlift? Squat? More than happy to, but leave it at that, Im not there to shoot the shit. )
5) The forgetfull
( Repeat after me 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 … etc to 100+ ) That is the order the dumbells go after you used them. I don’t want to go lookin for a 45 and find a fuggin 10lb weight there …
6) The stepper
( STOP PUTTING YOUR DAMN FEET ON THE BENCH TO TIE YOUR SHOES ASS***E!!! I PUT MY HEAD / BODY THERE !!! )
7) The spitter
( Seriously, if it is an indoor gym DON’T SPIT ON THE FLOOR !!! )
8 ) The dangler
( I understand a quick trip in the nude from the shower to your locker, although a towel would help end a bit of shrinking / embaresement. However if you are sitting there talking to people in the buff as though nothing was … different, theres something wrong. Seriously cover up the roman helmet. )
9) The shower talker
( I’m showering for f**ks sake, I don’t want to talk to you )
10) The looker
( No… I’m not staring at you… you’re in my line of sight you damn bimbo, don’t scowl at me. You should be so lucky to have this hotness actually stare at you 8) … that’s right I’m conceited, deal … )
I’m sure I can come up with more but off the top of my head that’s all I got. I talk to everyone at the gym, have made many friends but it seems that whenever I go to the gym after work instead of at lunch I run into these fockers.
