Gym Etiquette (Sweatiquette) • Do wipe up your sweat, please! This includes mats and machines. Keep a towel with you at all times. No one wants to sit or lie in someone else’s sweat. • Don’t hog the weight machines. When others want to use them, agree to rotate your sets. Follow the club rules. • Do reset the weight machines back to a low setting. Otherwise, the next person may have to spend time resetting them—or worse—could injure themselves by trying to lift a weight that’s too heavy. • Do limit your time on the treadmill or other cardio machines. The rule is 20-30 minutes if others are waiting for a turn. Again, always follow the club rules. • Do obey the fitness center’s rules. These may include wearing correct workout shoes, not using cell phones and signing in at the front desk. • Don’t use perfumes in the locker room. Out of concern for members with asthma or allergies, limit the use of perfumes, hairsprays and other spray products to a minimum. • Don’t be late for personal training sessions and group fitness classes. It’s your dime and think of the persons in line after you. • Do your part to keep the gym clean. Keep your clothes and other personal items stored in lockers. Clean up after yourself in the showers, sink, and changing areas. Deposit used towels in the proper receptacles.
