Gym Rules for a beginner.

 Gym etiquette revolves around being considerate, clean, and respectful of the shared space and equipment by cleaning equipment after use, putting weights back, respecting personal space, keeping noise to a minimum, and avoiding phone calls and unsolicited advice. Following basic gym rules promotes a positive and safe environment for everyone.

 

Respect Equipment & Space

• Wipe Down Equipment:

  Use disinfectant wipes and paper towels to clean equipment, benches, and machines after each use, especially the parts you sweat on. 
• Put Weights Away:

  Return dumbbells, barbells, and other accessories to their proper racks and locations. 
• Don't Hog Equipment:

  Be mindful of time, especially during busy periods, and share machines or circuits with others. 
• Ask Before Sharing:

  If you need to use a machine another person is using, ask if you can "work in" with them, rather than just taking it. 
• Respect Personal Space:

  Maintain a respectful distance from other gym-goers and avoid standing too close when they are exercising. 

Maintain Hygiene & Noise Levels

• Practice Personal Hygiene: Wear clean clothes, use deodorant, and avoid overpowering perfumes, as sweat can amplify these scents. 
• Use Headphones: Keep music or other media private by using headphones. 
• Keep Noise to a Minimum: Avoid excessive grunting, shouting, or other loud noises that can be disruptive. 
• Handle Weights with Care: Do not drop weights, as this can damage equipment and create hazards. 

Be a Considerate Member

• Limit Phone Calls: Take phone calls outside or in a designated area. 
• Avoid Unsolicited Advice: Do not give exercise or training advice to others unless they ask for it. 
• Be Mindful of Your Belongings: Use lockers for your belongings and avoid leaving bags, towels, or other personal items on the floor or equipment. 
• Respect Others' Privacy: If taking photos or videos, ensure other people are not in the background without their permission.
