Forcing good gym etiquette

[MassEffect]

So lately I've been doing some research and using gym people as humans rats. I've been noticing a few of these douche bags in the gym that take up the machine and never let a set in, so I decided to test. I've started placing some discomfort in the people that hog the machines, saying things like mind if I work in. I had two guys not respond at all. So I figured ok lets push a few buttons... So I said to the dudes, dang it's too bad this gym has bad etiquette. For those who actually train hard, its kind of unfair ain't it? The dudes both freaked out, like as in didn't realize that they were hogging up the machine..... so try it, if you're in the gym and some asshole ain't budging, make them budge...

How long have you been having these feelings? Do you feel like they are triggered by smellier people?

 

[MassEffect]

No, I'm not even using. The point is, I switched gyms. Golds was way better on etiquette, but Club one sucks.... the people are upper class. I am just saying, don't let money go to your heads and don't forget respect.

I think it also depends on when you go... I've seen a whole different atmosphere at 5:00 in the morning, than in the afternoon and evening. It feels like the bros at 5:00 AM are serious; they get in, do their routine, and get out. By about 10:00, the other people start drifting in, carrying newspapers and iPads, and a thermos of coffee. Those are the ones who plant themselves on a machine, and use it as a desk. By afternoon, the high school kids get there, and start being loud, leaving plates a bbs all over the place, and doing showoff lifts and slamming the barbells on the floor deliberately, trying to bust the earthquake bearings in the foundation.

It's really up to the manager to do something... Put up signs asking for courtesy, and ENFORCING the rules. It's just not going to work for one gym member to tell off another.

i live in a camp half the year and we got a tiny gym full of meatheads who sit around and bullshit all night on the only piece of equipment i need every fucking time. i do it every time. idc. if ur gonna lift then good on ya. if not fuck off. ill scrap ya over it. ill make u my workout bitch

 

[Sub-Zero]

i ask small dudes how many sets they have left because i know they will always say "one" because im that asshole

if ever i ask someone and they say "three or four" i say "thats too bad" and stand there anxiously. if they rest longer than a minute i tell them im working in

I just go to a 24 hour gym late at night because I get the entire place to myself. This way I dont have to deal with ANYONE at all.

 

[CoBra666]

sometimes i like watching ppl. there are these 2 guys i see every night. both are alot bigger than me. one guy is pretty defined and shit and is weaker than me, and the other dude is huge and can lift a bit more than me, 20 pounds on bench and about 50 on squat. but he is twice my size. horrible form. looks like a fuckin idiot. its good for a laugh

imagine if he used good form, he might be almost as weak as you

 

[CoBra666]

yep, he should be ashamed

I live in a small town with only one gym. But in all the times I've asked, "mind if I jump in for a set?" I've never had someone say, "No".
