    Seriously, how many times have you entered the gym only to leave frustrated because of meatheads, stinkpots and glorified prostitutes?

    Gym Etiquette: 25 Things You Shouldn’t Do In The Gym That No One Tells You About covers what a lot of gym patrons have been thinking, such as:
    -Common sense issues - where is it in the gym?!
    -Temporary paralysis & amnesia - 2 common side effects of weight lifting
    -Body odor & ridiculous amounts of body spray
    -Treating the locker room as a nudist resort
    -Spitting in the water fountain & on the floor
    -Gymtimidation - how people are trying to scare you out of "their" gym
    -Singing Out Loud - when has a workout needed to be an American Idol audition?!
    -Excessive screaming and recklessly dropping weights
    -Taking gym selfies & videos of other people
    -And so much more high-jinx, shenanigans, and other issues plaguing the common gym these days

    To help preserve the integrity of your workouts, safety and personal space included, the unwritten code of gym etiquette exists. This is a customary code of polite behavior, an unwritten set of rules that essentially is common sense. However, common sense isn't always common practice, so "Gym Etiquette: 25 Things You Shouldn’t Do In The Gym That No One Tells You About" points out the glaring issues and states what many hardcore fitness enthusiasts and truly dedicated people say, think and feel about gym etiquette.

    When these rules are broken, people create small disturbances and mild annoyances. Other violations may cause serious injury to hapless, unsuspecting victims who were just looking to get in a good workout. Simple steps and easy common sense actions will make for a better gym experience for everyone. So, abide by these easy-to-follow rules in gym etiquette to make everyone’s workouts safe, fun and effective.

      INTRODUCTION

      I’M AN OLD-SCHOOL FITNESS ENTHUSIAST who enjoys a no-frills gym for all my workouts. Sure, occasionally I’ll do my workouts at home or on-the-go, but about 90% of my workout regimen happens at the gym. No, I am not into CrossFit boxes, group fitness-specific clubs or state of the art gyms with a climbing wall, wrestling bear and smoothie bar. Not that I think poorly of those types of fitness establishments, it’s just that they don’t necessarily have what I want.

      I just want a good workout space that is clean, safe and has friendly gym-goers that I can briefly engage with in my time. My primary reason for a workout is for my health. There was a time that I wanted to impress people with my strength, show off my bulging biceps or prowl around like I was king of the jungle. But, with years of experience and a little humility, I realized that the main reason I should go was to keep old injuries from haunting me, keep my heart in good health and manage my high-energy levels. Everything else is secondary to those three goals.

      When you come between me and my workout or make it less effective that is when I have an issue. I don’t mind if you interrupt me to ask a question or greet me. I’m okay with quick socializing; after all, I’m not a complete stick-in-the-mud. Also, I’m not bothered if you have a question about whether I’m using equipment.
