Jrad’s Guide To Gym Etiquette – How not to be a c*nt in the gym

// JRad // August 27th, 2009 // How To, Jrad's Blog

Here is a list of mandates I believe should be posted on the walls of every self-respecting gym:

 Use deodorant. If you smell you shall be evicted.
 Stop making those really loud moans when you lift the weights. You sound like an idiot and you are annoying everyone else around you.
 Only girls are to be wearing shorts that show more than two thirds of a thigh.
 Place the weights on the ground gently. It’s called having good form and control. You don’t need to drop them from great heights to show your macho ability to lift heavy things.
 Respect the equipment – see rule 4.
 If you came to socialize go outside. Don’t waste valuable gym equipment / station time talking to your friends who you’re just going to facebook when you get home anyway.
 Fill your water bottle up before you get to the gym you time-wasting fuck.
 Please wont you wipe ALL of your sweat AND hair grease from the equipment.
 When naked in the change rooms, face towards your locker and put on underpants before doing anything else. We really don’t want to see your nads as proud of them as you may be.
 If your arms are bigger than your legs, maybe consider doing some squats and leg presses.
 Why the hell are you wearing a hat inside the gym?
 Don’t hover around staring at someone who is using the equipment you want to use. Discreetly wait to the side or find another exercise to do in the meantime.
 Seriously, put the weights back on the rack. If you’re at the gym to lift weights, why do you have a problem with lifting them back onto their stands?
 Why the hell are you wearing tracksuit pants at the gym?
 Tanning booths ARE bad for you.
 If you’re not sore the next day, you didn’t workout hard enough.
