Gym Etiquette You Should Follow

We are not in your bedroom. No one wants to lift a weight that someone else has used and subsequently sweated all over. Put your house in order.

Keep your gear safe.

Studies have shown that compared to when people are not texting, texting while exercising causes a 45% decrease in balance and stability.

Don't text while working.

Once the coach screams "final sprint!", the information will be ready and waiting.

In a dark gym class, avoid checking your smartwatch.

The weights aren't even in a very complicated configuration, so this is the epitome of sloth. Put the 15-pounder in the compartment marked for it.

Don't rack your weights improperly.

It's okay that you like blasting hip-hop at full volume as you work out, but not everyone needs to be in the know about the songs you've been listening to lately.

Don't listen without headphones.

We are not hosting a fashion show, but rather a fitness facility. If you put forth any real effort, you can forget about looking glamorous.

Makeup is unnecessary.

You may use the whole gym, here. Find something else to do if you wish to utilize a piece of equipment that someone else is already utilizing. It's not hard at all, actually.

Don't loiter over a setter.

Find out how much it costs on Amazon if you have your heart set on a certain piece of exercise equipment, then start putting money aside.

Don't loiter over a setter. Don't leave your possessions on a bench.

That's not your bench, man. Find out how much it costs on Amazon if you have your heart set on a certain piece of exercise equipment, then start putting money aside.

Don't claim a bench and leave.

The use of headphones is the ultimate "don't f*ck with me" signal. Let the woman workout (and rock out) in peace and go to the smoothie bar.

Don't approach a headphone-wearer.

Please do not expect to see a film at this establishment. You aren't giving your exercise your whole concentration if you're watching the other people in the gym.

Avoid gazing.

Avoid the grunt. The gym is not the place to show off your incredible singing voice, no matter how much you wish you could audition for American Idol.

Grunt quietly, please.

It's nice to be muscular, but the gym is for lifting, not posing. Taking pictures of other gym-goers in your selfies will earn you extra points of shame.

Don't post selfies online.
