1) Being on your Cell phone!

Leave it in your locker!  If you are chatting while on your cardio equipment- guess what- you aren’t working very hard then as well as annoying people around you.  One of my biggest pet peeves is people texting or calling during a group exercise class. If you are waiting for an emergency call, maybe take the day off from the gym

 

2) Being an Equipment Hog

Many gym’s have time limits on cardio equipment, especially during peak hours!  Cross train then! Jump on another machine or train off hours.

Weight Equipment- oh boy- should we go there? Did your parents ever teach you about sharing?  Rest OFF the equipment- maybe stretch a little while your neighbor does a set

 

3) P-U!! Scenting it up!

Gag me with Vanilla lotion! Or Hugo Boss!  Or should we say Everything Garlic Bagel- yuck!

 

4) My Sweat is your sweat!

Clean your equipment after you are done- period! That is just nasty! Did you ever see that Seinfeld episode? Just like you shouldn’t pee in the shower, you shouldn’t leave your sweat dripping all over the equipment.

 

5) Blah blah blah!

Some people go to the gym to —work out. yes, it is a social atmosphere, but be careful you are not the blabber mouth. It’s cool to chat- but you should watch for signs of you are annoying—like following around someone from machine to machine.
