Over the course of the day there is going to be at least a few times where someone leaves sweat dripping all over the equipment and does nothing about it. You do not want to be the person behind that person.

This has become exasperating to me how many times it happens. Please remember to use a towel. Wipe down the sweat on the machine for the person behind you. You do not want to be the person who has been dripped on by sweat so do not do it to someone else.

People take their bad habits of not picking up after themselves at home straight to the gym. Loose weights are commonly found in the free weight room.

Do not rely on the employees to pick up after you. They are not your mother. They do go around and pick things up but they cannot keep up with everyone not doing their part. It is not that difficult to take a little extra time.

The busiest time for a gym is right after work in the early evening. This is not ideal for getting equipment but you just have to work with others. Cardio machines should not be used for an hour when there is a waiting line. Thirty minutes is more appropriate.

Lifting weights may have you allowing someone to work in and alternate doing sets with you. There is no need for you to rest on the machine between sets when someone else is waiting. You might even end up with a workout partner from the experience.

Etiquette is underrated and sorely needed at gyms. Do your best to show some and you may end up with someone using some good manners with you.
