Gym Etiquette

1. Safety First:

a. If you are unsure of how to use a piece of equipment, don’t use it at all until your trainer gives you the proper instruction.

b. Likewise, do not try to instruction another member on how to use a piece of equipment if you are not a trainer.

c. Never walk in front of or behind a lifter without their permission while they are performing a lift.

d. Likewise, do not talk to a lifter while they are lifting and do not talk to anyone while you are lifting.

e. Return equipment to its proper place when you have finished with it.

f. Consolidate your stuff so that you or someone else won’t trip over it.

g. Always ask for a spot when you need one; Avoid lifts you need a spot for if you are alone.
