Since last fall when I finally complained to my hubby about my lack of time to hit the gym - he and I have been trading days to get up at 4:30 am (we have a toddler and teenagers -when do you think we can work out?) and go to the Y.
I am NOT in the greatest shape of my life, yet, but I am working on it - and need the rest of you to know the rules I have learned about manners and etiquette at the gym.
It was something I felt passionately about after a few 'iffy' mornings of people interupting my high on the treadmill - and as The Countess says - Anyone can have class.
Alright, alright, alright. I said I was going to have more patience and be nicer to people this year, but writing this will prevent me from shoving one of these annoying people off their treadmill - OKAY? ;)
- Do not get on the machine NEXT to someone already working out if there are others open! Unless you know them, then it is a fun distraction!
- If you MUST get on a machine next to someone try to find someone at cool down, or just starting, not someone in the zone.
- If you MUST get on a machine next to someone in the zone - do not "f" around. Get on and start working out - do not start and stop a bunch of times, and futz with a book AND a newspaper, you are being DISRUPTIVE. stop it.
- Do not wear heavily scented lotion or ANY PERFUME at ALL to the gym. You are there to get sweaty and people have asthma, I do NOT want to have to use my inhaler because you wore your perfume to the gym!!!
- Do find a place AWAY from people if you know you are having a gassy day. Like the LAST row of machines, not the first - so when you fart your scent hits us all. Just not classy dude. Even my gass-ius husband knows this one.
So there you have it, the rules you need to not cause the woman next to you at the Y to scream inside her head for you to GO AWAY!!!!!!!
I hope it was helpful.

When gas-seous...definitely going to the far end - alone, is a wise decision.
HAAAAAAA! These are good!
I'll remember these! As if, right?
Love it!
