Have you bought a gym membership but don't know how to behave there? There are general rules of conduct, which include both safety and ethical aspects, aimed at creating a friendly atmosphere.
Instructions
Step 1
Purchase appropriate clothing such as cotton T-shirts, shorts, or pants. Pay special attention to your shoes. Do not exercise with socks or open sandals, as there is a high risk of injury. Sneakers are not sports shoes, but walking shoes, so it is best to wear sneakers for training. Leave your bags and mobile phones outside the gym. The former will take up a lot of space, the latter will be annoying and distracting. Be sure to take a towel with you and take care of your personal hygiene.
Step 2
Do not distract those who are currently exercising on the apparatus or performing the approach. Asking questions or making fun of them, you not only interfere with their focus, but also risk provoking conflict. Do not give advice if you are not asked to do so and if you are not a coach. Is there a mirror in the gym? Try not to block other people who train with you.
Step 3
Free space is extremely important during exercise. In addition to the psychological aspect, small boundaries do not allow for a full training and can even cause injury. Therefore, try to keep a distance of 1 meter with those who work on apparatus and strength equipment, as well as while running, etc. Don't take the shells for long - respect others.
Step 4
Be polite. If the apparatus or simulator on which you want to work out is busy, ask after how many approaches it will be free (but only when the person finishes the set). Do not refuse help if you are asked to insure. Firstly, it means that they will help you at the right time, and secondly, it brings even strangers closer together. In the gymnasium, as in other public places, obscene language is prohibited.
