Is there such a thing as gym etiquette if so what is it please? For those who don't know (thats me included)
Generally for me:
- exhale on reps is fine and should be done. Screaming or loud grunts are ridiculous (slightly counterintuitive as well).
- please practice normal hygiene (i.e., deodorant). Im referring to upon arrival, when you sweat thats out of your control
- speaking of sweat, clean up when done on a machine/bench
- rerack your weights/dumbells/etc...
- if busy and on a machine/bench/etc, get off the phone and finish so someone else can use after being done. Rest during the reps obviously but im referring to those who will be there scrolling the webs for minutes at a time.
That first one made me laugh, I could just imagine someone screaming, I wouldn't know if they are in pain or they need to take a poo really bad, I'm sorryGenerally for me:

Can't you tell them to politely get off and text elsewhere ?People at my gym use the equipment as texting lounges. They just sit there...and text. I'm standing there waiting to use the machine, but they just sit there.. and text.
One I haven't seen pointed out is, wipe the equipment if you sweat on it. Don't have your music so loud simeoso else can hear it.Is there such a thing as gym etiquette if so what is it please? For those who don't know (thats me included)
