Joining a gym is a great way to maintain a workout routine. But when you’re just starting
out, it’s hard to know the proper gym etiquette. Don’t be intimidated – remember these
3 quick tips:
If you don’t know how to use it, just ask! Experts like me want to show you how to use
each piece of equipment safely. Wait your turn and be on time.
Use common sense… sign-up ahead of time for popular machines or classes.
Practice good hygiene. Take a towel to keep sweat at bay. Always
wipe down a machine after you use it to curb the germs, and it’s just good manners.
Bottom line, if you’re new to the gym, see if it offers a free orientation to get you
started. You’ll feel more comfortable and become a true gym regular in no time. �
