1. You don’t wipe down your machines
When you work out, you should work up a sweat. Therefore, when you’re using equipment, there’s a good probability that you’re going to get that piece drenched from your fat crying. If your gym provides towels, take one. If they don’t, bring your own. I highly doubt you want to get on a piece of equipment that has sweat all over it, likewise, no one wants to get on a piece of equipment with YOUR sweat all over it. Wipe it down and make sure it’s clean! Some gyms have spray bottles sitting around to disinfect the equipment, use it. This is one of the fairly common gym guidelines out there.
2. You arrive late to classes on a regular basis
So you’re one of those people who will probably be late to your own funeral? Well, keep coming to classes late and interrupting everyone by your tardy entrance and that funeral might come sooner rather than later. As one of the gym guidelines, if you can’t show up on time, don’t sign up for the class. You’re ruining everyone else’s experience by constantly showing up after the class has begun. Show up on time, or plan on doing your own workout. There are even some instructors who will not allow people to come to class late, which totally makes sense. Learn to read a clock, please.
