If you workout at a gym, there are some simple rules that you should follow to make the gym a happy place.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Step 1

Wipe down your equipment. No one likes to sit down in a puddle of someone else's sweat.
Step 2

Rerack your weights. Some people lift a huge amount and then leave the heavy plates on the machines. This is not good for the next person that comes along to use the equipment and can't lift the weights you left behind.
Step 3

Don't hog equipment. If there are a lot of people staring at you and asking if you are almost done, you probably should speed up your workout or move on to another machine.
Step 4

If you are provided towel service, don't leave them lying around the locker room, put them in the hamper when you are done.
Step 5

Ask if someone is done with a machine if it looks like they might still be using it.
Step 6

Don't hog a large section of the locker room by spreading all your stuff around.
