Gym Etiquette

Its been 5 weeks since I have been hitting the gym. There is some growth here and there, but nothing noticeable yet. Gotta try more harder and eat well.

I would like to share with you guys about gym etiquette. I have been in and out of gyms for about 3 years now and I have seen a fair share of behaviours. What is even more suprising is, its becoming worse over the years. The gym should be more proactive instead of signing on ppl to join, educate them!

Below are the unwritten laws of gym etiquette. Learn it and do it! Its just sickens me whenever I see this selfish, self-centered, clueless, arrogant ppl. You are paying for the gym fees, so am I. We are all sharing the facility so lets just do that! SHARE!

• Put the weights back where it belongs! It isn't that difficult. Put the dumbbell back to the rack. Its makes everyone's life easier to work and look for weights.
• Do not hog the machines! If you are using it, use it fast. Then move on. Don't leave your bloody stinky towel on a machine and chat away in the juice bar.
• If you come in a group, do remember that others too need the same machine. The machine doesn't alone belong to you and your friends. Another note, don't waste time and joke around. Get to work and leave. Sigh....
• Stop dropping the weights! Can't you read the sign on the wall. You think this is your father's gym ah? It doesn't make you stronger or macho by dropping the weights, it just create more attention that you are weak.
• Hair dryer... to dry your hair not your body!
• I am pretty uncomfortable looking at naked man in the locker room. Do not assume everyone is a gay like you.
• Shower place is to take a shower, not to pee or cough out out your lungs..

Fitness First Review - The Curve

Located within The Curve shopping complex in Mutiara Damansara. The review:-

• Parking is plenty. In the parking area, they have marked which place you should park for easy accessibility to FF. Good idea!
• 2 floor concept again.. sigh, but they have cute receptionists.
• The place looks slightly bigger and newer than Consplant.
• Ample of cardio equipment. Machines OK lah. They have most of all the machines and some new additions.
• Free weight area is quite big. However if there is a crowd, it could pose abit problem in finding a bench.
• The rest is pretty standard. Classes, shower room and etc.
• The juice area is quite strategically located, just behind the cardio area. You get to sip a your drink while looking at ppl's butt. Not a bad thing....
• The crowd... hmm... looks like a good mix of working ppl and students as well. Chicks, not bad either.

Fitness First Review - Consplant

Located just beside Subang Parade, this branch is the nearest to my home. Now the review :-

• Parking is terrible. You can either park at the basement, per entry is RM 2 after 5 PM, or park around BCB or in front of Wisma Tractor. However don't be surprised if you get a ticket.
• 2 floors. I hate 2 floor concept. However the place is more or less the same size as DU. Lighting wise is good. There is also a glass window around the gym, so you can get a view of Subang while working out.
• Stretching area is so small. But they have 2 TV hooked up to ASTRO. So while you are crunching your abs and knocking into someone's butt, you get to watch silence movie of animals jumping around.
• Free weight area, much better than DU. Machine wise... OK lah.
• Shower room, not bad. Clean and OK.
• Crowd - mix crowd of professionals and students. Beautiful people and huge muscle heads. Look out for a certain crowd of machine hoggers. But this place has abit too much crowd to my liking.
