It's almost that time of year again; the time when the New Year's resolution crowd flocks to the gym, annoying the regulars.
If going to the gym more is part of your New Year's resolution, great! But there are a few things you can do to be more considerate of your fellow gym-goers once you get there.

The squat rack is for squats, not curls.
Speedos.
Just. Don’t Go. There.
(Unless they are your shoes)
Taking a business call on speaker, while sitting on equipment, could result in one’s loss of testicles.
I don’t use equipment others use. I don’t want to be subjected to their stuff, and I don’t want to subject them to my stuff.
When you are done wth a piece of equipment, wipe it down. Don’t walk barefoot in the locker room.
*eye twitches* For the love of God... there's a sign. Read it!
And no, you can't drag the decline bench over and do bench presses. Get over it!
No one wants to see your gonads guys. Wear long pants.
0. PUT THE WEIGHTS BACK!!!
Very glad I have my own gym in what was our guest room now; Gold’s doesn’t even open until 5 AM and I’ve got my 5K run and half my one hour workout done by then.
20 years a gym rat here. I've walked barefoot on every locker room floor from my high school to college and a dozen gyms in between and never once had athlete's foot or any other foot ailments. The key is to keep your feet dry and to wipe them thoroughly with a clean towel before putting on your socks.
Wut? Long pants? Gonads? What gym are you patronizing so I can avoid it? Sheesh.
My shorts go to just above the knee. Do your balls hang below the knee?!?
skip the gym.
Never thought I’d be caught dead doing this but I’ve been doing this for 8 months. The only exercise I’ve even been able to stick to and see real results
start at any age. Build strength, flexibility, endurance plus cardio and it’s fun.
If your a guy with really long hair who bends over and spends 30 minutes drying it after you take your shower, put some clothing on first. At least some underwear.

But there are so many characters with peculiar habits...gives the wife and I something to laugh about!
I do yoga as well, but it isn’t the same as weights. (physically or mentally) Variety is good, as the body adapts.
kind of guy,
1). If there’s a serious lifter (you know who they are) working a station and you’re just doing 10-pound benches or sitting at the station ogling women, let the hulk work through. He’s serious about his regimen; you’re just there to fool yourself (and you know who you are).
2). Don’t vocalize. It’s okay to grunt and groan a little, but unless you’re pumping for Mr. O, nobody is impressed with a lot of ninja shouting.
3). Clean up after yourself. That means wiping down the equipment and reracking the weights. Nobody there is your maid.
This isn’t regular yoga, seriously. Your body doesn’t adapt to this and in many ways it’s better than weights.
Just take a look.

As they say, “It’s not your mama’s yoga”
