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 most important rule for men. NO naked Calisthenics in the steam room. seriously no one wants to see or hear that.
#1 - Don’t fart in the shower
This is news?
Even when you’re NOT dropping acid?
That could be taken soooooooo many ways ...
We won't if it means you're wearing one.........
If you're on the machines, don't drop them at the end of your cycle. If you can't control them, see above.......
If you're doing dead lifts, don't drop them just to make the rest of the gym think you're a strong guy. You ease them down to get the most out of the exercise...........
If you are so self absorbed in your workout that you don't give a rat's ass about those around you, drop your weights at the back of the gym, not directly behind some person working out in front of you.......
I'm hoping for the day where I witness some muscle head doing bench presses after totally pissing off the rest of the gym with his dropping of the weights, and seeing some guy step up and add his body weight to the bar as the muscle head is doing his final rep............
I dropped a dumbbell on my toe 8 years ago and broke it. Had the other side not hit the ground first, I could have lost a toe.
I’ve been doing it almost 9 months. I don’t have to lose weight (they include a diet for weight loss) so I haven’t followed it as closely as someone who wants to lose a lot of weight. What’s nice is they give you many different workouts so after you learn the basics you can change workouts to have some variety and do the ones you like best or that don’t bother your joints. As DDP says often, make it your own workout by modifying it.
(Can you tell me how long you have been doing DDP Yoga and if you’ve been following the plan very closely?
I’ve got some dumbbells and an exercycle at home, but also some joint issues)
All I'm gonna say is "ouch, that must have hurt...."...LOL!
Didn’t get down to the gym this morning.
That makes five years in a row.
Thanks.
Curling in the squat rack.
Personal pet peeve.
Luckily, the Resolutioners don’t normally last beyond February.
The problem is that we moved 6 months ago and the 1st floor is all unpacked, but the basement is still ion boxes, and we let a friend of ours store the stuff she is moving down there as well.
As Soon as I find it I will begin.
