Proper Gym Etiquette (According to Me)

1. If you're required to sign into a registration book, don't flood it with complaints of this and that. Take it straight to the management please, cuz I doubt they even read those. You're wasting your time and space, and making the book an eyesore for those who genuinely want to sign in.

2. Bring a towel ( you will see why)

3. Try oh try to catch your sweat droplets before they make their way onto the machine or the floor around it. If this is impossible because you happen to sweat heavily, do everyone else a favour and wipe the sweat off the machine at least. It's seriously disgusting to start using a machine and find it sticky and full of your sweat.

4. This is rather specific, but seriously, if you have bad breath (actually, even if you don't have bad breath), please la jangan turn your machine towards another one and proceed to mouth-breathe on to the person using said machine. It's another very disgusting habit, esp because if you DO happen to have halitosis. So inappropriate and nausea inducing, thank you very much.

5. If there's one treadmill (or any other machine) and there are people waiting to use it, try not to take your own sweet time? I mean, I know you got there first but courtesy and logic should tell you that other people are paying the same maintenance fee that you do, and therefore, have as much right to use that machine as you do. 20 minutes is fine. 25 is already pushing it, more than half an hour is ridiculous.
