Workout Well

People go to the gym or their various workout studios for different reasons. Whether it’s to unwind at the end of a busy day at the office, to find some calm and peace of mind away from all the noise at home, or to really just find a place to concentrate on getting your body tight and toned, your heart pumping, and your muscles working. Whatever your reasons for visiting the gym may be, it’s inevitable that you will be running into people—gym instructors, teachers, desk attendants and fellow students all share that same workout space with you.

Keeping everyone happy while on their individual roads to wellness is something that every student should adhere to, regardless of their fitness goals. Take these considerations in mind the next time you make it to your gym—exercising fitness etiquette will benefit everyone, after all.free time.

Stay Clean.
With people in such close quarters with each other, sweating it out, staying clean and fresh even before hitting the weights or going on the treadmill is absolutely important. Take a quick shower if you’ve been out under the sun all day prior to your workout, and pack on the anti-perspirant as well. Avoiding displeasing body odor is just common courtesy to those around you.

Avoid Strong Scents.
You may have showered and you may be powder fresh, but spritzing on cologne or perfume before a workout is also a no-no. You may think that your signature scent is pleasant, but in a confined space, it could come off as disconcerting to those around you. Save your fragrance for after your workout, when you step out of the gym.

Go Silent.
As with any space where people need to be focused and concentrating, it’s advisable to turn your cell phones to silent. Hearing a text come in the middle of a workout or even standing next to someone taking a work call while you’re busy doing crunches can be extremely distracting and takes away from the sometimes-meditative experience of getting physical.

Read the Rules.
Every place has its own set of guidelines when it comes to working out. Some classes are strict about people coming in on time, while other studios have an open door policy that allows people to walk in as they please. Wherever you go, familiarize yourself with how things work from everything to studio hours to paying for memberships, which facilities you can use to what promos you can avail of.
