13 Rockford Area Gym Etiquette Rules

Nothing makes me feel better than a great workout.

You are healthier, you're losing weight, feeling stronger, but do you sweat all over the place and stink the joint up?

I'll admit there has been times that I left the gym and thought dude, you really worked up a healthy lather. Or maybe just maybe my workout brought out a funky, nasty smelling me. There are gym rules people.

Now the reason I bring this up, is for one specific reason. I go do cardio early in the morning before work. I go on an empty stomach, "fasted cardio" and there are three older gentlemen that are also working out. These dudes wear a ton of cologne, like it smells like an 8th grade dance.

So I found a list of 13 Rules of Gym Etiquette according to Huffington Post.

• When you get sweaty wipe it up
• Gym-timidator don't be one
• If someone asks if they can work in with you, say yes
  
• Re-racking weights, do it
  
• We can all hear you, keep the grunts down
  
• Personal space, gimmie mine
  
• Shower time is private time
  
• Did you get a whiff -  see above
• Should you be wearing that
• Is this a flex zone
• There are some exercises you can’t or shouldn’t do, stay safe
  
• Classroom Super Star, calm don't Arnold
  
• Hair dryers are for your head
