What is It

Reading:

When you engage in aerobic, muscles, and bone-strengthening activities,

you are likely to make use of different equipment and facilities. These
resources help in your enjoyment and participation so you have to care for
them. As a courtesy to other individuals who also make use of these
equipment and facilities, you always need to observe the proper or
etiquette inside a gym.
 Depending on the venue or facility, there is a specific decorum expected
from those who use them. The following are the different venues with its
commonly expected etiquette.

Playing court or field

Source: https://acci.com.ph/portfolio/badminton /

A playing court or field depending on the sport can be indoors or outdoors.

There are certain sports that requires to set up their equipment first, such
as volleyball, tennis, badminton, table tennis, taekwondo, judo, etc.
However, there are also sports that needs minimal setup for their facilities
like basketball, football, etc.
This will vary depending on the venue arrangements such as rented
facilities but those who will utilize certain equipment are expected to
maintain the cleanliness of the property, to properly fix, return and store the
equipment after being use.

Here are some of the common manners:

1. Throw away used supplies and waste materials to designated trash bins
in the facility.
2. Wipe off wet spots caused by drinks and sweat.
3. Check yourself such as proper hygiene and care.
4. Avoid using cigarettes while in the premises.
5. Be nice, as a general rule.

Dance areas or studios

These are either indoors or outdoors that are surrounded with full-sized
mirrors. Some dance studios have wooden or metal railings called barres.
Also, there are speakers and music players being installed or set up in
specific locations for easy access.

Like in playing courts and fields, there are certain manners and etiquette
to be considered. Users of dance area or studios are expected to maintain
the cleanliness of the studio, music players should be kept after use, the
lights and ventilations should be turned off after use.
Here are some of the expectation when using dance studios:

1. Important belongings should be placed in designated spots (i.e.

lockers, benches, tables).
2. Wipe off wet spots caused by drinks and sweat on the floor.
3. Keep the music at accepted volume in order not to disturb other users.
4. Know the studio schedule to avoid time conflict with other users.
5. Wear appropriate clothes including footwear.

Gym or Weights Area

Source: https://primer.com.ph/business/2019/01/15/anytime-fitness-a-24-
hour-gym-in-yourneighborhood/

Strength training is an integral part of muscle building. Most of its

facilities are indoor with different types of equipment like machine weights,
free weights, balls, mobility machines (e.g. treadmill, stationary bike, rower,
and stair climber), mats, bars, etc. They are properly arranged to allow
maneuverability and easy access for people working out. Always keep in
mind that this training involves risk of injury, thus, you are expected to be
on your best behavior to avoid some kind of accident inside the working
area.

Here are some of the proper etiquette:

1. Take care of using the equipment and facilities.

2. Only use the equipment that you already know how to use. Do not
leave or pass on equipment that is in complete disarray and dirty.
3. Bring back all equipment in place after use.
4. In performing exercises and movement in general, practice good form
first.
5. Do not hug the equipment.
6. Wear appropriate clothes and do not take them off to look at your body
in the mirror.
7. Minimize grunting, refrain from yelling and using profanity.
8. Do not slam or drop weights.
9. Avoid monopolizing use of the equipment. Always share it with others
by taking turns in using them.
10. Lower volume of music or best wear earphones.

Some gyms or weight areas have their own rules, make sure you are aware
of it. Read them before starting your workout routine so that you won’t be
reprimanded.

It is imperative to keep in mind the proper ways of handling different

gym equipment and observe proper manners to avoid conflict and injuries.
Gym or court rules can vary depending on the venue arrangements but
always be mindful on the following:

1.Always ask.
If someone is using a machine or piece of equipment and you need
something nearby, ask if you can.

2. Put your weights back.

This should go without saying but it’s the number one rule broken in
the gym.

3.Keep the equipment where it belongs.

Don’t try to do any weightlifting movements anywhere except the
deadlift platforms or another designated area.
4. Be mindful of your surroundings.
Gyms can be dangerous places if you’re not alert. On busy times of
day in particular, you have to be super-mindful of the other patrons; don’t
start doing dumbbell kickbacks without checking behind you, for example.
Also, sometimes poorly laid out gyms have machines with their plate-
loaded arms swinging out into a thoroughfare and if you’re not looking
where you’re going, you might be in for a headache.
If you want to be a real champion, look out for your fellow gym-goers and
help them out if you see them struggling; maybe offer to spot them.

5. Bring a towel. Use it.

Gyms can be some of the most germ-ridden places you can go. So, for
both your own sake and the sake of other patrons, use that towel.

6. Clean up after yourself (and, if you have to, other patrons).

Related to the previous point, if you still manage to sweat through your
towel or for some other reason leave sweat on a piece of equipment, grab
some paper towel and disinfectant spray (hopefully your gym has some
around — if not, hassle them about it) to do your fellow gym-goers a solid.

7. Selfies: Try to be discreet about them.

The general rule of thumb here is: do what you want — just don’t infringe
on anyone else’s gym experience.

8. Personal space: respect it. Avoid congestion and conflict.

9. Don’t hog the equipment.

If you’re occupying a popular piece of equipment at a popular time of day,
don’t sit there on your phone checking Instagram, oblivious to the waiting
queue.

10. Avoid the chitchat.

The gym is a place of solace for many people and, although it can be a
great social setting, try to keep the gossip to a minimum.
