Fitness etiquette–these little Health Club breaches of etiquette ticks me off!
1. Water fountain Hog-this person has a two gallon jug to fill and seems oblivious to the line of people behind the Water Hog filling their jug. All they want is a drink of water, Get out of the way and let them drink!
2. Machine hog-this one sits on the lat machine does 10 sets and take two minutes between each set. They refuse to get off the machine.
3. Poser–Flex in the mirror narcissistic beauties–While some people are actually trying to see if they have the correct form, others are too in love with the mirror!
4. Line jumper-this one sees you headed for a machine and they cut your path off to get there first. The finishing touch to this move is the “Oh did you want to get on this machine?” question after a few reps have been completed.
5. Exasperated Hulk or hulkette–these folks are really upset that a normal person is working out in their area. They do their best to intimidate hoping the others will go away. This person is so prevalent that Planet Fitness had a national campaign based on “No Judgement”.
Like your Momma told you, “Play nice and share!”
