Gym etiquette covers a range of behaviors, from wiping the equipments after using it, to not hogging on to one machine. Some people don’t just get that its important to not let someone else swim in your pool of sweat, so they should come to the gym with their own towels. How do you deal with such people? Hopefully this article will help you address someone who isn’t being considerate.
- Address them directly; by doing that you become a human who actually has a personality.
- If that doesn’t work out, discuss their conditions in the gym. Do not do it in a disrespectful manner, be polite and respectful but not apologetic. Don’t make them alienate themselves from you because of an aggressive an aggressive manner or because they think you are an easy target , just be specific and give specific examples of how their behaviours affect the others.
- If that doesn’t work either, inform them you will discuss the matter with the staff. If he/she thinks you are soft or are some sort of a sissy, or tries to insult you, ignore that; they are only trying to make you get angry and stop talking, or they just want you to back down. Just buttress on the fact that you will not.
- Discuss the matter with the staff, in doing that do not exaggerate but state it how you see it. If you exaggerate, it will weaken your case but being objective and practical will strengthen your position.
- If the staff are not willing to help then talk to the gym manager.
Most times people feel so embarrassed when you tell them they’re doing the wrong thing. If someone keeps the equipments at the wrong places and you tell them to keep it at the right place, he/she will be embarrassed and not do it again, also, make it audible enough in order for the people around to hear you so that they will not make the same mistake that person made.
