Gym etiquette has changed. I have had people take weights off the machine I was using while I was sitting on it twice in the last few months.
The number of people literally walking randomly around the gym not even working out has grown.
Too many people spend more time in the locker room “changing” than they ever do training.
I go to a pretty good gym with some monsters in it…but I know exactly what I’m getting at the 24 Hour fitness down the road where most of the elderly people go. [/quote]
It has changed big time. All the hardcore gyms are dying or closing in my area. It is kinda sad. Etiquette in general is going down the drain. I think it is wide spread and not just confined to the gym.
For sure on that a lot of folks just use it as a bar or social time.
There is one gym in the area that I frequent that has some more hardcore stuff and some bigger guys in it, but they don’t have certain machines I like to use. Sometimes I just wish people would keep their mouths shut and leave me be with my music and weights.

I find myself walking around people…because they are just walking like in the mall window shopping.
I had one girl who was sitting on the floor last week as her friend worked out right in the area where you would have to walk to put weights on the machine I needed to use.
She got an attitude because she had to move.
She wasn’t even there to lift. WTF?
