Fitness Center Etiquette
1. Don't be afraid to ask for help! It is better to ask for assistance and do the exercise correctly than to do the exercise wrong and injure yourself.
2. Help combat confusion and sign-up for the Cardio machines on the white boards.
3. Wear correct gym shoes (and make sure they're clean!)
4. Wipe down equiptment and machines after you are done using it.
5. Avoid wearing strongly scented perfumes, colognes, and lotions. It may become more potent as you workout and irritate others.
6. Return the weights and other equiptment to where they belong. Others are here to train, not to participate in a scavenger hunt :)
