Rules of conduct for your start in the gym
You’ll get comfortable at the gym with time (or maybe even make it your second home?). Reading the house rules, the Introduction to the equipment and premises etc. – these are all points that you will internalize very quickly. To get you off to the perfect start, we’ve also listed 5 simple rules of conduct to guide you through your first time at the gym.
1. Be a role model for others!
Even if you are new to the gym, behave in the same way as you would like other people to behave. Unfortunately, there will always be people who don’t behave well. Go lead by example and you will quickly notice that you are perceived positively by the other members – even if you are just starting out in the gym.
2. Always have a towel with you!
It’s probably already part of the house rules at most gyms, but still, in our "small" one, we want toGym Etiquette" Again, I would like to point this out: Take towels with you! And especially one that you carry with you during your workout. Use it as a pad when you use a piece of equipment so you don’t sweat the surface unnecessarily.
Note: As much as we would love to give you the towel as a constant companion but we are still in the gym and not on vacation in Mallorca. So it’s not meant to reserve equipment and then not actually use it until half an hour later.
3. Concentrate on your training success!

Only take your smartphone with you to the training area when you z. B. You don’t need the time to listen to music or to check your training plan via app. You can also play games and make phone calls after your workout. This way you do not disturb other people around you.
4. Train only when you are healthy!
It’s not good for 2 simple reasons if you z. B. with a flu or Going to the gym with a cold leave:
-
You leave germs on all the equipment you use. This leads to the fact that other members can infect themselves with you.
Therefore, in case of illness, treat yourself to sufficient rest. As soon as you’re fit again, you’ll be back at the gym in full force.
5. Leave your training place tidy!
To prevent the gym from becoming a mess or unnecessarily dirty, always leave your space tidy after your workout. Don’t leave weight plates, balls or other objects lying around and put them back where you got them from. Finally, wipe the equipment with your towel and use the towel provided Disinfectant. And keeping things tidy in the locker room also applies – so don’t turn the showers into a second pool area!
