The self-admirer
”These members think they are at home getting ready to go out. During, before, and after sets they look at themselves in the mirror to see if there are any improvements or changes in their body. I've also seen people checking their hair, makeup, even picking their faces popping zits! This is a public gym, not your bathroom.”
Leaving the equipment out
“Some members will use a piece of equipment and proceed to leave it somewhere other than the place where it belongs. These members create an obstacle course for others to navigate in order to complete their workouts. You can usually see a trail of debris through the gym leading you right to the culprit!”
Failing to wipe down equipment after use
“Some folks apparently don't realize that the towels provided are to be used to keep their sweat off the equipment. They also seems to think that the cleaning products are just decoration. I love a good sweat as much as the next fitness fan, I just don't like yours!”
