Gym Etiquette: What to Follow

The gym is a public space for people to work out in, with rules and guidelines set to maintain a respectful, stress-free, and safer environment. Here are some basic gym etiquette to follow and observe during your next session. Check out the amenities supporting a healthy lifestyle that the Wynwood Grand Showflat has to offer.

Wipe Down Equipment After Use

Wipe down equipment that you use before leaving. Most gyms provide you with a bottle of water, soap and a towel so that you can spray and clean up after each use. This removes sweat from the bench or seat that you were on during your workout and ensures that it is ready for the next person to use.

Re-Rack Weights

Put back the weights that you have used during your workout, whether it be plates, dumbbells or kettlebells. It is proper manners to re-rack your weights and put them back in proper areas where you got them. This allows the next user or condo resident at Wynwood Grand to find it easily and prevents the gym from becoming cluttered with weights all around that people could trip on or have trouble finding to do their exercise.

Take Rests But Don’t Take Too Long

Other people will also want to use the machine you are on for their routine. It is okay to take breaks during your set as people will ask first and wait or alternate with you, but taking too long and doing other things such as doomscrolling while resting can be inconsiderate to the person waiting, and you are pushing back their workout when you do this. If you are fresh on your set and people ask, you could also offer them to work with you so that you can both get your workout in and be efficient.

Keep Headphones/Earphones For Your Music

Blasting music out loud in the gym can disrupt others’ focus and the training environment. If you want to listen to your music while working out at the fitness facility or gym near your Wynwood Grand EC, bring your own pair or earphones or headphones.
