Gym Basics
Dumbbells & Barbells: Always return weights to their original spot on the rack. Matching the weight markers helps the next person find what they need.
Weight Plates (Plateloaded Machines & Squat Racks): Unload all plates when finished. Leaving 45lb plates on a leg press forces the next person (who might be recovering from an injury) to strip your heavy weights off.
Cleaning: If your gym provides wipes and you sweat a lot. It’s good practice to wipe down your bench or machine after you use it. If you’re a heavy sweater (no shame) just bring your own towel!
