248: Proper Gym Etiquette to Make Gyms Great Again

Common sense and just being a good person will carry you a long way when it comes to knowing how to act and follow proper etiquette and protocol in any environment. But sometimes, there are small things that are less intuitive, that are actually important. And probably more common, is that the people who are “supposed” to know how to act, purposely act poorly, leading newcomers to think that that’s correct.

This is extremely common in gyms today, and frankly, it makes them kind of suck.

The environment is not welcoming to newcomers, unfamiliar to those who have been around 10+ years, and straight up just doesn’t function well. And poor function plus inefficiencies and rude people giving off bad vibes just legitimately ruins gains - and that’s where I draw the line.

This episode probably won’t be the most popular and I understand, however, it should be. There are enough gains and enough weights and machines in the gym for everyone to get after it all together. And we all do better when we support each other and train hard together.

That isn’t even feel-good nonsense. When you feel good you train better. And when you train better you improve more. It’s very simple.

So share this episode with everyone you know. Let’s bring back old school proper etiquette and decency to gyms and make gyms great again. And let’s get the gains going with it.
