Weight & Cardio Room Etiquette

1. Put your weights away after use.  This includes dumbbells and plates.  If you move equipment (benches) please put them back where they belong.

2. Share your equipment.  Most of the time when you are working out you will be in-between sets; this is the perfect time for someone else to use the equipment.  Let people work in with you.

3. Wipe down the machines after use.  Can you imagine walking to a machine and finding it covered with the previous person's sweat?  If you happen to drip all over a piece of equipment, wipe it down using the disinfectant and paper towels provided by the SFC.  Also, it is helpful to use a towel to separate yourself from the machine while you make use of it.

4. Don't drop the weights.  Please don't drop weights from a high elevation for any reason.  It's not good for the weights or the floor.  Please use collars on free weight bar bells.

5. Chat later.  It's a small gym.  That five-minute conversation you're having with a buddy between sets extends your time on that piece of equipment a great deal.  Others may be waiting to use it.

6. During the busy time, don't do supersets that require you to use two or three pieces of equipment unless others can work in.  Please don't monopolize the equipment.

7. Be attentive.  Watch to see who is using what piece of equipment.  There is nothing worse than going for a drink of water and having someone clean your weights off because they didn't know someone was using the equipment.  At the same time, please do not do a set, walk off for 5 minutes and come back expecting to still have your weights loaded when others need the equipment.

8. Offer to spot people.  If you see someone doing a heavy lift and he or she doesn't have a spotter, be prepared to assist if they fatigue enough to put themselves in danger.  Spotters are required on free weight bench presses and free weight squats.  Additionally, please use the clamps when using the barbell.
