Hey Stink Ass! Wipe down that exercise machine

I guess it's too much to expect someone who doesn't know much about etiquette to know anything about gym etiquette, but protocol in such instances is to wipe down the exercise machines after you finish using them. This is called Gym Etiquette. All the gyms have it--except ours evidently. From what I have noticed it's more the exception than the rule that someone actually uses the wipes provided in the gym to wipe the machines down. Why else do you think they're provided Copernicus?

I propose a few rules for the gym.
  1. A recent shower is courteous!
  2. wipe down the machine after using
  3. OK there's no need for the excessive grunting when your throwing that 10lb dumbbell around. We're all very impressed with your prowess.
  4. figure out where the washing machine in your apartment is and USE IT!
  5. If you must spread out to do your hour of stretching please do it in your apartment before hitting the gym or do it out of the way of the machines. We see you and you look so professional.

  1. Amen to all of that. I don't want to be reminded of the Bally's I used to go to.
