YOGYAKARTA - Many people choose to exercise in gyms because there are complete sports equipment. In addition, the atmosphere in the gym also makes people more enthusiastic about sports. Even though it's open to the public, you need to know fitness ethics in gyms so as not to disturb the comfort of other users.

Gym is a comfortable place to exercise because it can try various tools and rooms. However, there are often gym users who act arbitrarily and make mistakes that make other users disturbed. Therefore, novice users are required to know the fitness rules at the gym.

gyms usually apply rules about things their users shouldn't do. However, in addition, there are also unwritten rules that every gym user should understand for the safety and comfort of fellow users.

Here are some fitness ethics in gyms while exercising and using the facilities:

Gym is a public place where anyone can use sports equipment. So make sure to always return the equipment to its original place after using it. Avoid placing items or equipment carelessly after using them.

Sometimes users are unconscious of using light exercise tools such as barbells, by taking them everywhere without returning to their original place. Even though there are staff at the gym who clean up or regulate room conditions, you should not leave the gym in a mess.

Exercise is good with enthusiasm, but don't let you master equipment alone. Often gym users focus on one tool to strengthen muscles or shape the body to use it continuously. In fact, there may be other people who want to use it too and are waiting for you.

So avoid using gym tools in a chaotic or selfish manner without wanting to take turns. Especially if the exercise equipment in the gym is quite limited. You need to know yourself to use a gym tool alternately with other users.

When exercising using a gym, the body will definitely sweat out. This sweat liquid could stick or fall behind in the sports equipment you use. Before changing tools, make sure you clean the equipment so it doesn't disturb the user's comfort afterward.

When doing exercise, your body will sweat out that causes a pungent smell. Because at the gym you will meet many people, make sure your body doesn't emit unpleasant smells that interfere with smell. So when you go to the gym, you should wear perfume or deodorant.

Another ethical that you need to remember while in the gym is not to be noisy or cause noise. Some gym users exercise with their friends and chat at rest time.

Avoid talking loudly or laughing loudly. You have to keep your cool while in the gym so as not to disturb the comfort of other users.

Often when in the gym you have to wait for your turn to use the tool. You have to queue patiently and politely while waiting for other people to finish using the tools you want to use. Don't grab or make other users rush when they're focused on exercising.

As a gym user, you also need to respect other users' private spaces. Although there is no special personal space for each gym user, you need to respect space or where other users are located. For example, by not standing too close to other users, not inviting them to talk carelessly, and other disrespectful actions.

Those are some fitness ethics in gyms that must be understood so as not to disturb the comfort of other users. Although the above rules are not enforced in writing, it is a general guideline that must be adhered to when exercising in gyms.
