Even if you're a gym etiquette dummy, never fear. Dummies.com has tips for mastering gym etiquette. For example:

  • Don't rest on weight equipment between sets. The equipment is for everyone, and your little break could be holding someone else up.
  • Manage your own sweat. Bring a towel with you and wipe off equipment when you're done. It's just plain nasty to go to a machine and find someone's sweat waiting for you.
  • Use the lockers. So great, you have a gym bag. But please don't tote it around from machine to machine. Stow it in a locker ... that's what they're for.
