Have you ever gone to the gym and someone in there did something irritating and there was nothing you could do to call them out? For instance, someone grunted so loud when doing their push-ups that you could not focus on counting yours. This is one instance where a gym user may not be entirely in the wrong, but he or she has broken one of the unspoken rules that people are expected to adhere to when using the gym so that everyone may be comfortable.

A Reddit post inquired about the unspoken rules while using the gym and the responses that came in were ones that we could all relate to. Here is the link to the post.

One Reddit user had to make people who go to the gym just to hang out realize that there are better places to just hang out. This user also went ahead to give a suggestion on how to solve this issue.

From this Reddit thread

Some people hate making eye contact with strangers. At the gym, it is even weirder in the changing room, according to one Reddit user.

From this Reddit thread

Another gym user gave a different unspoken rule while using the gym. When you see someone busy on earphones, try as much to avoid interrupting them.

From this Reddit thread

After using the equipment at the gym, one Reddit user states that it is an unspoken rule to ensure that you clean up. Cleaning up after use makes the place ready for the next person.

From this Reddit thread

Another Reddit user went ahead to give a list. Without a doubt, adhering to this list may give everyone a good experience when using the gym.

From this Reddit thread

With the age of documenting every activity that one is involved in, some people in the gym find the whole process uncomfortable. The unspoken rule here is to ensure that you do not capture the people unaware of the process.

From this Reddit thread

How about using every machine for its purpose? Because doing the opposite makes some people angry, like this Reddit user.

A public gym will have people moving around the place from time to time. If one is filming, then the video will have people crossing their video. It is an unspoken rule to accommodate this or to film at home.

The unspoken rule of putting weights back hits the nail on the head. It would be a good thing to leave the place as organized as possible for the next person.

Another unspoken rule in the gym is to keep the male gaze at bay as women are working out. To some, it feels creepy to be on the treadmill with a bunch of guys staring at them from the back.

From this Reddit thread

Unless people know each other, there should be some effort to avoid getting too close to each other when there is arguably space to maintain distance.

Reply from this link

Filming oneself is becoming a common thing while in the gym, but it sometimes invades other people’s privacy who may not want to appear in such videos. Unless one ensures that their filming process remains personal and does not invade other people’s sessions, the unspoken rule is to avoid filming as much as possible.

Reply from this link

The unspoken rule is to mind one’s own business while getting physically fit. For this Reddit user though, his gym sessions involve breaking this rule and watching the flow of other people’s sessions.

Reply from this link

People go to the gym for other reasons too including picking up chicks or dudes. This Reddit user passes the point of how this should not be happening in the gym.
