Maybe listened to couple of podcasts and read a few articles but nothing could have prepared you for what was about to happen….

A gym or health club is a shard environment, one that comes with its own set of rules. Follow these simple guidelines to avoid being the member no one wants to spot..
Step 1: Take turns.
Be courteous and take turns at the machines. You pay dues, but so do other members. If someone is lingering near the machine, let them use it in between your sets..
Tip.
If you see someone blatantly breaking gym rules, let the staff know..
Step 2: Put back equipment.
When you are done with equipment, or during long breaks, put the equipment back where you found it..
Step 3: Unload your weights.
When you are done using a bar with weight plates, take the plates off, and place them back on the rack..
Step 4: Don’t stand in the way.
Respect other members don’t stand in the pathways or in front of mirrors in between your sets. Move out of the way to allow other members access to the equipment..
Tip.
Buy yourself a lock so that you can store your bag and clothes in a locker during your workout. This will help keep the workout area clean..
Step 5: Wipe down machines.
Bring your own towel or locate cleaning equipment on the gym floor. You should never walk away from a machine without first wiping off any sweat you left..
Tip.
Make sure to use a cleaning spray if it’s available..
Step 6: Clean up after yourself.
Clean up after yourself in the locker room. This isn’t your bathroom. Don’t leave hair on the counters, sinks, or shower drains. Place trash in the garbage cans and put towels in the appropriate laundry basket, not on the floor..
Did You Know?
In 2010, Washington, D.C., was ranked as the fittest city in the country according to a report released by the American College of Sports Medicine.

Things you should never do at the gym! Top workout things to avoid at the gym so you exercise good fitness etiquette.
14. Don’t train through the painEven though this sounds obvious, you might be surprised as to how many people work out at the gym when they’re feeling under the weather or hurt themselves. It’s important to listen to what your body is telling you! If you sprained an ankle or threw out your back during your routine, immediately stop what you’re doing, identify the pain and treat it. Working out when you’re in pain does more damage than good. This includes working out when you have a cold or have a fever. You might think hitting the gym might be a good remedy to help yourself feel better, but in fact, it might have the opposite effect. Working out can deplete the little energy you already have. Plus you don’t want to spread your cold or any germs on the exercise equipment either. Your best option is to stay at home and wait until you’re feeling better to tackle any workouts. There’s nothing wrong with missing a day or two, especially since your body needs time to recover…
13. Don’t leave weights behindAlright let’s get to the rules of re-racking! Most gyms might have signs visible near the free weights asking that when you’re done to put stuff back in their proper place. Of course, your mom taught you that but just because there is an attendant present doesn’t mean it’s their job to put it away for you. Not only is this a safety hazard, since someone can trip on the free weights. But this makes it twice as hard for other to find the same pounds of weights when exercising! The most popular weights seem always to be missing, or one might be on the rack while the other is across the room. It’s down right frustrating! This same rule also goes for plates as well. Just like weights, it’s important to put the plates back where you found it. This saves a lot of time and hassle for everyone in the gym…
12. Don’t talk to someone during a setThere’s nothing wrong with socializing with others at a gym. You might run into a co worker or an old friend from school that you haven’t seen in ages, but this doesn’t mean that it’s okay to suddenly start chatting it up with them if they’re in the middle of their set. Talking while lifting can be a big distraction, the same goes if they’re sprinting on the treadmill. Most likely they’re trying to concentrate or trying to focus on their form. Plus if they have headphones in, then most likely they’re trying to power through their workout and get in the zone. The best thing to do is try catching up with them after their workout at the juice bar or locker room. This gives you more time to talk to them after they’re finished and maybe you might have found yourself a new gym buddy too…
11. Don’t use exercise equipment without cleaning itThis also includes stretching mats and exercise benches. In a gym, you can count on everyone sweating, and with everyone sharing the machines, there can be bacteria, fungi, and viruses lingering. If you have a scrape or cut that comes in contact with these germ-infested surfaces, you could get a severe infection. Between standing and prone exercises, we move our feets and bodies all throughout the mats, and at one point you’ve probably put your face near where your feet once were. Now if you’re borrowing mats provided by the gym, think about how many people have used those mats. Pretty gross right? The good part is most commercial gyms offer towels and some sanitizers, sprays, and wipes for your convenience to wipe down surfaces before using.

10 Annoying Gym Etiquette Mistakes (Don’t Be That Guy).
http://www.SeanNal.com/articles/training/gym-etiquette-mistakes.php.
Proper gym etiquette should be a pretty straightforward thing: treat other people in the gym the way you want to be treated..
Unfortunately, there’s always a handful of guys and girls in every gym who, for whatever reason, choose not to abide by this basic “golden rule”..
After many years of training and being in and out of an endless number of different gyms in that time, here are 10 of the most common “annoying gym behaviors” that really stand out….
#1 Grunting Loudly On Every Single Rep..
If you’re truly pushing yourself to the limit to grind out that last rep on a big compound lift like a squat or deadlift, no problem. But in no realistic scenario is screaming across the gym necessary on a bicep curl, tricep kickback or lateral raise..
#2 Standing Right In Front Of The Dumbbell Rack..
When you stand directly in front of the dumbbells, you prevent people from being able to get the weights they want or from putting their weights away. Simple solution: grab the dumbbells you want, take a few steps back, then do your set while keeping the path in front of the rack clear..
#3 Not Re-Racking Your Weights..
This is the biggest gym etiquette violation that drives me the most crazy. There’s simply no excuse for not re-racking your weights. If you put the weights on the machine, take them off when you’re finished. Plain and simple..
#4 Smelling Bad..
If you’re able to single handedly alter the smell of the entire gym because you never wash your workout clothes or wear deoderant, please either adjust your hygiene or start training at home..
#5 Leaving A Pile Of Sweat On The Equipment..
If you tend to sweat alot during your workouts, that’s fine. But that doesn’t mean other gym members want to bathe in it. Exercise proper gym etiquette by wiping down the equipment when you’re done..
#6 Using Your Phone In Between Sets..
If you’re going to bring your phone into the gym, that’s ultimately up to you. But what IS highly annoying is when you get distracted by it in between sets and sit there for 5-10 minutes or more scrolling through social media and texting while someone else is waiting to use the equipment..
#7 “Reserving” Multiple Machines At Once..
It doesn’t matter how much you love supersets or circuit training if you’re working out at a public gym where members share the equipment, placing down a towel or phone to reserve 3 different machines on opposite ends of the gym is poor gym etiquette since it forces people to wait 2-3 times as long to use the equipment..
#8 Not Re-Racking Weights Evenly..
Maybe this is a bit nit-picky, but it only makes sense to re-rack the 45’s with the 45’s, the 25’s with the 25’s and so on. That way, smaller weight plates don’t get up getting sandwiched in between the bigger ones, forcing others to unrack muliple weights to get the ones they want..
#9 Offering Unsolicited Workout Tips..
If you’re genuinely trying to caution a bodybuilding beginner from doing something dangerous, that’s your call. But don’t be the guy who walks around the gym floor dispensing muscle building tips to other members who didn’t ask for it..
#10 Asking “How Many Sets Do You Have Left?”.
Some may disagree on this, but I personally don’t like when people interrupt my exercise to ask how many sets I have left. When I’m doing my workout I want to focus in on the exercise I’m doing without having someone lurking behind me and pressuring me to finish..
