Any active gym attendee would agree that a weight room or gym works in unison if every participant is courteous of their behaviors. 

“I always respect the equipment at my gym, and expect no less from others,” said junior Brody Lewis. “I always wipe down the equipment after I use it and [I] never slam weights.”

Certain customs and behaviors are expected by other members. If they are not followed, it can come across as disrespectful to the other members. The care for others and interactions in the gym are just as important as respecting the equipment. 

“I am always respectful when people talk to me at the gym,” said sophmore Brayden Shackleford. “Being kind and respectful builds your reputation in a gym,” said Brayden.
