If someone was working out, rested, then someone else comes up to that person and says "Wanna switch (weight machines), since your just sitting there?" When the guy was only sitting there for a couple minutes for rest between sets, and there apparently were other weight machines in the gym that were just like that one? Do you think this guy was trying to intimidate the other guy, acting macho by trying to rush him off the machine sooner?
Can people like this be kicked out of a gym?
Is this common behavior in a gym?
I don’t think it’s rude, in general and compared to some of the other stuff I see. like people need machines, and sitting doing nothing for a few minutes on a mchine is a huge interruption to the other guys workout which wouldn’t be a big deal, but since he’s not doing anything, it is kinda rude on the guy who isn’t doing anything.
besides compared to the people not putting weights back on the rack when they’re done and people talking to you during your w/o and on their phones during theirs, asking politely to switch a machine when you arent using it isn’t bad lol
