do you consider this rude behavior at a fitness gym?
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

Report it to the manager at the gym.

I don’t think it’s such a big deal– just respond.
"Wanna switch (weight machines), since your just sitting there?"
"No. I just want to sit here."
(in a voice like they are stupid)
just be more gangsta. Most people are mice.
yeah.

wow what a jerk!
so did u see this happen? were u one of these people?
maybe he was showing off a bit or maybe just trying to start up a conversation since there were more machines of the same kind available. it doesnt seem like he was trying to be mean… i dont think you can be kicked out. good luck with that and everything!

I don’t think that is appropriate behavior. My husband and I have been attending Gym for a long time and that is not a ethical behavior. It is courteous to wait your turn. It is a rude behavior

depends on how long the person was taking between sets as they may have been slacking off

Him – "Wanna switch (weight machines), since your just sitting there?"
You – "Wanna take this shit out front?"

I don’t think it’s rude…it depends how you approach someone – one thing that constantly annoys me is when people rest for like 5 minutes or talk to other people and hog the machine when there is only one in the gym…I work out before work in the morning and I only have a limited amount of time to work out, so I want to try to get the most in in an hour or so. I think if you’re a jerk about it, then it’s rude, but if you ask nicely if you can work in a set, I don’t think it’s rude.
