Why don't people practice proper etiquette at the gym? Why do they do three continious sets at one machine?

Because this is the "it's all about me"  generation.

Depends on what type of a gym it is if it is a national one they tend to cost more but then if you went to another city they would have one there. A local gym wants your business so you can sometime haggle their prices down best I have seen is like 1 year at like 30 bucks I think. Or you could join a women's only gym and not have to worry about guys drooling over you

Your question is asked at all because gyms have become a meat market of the fit people and it's blatantly obvious.  Those that NEED the exercise are made uncomfortable by exclusion.  This is why, when I was fat, I thought gyms were evil places.  I still think the concept is kind of sick.  Why go to a gym when it's nice outside?  Why PAY to work out on your own when you can work out at home and feel less ignored or even hated?\n\nI never saw a fat person invited to play team sports.  I never saw anyone approaching a fat person, but maybe they got ignored if they approached someone else.\n\nThe sad thing is, if they are going to lose the weight, then they need to exercise, yet the already punishing environment be then made even more punishing by the people there.  That's why I don't like gyms at all.

I always want to see a lot of equipment so you don't have to wait in line!  That's what I hate most about my gym...when the work day is over it seems like EVERYONE is there and I have to wait forever to use the treadmil/elepticals!\n\nAlso, I wish my gym offered Yoga and Pilates classes.  Have lots of different classes and offer them as much as possible.  Hope this helps!  Good luck!

I used to work in a clothing store, so I know what it is like and that is why I didn't stay for very long. Some people will unfold the same shirt in the same size about five times, it's very annoying. You can offer to get the size they want to try on, but that is the best you can do to avoid a mess. They figure you get paid to clean up after them and they are not very considerate. Any place I go, I try not to make a mess or clean up after myself. Some people just don't realise how much effort it takes to keep things looking nice and folded, while at the same time helping customers pick out their outfits, taking back all the clothes they don't want to get, rehanging everything and greeting everybody. One has to learn the art of multitasking in a busy clothing store. Trying your best to keep things as they are is just common courtesy, but a lot of people don't have that.

It's a body, it's natural. Young girls are just not use to it but it's not big deal. Why take off your gym clothes to put on a swinsuit to take of a swimsuit that is now dirty to put on clean clothes.\n\ni would just be proud of your confidence.

The law requires the handicapped be accommodated by adequate facilities.  It doesn't require people to wet themselves waiting for a regular stall to open.  In my company everyone wants the "big stall" because you can stretch out.  You can also change in there if you are going to the gym after work.

Since you both work out at a gym, maybe you could start up a converation about how some of the equipment works or ask his suggestions about some type of exercise.  Guys like to give advice...so boost his ego!

My answer is that (from my own experience of the same), YOU SOMETIMES MUST MAKE YOURSELF DO IT THE FIRST FEW TIMES... Usually after that, you should have yourself going with a routine.\nIf I could make a suggestion also;  On something such as this- improving anything about yourself & your body.  YOU SHOULD DO IT FOR "YOU" AS THE #1 REASON.  Then when you are doing it for you, all else will come, the girls, being stronger than some other guys & such.

I live in the US where we have become very slopy when it comes to things like this. \nYes, you should stand up. Not only is it rude, it is akward to shake someone's hand while one person is sitting. \nI can see no reason why you would not do this other than sheer laziness.

If you have a local gym instructor, you might want to go to her/him! Men work better in the tumbleing area!

There is no answer for that question because everybody is different.  That is why there are so many diets and so many different workouts.  I lose my weight first in my face, other people lose it in different areas.  There is no definite answer.

I really wish that you were a little more specific.  I am an American Man and I am not an idiot and I do not give a poop what a woman does, in or out of a gym.\nIf you are having problems because there is a man in your life who objects to your going to a gym to work out, that is between you and him.  You probably will not any information here that will help.  Talk with your idiot.  Get him to articulate his point of view.  Use a small barbell on his head to get his attention, if you have to.

not sure.\ncould it be a stress type of reaction from being in a group of people? are you getting a nervous buzz from competitive tension within the group?\nalternatively, if you are not attending cardio all that often you might feel better about it if you went more often just so you don't get stressed from waiting so long between visits.

The reason people go to the gym is to get into shape.  Hey, I'm with ya!\n I worked out at home using video exercise tapes and a rebounder trampolene.  Once I was in shape, I thought I should join the gym.  How weird is that?\nKind of like cleaning my house before the cleaning gal comes so she doesn't know how dirty my house is.
