Not Sharing the Machines Hogging the same machine is a rookie mistake, for sure, and one that'll have other gym goers annoyed real quick.
"Say you want to get in three sets on the bench press, so you 'claim' it by draping your towel over it even when you have walked away for a recovery break or to get a sip of water. Or even worse, in between your three sets you stay on said machine while checking Instagram for two minutes while you recover," says Yang. "First of all, during that recovery time, you could be doing something else — like training a different muscle group. Secondly, chances are someone wants to work in a set with you but can't because you're spending too much time on that machine."
Most people probably won't say anything to you, but they could be secretly bothered. Just make sure you're aware of how much time you're spending on a specific machine, and if anyone seems interested in using it, then finish and step aside.
