People who do a set and then stay on the station they're at while they rest (ie, dips/pullup bar)...I hate having to ask people if I can get a set in, when I know they're not f'ing using it

In my health club, there are "Etiquette" signs posted, which include the rule of not resting at a machine.

two things; i have a membership to a health club and they have these great exercise bikes w/ a different pedaling position than most, and arms rest, heart monitor etc. there's only two of these specific bikes, and yesterday an older guy was asleep sitting in one. well, his head was tilted and his eyes were closed. the other bike was taken. i went and got on the bike next to him and it woke him up and he looked a little annoyed at me and left. maybe he was just startled, i dont know.



second thing; when i'm on a bench/machine, i rest between sets. and i rest on the bench. i'm not going to stand up and let someone just hop in, but if you ask you can work in.
