OneLife is the worst. I belong to multiple locations - close to work and close to home. Every leg type machine has tons of plates left on them. I scoot them off and let them fall on the floor. I'm not doing an arm workout and I'm not cleaning up your crap.
Every machine has trash on it, in it, beside it.
No one every wipes down the equipment.

It's convenient but super disgusting.

Thanks for the rules. Glad to see that peeing in the shower is still okay.

1. Break down the damn weights. Every time. If you take more than 2 minutes between sets, tough ish, break 'em down and do it again for your next set. Men, I'm looking at you.
2. Don't grunt like you're some wild animal. It doesn't help you lift more, you just look like an arse.
3. wipe the machines.
4. Mind your own damn business.

These "rules" are off. Of course you take more than 2 mins between sets if you are lifting a lot. No you do not break them down. Grunting is ok -- it does in fact help you process the lift. Yes wipe machines when done. Not sure what mind you bus means in this context. Be friendly and chat. Be part of a community.

Agree that OneLife is convenient.

What bugs me most are the dbags there that take phonecalls while they're "working out." If you're taking more than a 30 second call, you're not working out remotely hard enough. And you're likely a snowflake who goes through life thinking rules don't apply to you.

That, and the cologne/perfume contingent is strong at OL. Nasty.

I'm a personal trainer. I'm in the gym all the time both working and working out. I can say with complete honesty that other than the too-much-perfume thing, none of that stuff happens at our gym. I think you need to find a nicer gym.

I'll take the perfume over the stinky lady at my gym any day. She reeks and comes to a lot of my classes. Ugh.

Stop praying your disinfectant haphazardly everywhere. Spray the paper towel, and then use THAT to wipe your stuff down. Don't just spray shit with the bottle. Why do you assume everyone in a 10 foot radius likes a face full of chemicals?? It's nasty and rude.

Mine are:
Clear your bowels before coming to the gym, no one appreciates your farts

If you are a chronically late person, don’t go to gym classes. No one likes having to let you squeeze your mat into the space I staked out 5 mins before class

Don’t camp out on the weight machines, others are waiting.

Please leave the in-the-crack tights at home. I'm to work out, not get an eyeful of your camel toe.

I hate latecomers, and refuse to let them squeeze in. It's the same person every time. You know they're also the selfish ahole who's always late to everything, because they think the world revolves around their convenience.

Exercising outdoors is better for you.

Ehh, you just have to be willing to pay. We have none of this at our country club gym 😁

What’s the difference? If they came 1 min before class vs 2 min after, you are still
Going to have to make room for them. Just because you get their early doesn’t mean you are allowed more space. The space gets divided in the room among how many people are present, whether they get there early, on time, or late
