[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes it's rude. No question. Since you don't walk in and immediately turn the sound down, which you could do given the logic on here. I would put on some headphones. Comfy ones just to muffle the blare. [/quote]

Or she could just workout in the main spaces, which are usually pretty quiet.[/quote]

You could also bring a movie on your device, and listen to your own liking with headphones.

The point is, you have to be courteous of everyone. First come first serve sounds like a reasonable medium. Don't adjust anything if there are other people in the room, especially without asking them. [/quote]

The movie should be set at a reasonable volume by the staff of the gym and not adjusted up or down by members.  I think people commenting about first come, first serve have never actually been in a cinema room.  I watch movies in the cinema room at my gym all the time and don't even know how to find the volume - there's not an open remote for anyone to use.

If someone goes into the sauna and turns down the temperature because they just want a cool, dark space that is not okay even if they are the only one in the room.  The purpose of a sauna room is for it to be hot all the time and to stay hot so when people come in that room it is ready for them.  The next person to come in the room shouldn't have to adjust the temperature back up (although if they did, they would be in the right) because the sauna should always be set to hot. That is the primary purpose of that room.

If someone goes in the spin room when it is empty and turns on the lights and starts doing yoga because they wanted a private space to do their yoga, they shouldn't get upset when people come in the room for a spin class, turn off the lights and start doing a loud spin/cycle class.  That is the purpose of the room, even if someone was in it before because they just wanted a private yoga spot - private yoga is not the purpose of that room, so first come first served doesn't apply.

The purpose of a cinema room is for a movie to be playing at full/regular volume all the time.  Even if someone is alone in the room, the movie settings should be set for the people coming in the room to watch the movie/work out.  If someone else changes that because they are in the room alone, they do not have the right to keep the settings at their alternate level if someone else comes in to use the room for it's specifically named intended purpose.

We can agree to disagree about this, but at the end of the day, the man who turned up the volume wasn't rude.  The OP just needs to accept that she can turn the volume down if she is the only one in there, but if someone else comes in the cinema room the volume will likely be turned back up so that the room can be utilized as intended, first come first serve doesn't apply when you are not using the room for its very explicitly intended purpose.
