Yes, the person was rude.

No, this is completely backwards. I go to Onelife and love the movie room. It is literally a mainstream movie playing on a big screen in a dark room with treadmills and ellipticals in it.

The volume us supposed to be on, that's the only way to hear the movie. You can't hear it through earbuds or any other way. The movie is on so people can work out and watch the movie at the same time. It's not first come first serve volume. It's literally watching a movie like you're at the movies but on a treadmill instead of sitting down in a seat.

If you don't want to listen the the movie and you're the only one in the room, fine turn off the volume. But as soon as someone comes in who actually wants to watch the movie, they get to turn the volume on. If you don't like it, go out into the main cardio area instead where all the TVs are silent.[/quote]

There's this thing called captioning. Some people are hard of hearing and others are sensitive to loud noises. You don't get to unilaterally increase the volume when you walk into a room and someone else is there, apparently very happy with the current volume. You ASK first.
