It is a pretty universal thing to just avoid being on social media at the gym. Whether it is a selfie on the equipment, or a mirror selfie during a curl to show all of your followers how much progress you have made in the past 30 minutes. But using Instagram at the gym is a total gym noob move. Yes we get it, #NewYearNewMe is very trendy. Leaving a stick of deodorant in your workout bag is a great way to never forget it when you workout. Also, a common complaint about gym noobs is they forget the deodorant stick.

Pro tip: Wiping down your equipment is expected when you workout on any type of equipment. So be sure to go beyond putting your equipment back, and remember to wipe the sweaty areas down with disinfectant wipes usually provided by your gym. Also, whenever you workout, your body sweats A LOT.

This concept may seem elementary, but it is often overlooked by many gym noobs. When using any of the equipment be sure to put everything back where you found it. Going to the gym requires effort beyond the workout.

So for all of the New Years resolutioners, here is Legend Fitness’ best advice on, “How to not be ‘that guy’ at the gym.” And when the gym is full of gym noobs the first few weeks after New Years, it may be harder for the #NewYearNewMe personality type to know what is actually okay at the gym and what is NOT okay to do at the gym. With all of this being said, all of the New Years resolutioners deserve the chance to get swole too.
