Gym Etiquette Sparks Debate: Should Runners Get First Dibs on Treadmills?
Gym Etiquette Debate: Should Runners Have Priority on Treadmills? A recent video from a gym in the US has sparked a debate about gym etiquette and the allocation of equipment. The video shows a crowded gym where all treadmills are in use. Two people are seen waiting for a free treadmill, and the video captures their discussion about whether runners should have priority over walkers when equipment is limited. One gym-goer states, "If the gym is crowded, treadmills priority go to people that are running." However, another gym-goer, who has a platinum membership, argues that a first-come, first-served system should be in place regardless of the type of workout. This highlights the tension between fairness and the benefits of higher-tier memberships. The video's popularity underscores the relevance of this everyday issue.
