There are many who do not maintain proper hygiene at the gym. Flex strongly disapproves of such behavior; he advised that one should treat the workout space and changing room like they would treat their own home. Imparting the words of wisdom, he wrote, “try not to break things, be careful ending sets, and don’t slam equipment.”
He further added, “wipe things off…no one wants to deal with your sweat.” He also re-emphasizes another vital rule that goes unsaid, and that is “Don’t steal from your gym!.“ So the next time you are hitting the gym, make sure that you keep the pointers in your head.
