Nobody seems to be able to put the weights back where they belong, and they all want to park themselves on a machine and text on their phones between sets.
Anyway, I found a smokin deal on a good barely used unit, so now I can work out on my own schedule without those frustrations.
Never mind the machine, look at all those wheels! I hear ya about the gym etiquette thing and have the same thoughts. Maybe it's just me, but I remember when we used to go the gym to work out but also socialize a little but now everyone wears ear buds now which are a message to stay away and don't talk. I get for some people like women and people really focusing it's fine, but it's ok to recognize another human being is in the gym with you!

Just my 2 cents.
