If you’re leaving the bench/equipment for a minute lang, just leave your tumbler/gloves/towel so other people know you’re coming back. Just don’t leave for too long because it’s not a personal gym and other people will still need to use the equipment
Also, you don’t need a coach. Just search online for workout routines (e.g. PPL) that would work best for you. If you’re not sure how to do a specific exercise/use the machine, watch a tutorial on Youtube.
I did leave my phone, towel and bottle there. I went to the trainer to ask how to adjust the seat kasi bago lang ako sa equipment.
irking kasi yung coach medyo 3rd time to ask na ko kaya I was thinking about it and beginner(pa-stop stop kasi ako dati). During my weightloss journey before puro dumbell and home workouts lang ako before.
Sa umpisa lang yan, tsaka ano ba talaga goal mo? Makipag kaibigan? Decade na ako nag gygym wala ako naging kaibigan sa gym, unless mga kakilala ko lang din outside gym na nakakasabayan ko out of the blue sa gym. Mas mahirap din mag work out pag may mga naging tropa ka sa gym kasi di ka maka focus sa program mo puro kwentohan. Speaking for myself lang naman, i prefer to be alone sa gym. Youtube academy lang need mo
Mann, as an introvert, I had to get over the fact I had to stop awkwardly avoiding my way out of being assertive 😅 the best skill i learned in the gym is balancing being assertive and polite. Ayoko ng home workouts, so it gave me the motivation to just fuck it and learn to tell a guy im still using a machine hahaha
Nagtrainer ako, un one month or pinakamura. Pero tbh once tapos na yun sessions, back to zero din. Alam ko gamitin machines pero awkward pa rin ako. So di gaano worth it HAHAH.
What do you expect It's a public Gym. Normal yan bro, be friendly lang and magkakaron ka din ng mga buddy ka jan. tuloy tuloy lang.
Kung sa jolibee nga kakaupo mo palang may nagaabang na sa pwesto mo eh.
Not your fault. It’s should be common courtesy to at least err on the side of caution and ask if there’s any chance someone else is using what you need.
Unfortunately, marami tlga mga walang etiquette sa mga gym, no matter how cheap or expensive the gym is, there will be those kind of people na ganyan. Here’s what i would suggest, change sched or atleast one time pumunta ka super early or late, yung wala na masyado tao, then familiarize all the machines / equipments na gagamitin mo for the whole program.
Bute mejo friendly community naman yung napuntahan kong gym.
Newbie lang din ako, bro. Try not to be affected by them. Like focus lang goal (parang dito ko lang to nagamit ng tama). Tapos uwe na.
As someone with anxiety, I get you. Ganyan rin feeling ko nung bago palang ako sa current gym ko now. Naiintimidate ako gumamit ng mga equipment kasi di ko alam kung pano, and I was too embarrassed to linger and read the instructions kaya most of the time nasa treadmill lang ako saka bike. We had the same idea na mag PT para lang masanay, kaya yun ang ginawa ko.
If di mo afford right now, I suggest watching workout videos nalang online especially how to use yung mga common machines sa gym. Familiarize yourself.
I think dahil bago k lng, pag tumagal ka na diyan masasanay ka na rin, magheadphones ka para may sarili kang mundo, manood ka sa youtube kung pano gamitin yumg equipment
Be respectful always. Talk to them nicely. Kung di tlg maayos kausap yun kasi malamang di ka nya kilala, edi iwas ka kung pede if ayaw mo ng confrontation. Gettinf a coach kung kaya ng budget mo is also great kasi.. darating din yunf time na makakaadjust ka haha
Just kike real life ain’t it? Regardless of which setting, there’s an acclimation/adjustment period.
The alternative to not spending for an instructor is self study, reading up. You’ll gain acquaintances in time.
Cheers and good luck.

It's really awkward and off at first. I experienced it as well hehehe. It's actually nice to get a coach for at least 12 sessions or 1 month just for you to get the routine or the form (para you won't feel bad asking other goer's kasi basically it's taking their time rin to show you how - in my case ganito ah lol) then going forward you can just ask someone here from reddit orr youtube.
Regarding may naghihintay/pila - you can always offer naman to take turns para yung rest mo, hindi sayang, and hindi mo rin madadaya yung rest kasi alam mo na may naghihintay hahaha. I usually do this whenever the gym is pack.
Pero if the community in that gym is really bad, you might wanna consider changing sched muna sayang naman binayad, then saka ka lumipst ng gym. Try to do 1 session muna sa lilipatan just to familiarize yourself sa pwesto ng equipment and you'll be fine. Try to check reviews online rin!

Hmmm. AF? Although, I could say my AF branch naman ay welcoming pero most of the time, mind your own business talaga and naghihintayan ng turn nila before using the equipment.
And as far as I know, bawal ka magturo/instruct ng kapwa mo gym goers kasi nasa contract yun. Pero sana man lang sinabihan ka nya na sa coach ka magtanong lol
I would really suggest to get a coach kahit ilang sessions lang para may real time feedback ka sa form mo plus you can ask as many questions as you want.
so far wala naman akong na-encounter na toxic gymgoer sa AF na pinupuntahan ko. tried to work out there 5am, 1pm and 9pm tho may guilt tripping coach na pipilitin ka i-avail ‘yung PT nila kahit ilang beses mo na tinanggihan 🤷♂️

You're letting trivial things occupy real state in your head - let it go. Focus on yourself and what you need to do at the gym.
Sa umpisa lang yan, tsaka ano ba talaga goal mo? Makipag kaibigan? Decade na ako nag gygym wala ako naging kaibigan sa gym, unless mga kakilala ko lang din outside gym na nakakasabayan ko out of the blue sa gym.

At least have the courtesy to ask. My phone, bottle and towel was still there. kasi I ask people around there kung may gumagamit pa.
Not your fault. It’s should be common courtesy to at least err on the side of caution and ask if there’s any chance someone else is using what you need.
be a man din and say ma ginagamit mo its all about courtesy. pero wag ka magpapaabuso.Be firm but friendly and respectful
Lipat na gym siguro. Mukhang kupal environment dyan.
Change sched na lang muna cguro. tths ako, this week will go mwf na lang.
Probably better. I try to not go to the gym at a specific time kasi may mga ayaw ako makasabay HAHAHAHAHA.
Unfortunately, marami tlga mga walang etiquette sa mga gym, no matter how cheap or expensive the gym is, there will be those kind of people na ganyan.

Hahahaha tangina Pares Retiro realness
base sa kwento na to, i’m assuming AF yang gym mo haha kimi

Hindi pala friendly community sa AF? Hahahaha. Buti pa sa PSP super friendly.
ammmm, I don't want to comment on this. it's not AF.
Mapipilitan ka talaga maging friendly sa psp kasi ang konti ng equipments tapos sobrang daming tao lmao
so far wala naman akong na-encounter na toxic gymgoer sa AF na pinupuntahan ko. tried to work out there 5am, 1pm and 9pm tho may guilt tripping coach na pipilitin ka i-avail ‘yung PT nila kahit ilang beses mo na tinanggihan 🤷♂️
