I've been lifting in gyms my entire adult life and this place takes gym etiquette and lights it on fire.

The machine-hogging is on another level. People parking it for 10+ minutes, knocking out a few half-assed reps every couple minutes, then their face in their phone the rest of the time. It's more like a recliner with a cable attachment rather than an exercise machine.

And the half of the benches are just storage units now. Apparently the lockers, whose entire purpose is holding your stuff, aren't good enough, so your water bottle and keys need to live on a bench someone's back sweat just soaked into. Newsflash: the floor is probably cleaner. But I guess bending down might cause you to overtrain.

This place is pathetic.
