Etiquette at the Gym

If it is not yet to my time, but there is a machine open, I take it. We have a five minute grace perliod. I can throw someone off the machine I signed up for for the first five minutes of my time - then I have claimed the machine. If I fail to show, whoever is on the machine stays, until the next time slot. If I grab a machine I did not sign up for and someone claims it as their signup within the first five minutes, I get off - no question. After five minutes, the machine is mine - whoever signed up forfeited. The machines at my gym rarely sit idle...but neither do the workerouters because no one sits around waiting for anyone else to end their workout. We plan our workouts and follow the rules. I gym without signups is likely to have a lot of disputes. Mine has few, and all disputes are easily resolved with a review of the rules.

My gym is never crowded enough so the sign up sheet becomes necessary.
