At my gym, the benches are lined up horizontally in front of a large mirror. When you’re on a bench doing curls, the unspoken etiquette is to stand on your right side. That’s what everyone does at my gym, at least.
But sometimes, people just don’t care. They see the dumbbells on my right side and for some reason decide to stand there between their sets. I try to signal that I’m about to continue by readjusting my wrist wraps and standing up, but they still don’t move.
Should I confront these people, or is it better to just move somewhere else? I feel like I’m being stepped on every time I let people get away with doing whatever they want in the space I’m using.
