Noise from gym
TRACK ONE Length:

BUT THE GYM'S NOT ALWAYS THE GREAT ESCAPE HE'S LOOKING FOR.
SOT
KEY @ : 11 Drew Brennan, Works Out Alot
"There certainly are some people you know who do inconsiderate acts."
TRACK THREE Length:
11
EXPERTS SAY BAD BEHAVIOR IN GYMS IS ON THE RISE... AND THAT'S PROMPTED A GROWING
NUMBER OF FACILITIES TO GET TOUGH....
FROM DAY ONE, GYM MANAGER TONYA JACOBS MAKES SURE MEMBERS PLAY BY THE RULES.
SOT
KEY @ : 36 Tonya Jacobs, Gym Manager
"A membership director would sit down with a new member and go through
a membership agreement including the club bylaws."
TRACK FOUR Length:
14
SOME GYMS EVEN MAKE NEW MEMBERS SIGN ETIQUETTE AGREEMENTS!
AND YOU CAN FORGET FORGETTING! MOST GYMS POST SIGNS INSTRUCTING MEMBERS TO
WIPE DOWN EQUIPMENT, LIMIT TIME ON CARDIO MACHINES...STAY IN SEQUENCE ON THE
WEIGHTS! AND THEN THERE'S THE BIGGEST EXERCISE BLUNDER....
SOT
KEY @ : 47 Tonya Jacobs, Gym Manager
"The one that we seem to be enforcing over and over again is the cell
phone policy and cell phones not being permitted on the workout areas."
SOT
NO KEY
"One of the things that personally bothers me is when the person next
to you will be on the cell phone just yapping away."
TRACK FIVE Length:
06
EXPECT A WARNING WHEN YOU BREAK MOST RULES, BUT IF IT'S A SERIOUS OR REPEAT
OFFENSE, BE PREPARED FOR A HARSHER PUNISHMENT.
SOT
KEY @ : 1:05 Tonya Jacobs, Gym Manager
"Depending on the severity of it, it may lead up to a warning letter,
and ultimately, suspension."
TRACK SIX Length:
08
DREW'S NEVER CLASHED WITH ANOTHER MEMBER AND SAYS HE PROBABLY WOULDN'T UNLESS
IT WAS SERIOUS. HE SAYS COMMON COURTESY IS THE KEY TO A HAPPY WORKOUT.
SOT
NO KEY
"You know, I think just people need to be considerate of others and to
get in and enjoy themselves."
ANCHOR TAG:
ANOTHER COMMON RULE:
BE MINDFUL OF HOW YOUR WORKOUT CLOTHES SMELL AFTER A WHILE!
IF YOU'RE NOT COMFORTABLE APPROACHING ANOTHER MEMBER ON YOUR OWN, JACOBS SAYS
DON'T HESITATE TO ASK A MEMBER OF THE STAFF TO HELP OUT.
YOU SHOULD ALSO DOUBLE CHECK YOUR GYM'S POLICIES ON CAMERA PHONES. MANY DO
NOT ALLOW THEM ANYWHERE, BUT IN LOBBIES.
