> I’m joining a gym up the avenue in the next few weeks. Too freaking cold to ride my bicycle. In addition to the peeves listed above, what else should I look out for? I’ve not gone to a gym in 12 years, and that was a huge place not very heavily used during the day.

A constant problem at the gym I go to is a guy who leaves weights on the bar on the only flat bench press and wanders off for 10 minutes or even more. When he comes back, he gets very upset if someone has removed the weights and is using the bench/bar.
