Yep. That’s the universal gym code to let someone l is it’s in use. If it’s not marked and you don’t see someone, then it’s fair game IMO

Is it empty before my set starts? Is it still empty after my set? It's not being used. And of it is....frick them and their five minute rests.

This. If I’m using something I always leave a marker. Typically if something still has weights on it I’ll watch and see if anyone uses it while I get something else in. But, I’ve never been aggravated if someone hops on while I’m doing a set. No need for that.

This. The other day a guy was doing barbell curls on the only flat bench, while the two squat racks were completely empty. I just asked if he minded using the squat rack so I could bench and he obliged. Why wouldn’t one just do that from the beginning though!?!

My favorite are the people who take 10 minute breaks between sets just sitting on the bench browsing on their phone.
I mean, come on, hurry the frick up.
+1 and I also love the ones who put their bag/towel/bottle on a bench that they're not even using and then go work out on the other side of the gym.

People are self centered idiots, that’s why I work out at home. Frick all that....

Coming from the other side..someone that does a circuit of 4. I have no expectation that my circuit wont get interrupted. I would expect enough time for me to get some water and come back...other than that, you got things to do
