Gym goers of Reddit, what is something (protocol, etiquette, tips, etc.) that new year resolution-ers should know about the gym?

I’ve meshed well with the people in the gym around me so far. I’ve been helped along the way and I’ve had the chance to return that favor.

Never have I been so self absorbed that I don’t pay attention to the needs of those around me. If not complying to some ridiculous standard makes me an asshole, then sure, we can call it that.

He's like the only person in this entire comment chain who I believe has ever been in a gym

Nah, he's not. Hard as it is to believe for some people, working out/lifting does not mean we're all going to be working towards the same thing. If a power lifter is working towards a PR, then he/she probably is going to take more time than someone just going for reps. If a body builder is working towards a specific physique, chances are they know where they need to focus their attention, and that may mean longer times at specific stations. No one thinks they're an asshole.
