Manners matter in class: exercise etiquette to follow when you work out. Four etiquette pointers to keep you from making gym class blunders.

A crowded exercise class is no place to forget your manners. Here's how to be on your best behavior while you're bettering your body.


1. Stick to the back of the class until you know the ways of the workout. Don't confuse (and annoy) the regulars with missteps and not-too-smooth maneuvers.

2. Don't stand too close to others. Respect your neighbors' personal space during class; they'll be happier and you'll be far less likely to be on the receiving end of an accidental punch or kick.

3. Making minor modifications to the workout due to injuries or personal limitations is fine, but doing your own routine is both disrespectful to your instructor and distracting to your classmates. If you want to dance to a different drummer, pick another class.

4. Keep your personal possessions (water bottle, towel, gym bag) against the wall and out of the way, and keep your personal aromas (perfume, aftershave) to a minimum.
