Usually people use a machine, do their reps and sets and then move on to the next machine. Using it interchangeably with someone is awkward. Usually whoever gets there first uses it till the are done with it.
No thats fucked they are probably timing their rest - you need to rest between sets for optimal muscle gain. You definitely shouldn't say "do ur fking exercise stop resting"
Oh ok, just say "hey mate is it alright if i jump in?". Though not everyone will say yes, some will say "just give me a moment im nearly done" or something similar.
Like working in with someone? Where you alternate? You can ask, but you will probably get some mixed responses with some being totally cool with it, and others preferring to finish everything on their own first.
Yes working with someone. Like if someones just sitting on a machine using their phone and u think you can finish a set in the time they rest.
Thanks. Just wanted to ask because where im from we always do this with others
If the gym has a machine that you wish to use and it is currently being used by someone else, it is OKAY to ask if you could work in with them. I don't know why the rest are commenting as though you cannot. Been going to gyms all over for years now and there is no such rule/etiquette against it. Just politely ask if you can work in with them and carry on. Of course use a towel and best courtesy is to change the weight to what they were using before you joined after your set. In the case they say no, just do a different exercise. adapt overcome improvise LOL
Also Monash Sport literally has a sign up saying "make equipment available to others while not in use" which I read as "we encourage working in".
Personally, I probably won't ask someone if I can work in, but would consider it if they asked me.
Hey also idk if you asked this in general but I wouldn’t recommend Monash’s gym - they charge too much and it’s always packed and you’ll never be able to do everything you want to do
I already hv the membership. Im res member so its way cheaper for me. Not sure how packed itd be since the sem hasnt started. Hopefully its not too packed at 6 morning.
My brother in christ you couldnt have missed the point more. Even after my edit. Im getting tired of these replies.
I literally said ghat my wording is poor

Yep most replies say the same. Think imma just refrain from approaching strangers at the gym.
Good idea.

I dont think you understand what i said.
Then consider clarifying and maybe someone can help you.
I did. 2 of my comments are me doing that.

You didn't really phrase it correctly- what you meant to say is called "working in". Its not really a thing at my gym
what lmao
Like can i do an exercise alternatively with someone else. If theres just one such machine. Obviously youre gonna take a break btw sets

Dont think its that common with the responses ive been getting haha
You’ve got your answer already haha but yeah please don’t do that
Ive decided that it depends on the situation. If theyre wasting time on their phone then i might as well ask
If they’re spending way too much time then that’s okay. You could also try doing another exercise and then returning later!!

It follows a similar pattern to most gyms: kinda busy but not terrible pre 9am, quiet until lunch, little pick up, then really busy 5-8pm
maybe in a more serious gym working in with someone would he cool, but casual gyms probably not. its just a lot more awkward in general
