Gym etiquette

Speaking during instruction

Take this slowly, stay balanced, and ask your coach when something feels unclear.

what to do

  • Stop and listen when the coach is talking.
  • Save questions for the end of the explanation.
  • Ask if nobody else does — others usually wanted to.

what not to do

  • Do not keep hitting the bag while the coach explains.
  • Do not hold a conversation across the floor.

why it matters

Coaches explain once for the room. Hitting a bag through it means everyone hears it twice.

quick rule

Hands down when the coach talks.
