Gym rules are a common aspect of fitness centers worldwide, shaping the gym-goers’ experience and ensuring a conducive environment for workouts.
However, a recent incident in a condominium gym in Singapore has sparked a heated debate among netizens.
A seemingly straightforward rule prohibiting the use of social media during workout sessions has become a focal point of contention.
No social media allowed
The gym in question adorned its glass walls with a conspicuous sign explicitly instructing patrons not to use social media while engaged in their workout sessions.
This unexpected rule quickly caught the attention of netizens when a photo was shared on Sgfollowsall, accompanied by a caption:
“most stupid gym signage i’ve ever seen lmao. It’s so ridiculous cuz my neighbour told me the security guard came into the gym and told him to stop using his phone.”
Netizens flooded the comment section with a mix of amusement and frustration, questioning the rationale behind such a rule.
Netizens’ comments
- people who say not being allowed to use phone in the gym is okay clearly don’t hit the gym lol
- Either this stemmed from some bozo taking up the bench and hogging it while watching tiktok or someone tried to do a live or something and invaded the privacy of others.
- Imagine next time they write: “No using of social media in public toilets”
- Don’t want residents to take videos of others la.. since it’s EOY, CM don’t want to siam from trouble
- Anybody who agrees with those ridiculous signage clearly don’t lift weights.
- I agree with the rules because some of y’all seriously be on a machine for 30 minutes scrolling through ur social media and shit while the rest of us just wanna train and get the fuck out the gym
- Stupid indeed. As long as it’s not disrupting anybody why can’t people use their phones?
- Makes sense.. are you really working out or is this for the camera?
