Now you don\u2019t HAVE to workout in a gym but don\u2019t let intimidation keep you from walking through the doors.&nbsp; You can boost your confidence and ensure a safe and effective workout by learning the lingo (or gym terms) and knowing (and following) gym etiquette.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Tip #57 - Learn The Lingo\" width=\"650\" height=\"366\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lvkKgDPg5ys?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s start with some of the common types of equipment:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/firedupfitness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-660\" width=\"201\" height=\"168\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4>The Barbell <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A barbell is a long, 45-pound steel bar that can be loaded with additional weight on each side. You can use these to perform exercises like the bench press, squats, deadlifts, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/firedupfitness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-661\" width=\"207\" height=\"172\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4>The Dumbbell<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Dumbbells are small, handheld weights used for weightlifting exercises. Dumbbells can be as little as half a pound and as heavy as 150 pounds or so, though most commercial gyms will only have dumbbells up to 80-100 pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/firedupfitness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-662\" width=\"181\" height=\"151\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4>The Kettlebell<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A kettlebell is a round weight with a handle on the top, capable of sitting flat on the ground.They can be easily gripped by one or both hands and are usually used for dynamic, athletic-type movements (like kettlebell swings).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/firedupfitness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/4-edited.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-664\" width=\"206\" height=\"116\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4>The EZ bar<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The EZ bar is a smaller, 25-pound steel bar that\u2019s bent at an angle in two places, allowing you an easy place to grip it with each hand. EZ bars are a little bit easier on your wrists when doing certain movements like bicep curls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/firedupfitness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/5.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-665\" width=\"204\" height=\"170\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4>The Trap bar <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A trap bar is a unique barbell with an opening in the middle shaped like a hexagon, allowing you to stand directly over the center of the bar and grip the sides, which are elevated. Trap bars are usually used to provide better leverage and a slightly safer way to perform deadlifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/firedupfitness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/7.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-666\" width=\"174\" height=\"145\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4>Plates<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Plates are (usually) round, iron weights that can be loaded onto a barbell, EZ bar, or trap bar to perform weightlifting movements. It\u2019s common to find plates as light as 2.5 pounds at most gyms, all the way up to 45 pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Free weights<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Free weights is an all-encompassing term that refers to any weight that\u2019s not attached to an apparatus. Plates, dumbbells, and kettlebells are all free weights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/firedupfitness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/6.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-667\" width=\"148\" height=\"123\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4>Clamps<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Clamps or clips are things that you slip onto the end of a barbell in order to hold the plates securely in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/firedupfitness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/8.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-668\" width=\"282\" height=\"235\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4>Power Rack<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A power rack is a four-pillar cage, usually made of iron or steel, that supports a weighted barbell and assists in a variety of lifting exercises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Squat Rack<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A squat rack is similar to a power rack, but usually has only two pillars. It does not fully enclose the barbell, and is designed to give you more room to back away from the apparatus to freely perform squats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/firedupfitness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/9.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-669\" width=\"212\" height=\"177\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4>Machines<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Weight machines are gym equipment you normally sit on that are designed to work your muscles by guiding you through a controlled exercise.&nbsp; Resistance is provided by a weight stack which is usually several rectangular shaped plates that are stacked on top of one another. Resistance can then be selected by using a pin that can be placed at a chosen spot on the stack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Gym Etiquette<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Next let\u2019s talk about gym etiquette.&nbsp; It\u2019s not just about good manners.&nbsp; Proper gym etiquette ensures a safe and effective workout for you and your fellow gym goers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li><strong><em>Work in<\/em><\/strong> &#8211; If you need a machine or rack, but it\u2019s already in use by someone, you can ask them to \u201cwork in.\u201d That means you\u2019ll take turns using the equipment. While they\u2019re resting, you\u2019ll perform a set, and while you\u2019re resting, they\u2019ll perform a set.&nbsp;&nbsp;At the moment, many gyms have asked members not to share equipment in this manner due to the COVID-19 pandemic to limit the spread of the virus within the gym.&nbsp; If you\u2019re not sure, it\u2019s best to ask at the front desk what their current policies are.<\/li><li><strong><em>Load and rack <\/em><\/strong>&#8211; When you are getting ready to lift using a barbell, you\u2019ll \u201cload\u201d the plates onto the bar. When you\u2019re done, rack the weights and put them back where they came from.  It\u2019s extremely important to put back all equipment when you are done with it to ensure that it can be used by the next person and doesn\u2019t pose a tripping hazard because it\u2019s left on the floor.<\/li><li><strong><em>Wipe down <\/em><\/strong>&#8211; Once you are done with a machine or piece of equipment, wipe it down. Most gyms will have wet wipe dispensers all over the gym for this purpose.<\/li><li><strong><em>Be mindful of your surroundings<\/em><\/strong> &#8211; make sure you are paying attention to what\u2019s going on around you. For example, don&#8217;t start a set of kettlebell swings without first making sure you have adequate space &#8212; and look out for anyone else swinging a kettlebell or other weight when walking from one place to another.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you know!&nbsp; The gym doesn\u2019t have to be an intimidating place.&nbsp;&nbsp;It can be a place where you meet new people, feel healthy and build strength, flexibility and endurance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learning the lingo and the etiquette will allow you to walk into your next gym workout with confidence and ready to sweat &#8211; willpower not required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking for more exercise tips or ideas?
