Do you all re‑rack dumbbells?

Came a bit early to the gym today, the mess was really getting on my nerves, so I just went ahead and re‑racked everything in its place. Do any of you do this or am I the only one?

If anyone doesn't, I'll fine them, bro :)

These people are useless; even my gym plays a sound to remind you to re‑rack the weights, but still some clueless folks ignore it.

I did a farmer's walk with a 20 kg dumbbell (max I shoulder‑press is 12.5 kg), and I put the dumbbell back where it belongs. Then some rude guy came, did his exercise and left the same dumbbell on the floor.

I re‑rack my own weights and sometimes others too if they're in my way.
I don't get why most people won't even re‑rack a 2.5 kg dumbbell.

Ujjwal

Yeah, and those who don't should be called out.

I hit the gym at odd hours, and I arrange plates and stack dumbbells that others used, even lining them up symmetrically while I warm up.

Always! I've been to Cult and those guys are the worst – they never re‑rack (pick any branch in Bangalore). In my new gym, everyone re‑racks and even keeps the weights in proper ascending order. Small things like that totally change the experience.

I only re‑rack my own used dumbbells. I only move others if they're blocking my workout.

No matter where I pick them from, I always put them back in the rack.
