Gym Etiquette
Continue

I used to have a co-worker who was training for the Boston Marathon. She went for a run after work, and a driver cut her off when she tried to cross the street. In her frustration, she almost flipped off the driver. Fortunately, she stopped herself as soon as she realized it was a board member for the organization where we both worked at the time!

Whether you’re running outside or on a treadmill at the gym, your behavior outside the office can impact your professional image. WORKS chatted with April Cowin, a personal trainer at The Sports Club/LA in Boston, to find out about the biggest workout faux pas and how to deal with them.
