I go the gym early mornings usually and I do the 12-3-30 method on alternative days. Anyway, my trainer caught me doing my routine and asked me not to use incline. She told me that a lot of people use incline and forget to ‘turn it down’ while switching off the treadmill and it causes the treadmill to break down. So now the gym management has decided that no one should use the incline feature on the treadmill, not even at 1 incline.

I told her that teaching people how to use the treadmill properly is a better solution than banning incline permanently but she thinks it is easier this way.

I used the incline today again before steam because well, I follow treadmill etiquette and am not harsh with the machine and I feel it’s unfair that the rest of us to be punished for no reason. She caught me red handed and told me off this time and Idk how to feel about it.

So AITA for using the treadmill at incline eventhough I was warned not to?
