About A/C war at the gym?

[Comeymemo]

I live in an apartment building with a small private gym.

I’m nearly always on my own when I use the gym in the morning. I turn the lights and A/C on when I arrive. If no one is there, I turn them off when I leave.

From time to time, around the time I leave, one of my neighbours (let’s call her A) is arriving.

Whenever A arrives, she immediately announces that she’s cold and switches off the A/C. By that time I’ve just finished cardio, I’m really hot, and I’m stretching. I want to keep the A/C on for my last 5 minutes before I leave.

AIBU to think that A shouldn’t switch off the A/C when I’m there? She knows I put it on, and she also knows I’m about to leave. Isn’t it rude of her to override me?

Should I build up the courage to say something, or should I rise above it?

There’s no back story with A - she is elderly, doesn’t work, has lived in the building a long time, I don’t know her name and have no other interaction with her.

She also switches the tv on at blaring levels, but I don’t mind about that. It’s just the A/C that bothers me.

Depending where you live, there are legal safe limits for gyms. The building should be maintaining a consyant temperature and controls shouldnt be accessible. I have been through this 😀 to be honest it's not always a battle worth fighting, people are so bloody easy. I drive 40 minutes now rather than walk 3 seconds to my corporate one but it's worth it.

Arrive and leave five minutes earlier ?

Surely it was would benefit your stretching for the room to be a bit warmer?

What temperature do you set it at?

YANBU. She is being rude! She'll warm up when she starts working out

If she’s cold, she needs to work harder. There is absolutely no reason the gym should be warm.

She should arrive with an extra layer on to remove when she's warmed up. That's normal practice anyway.

It's rude to go in and override the previous person without consultation.
