AIBU to expect people to reset gym equipment after changing settings?

AIBU to think that if your taking part in an organised gym class (think HITT, Hyrox etc) that if you change the equipment setting to do something else (because of injury or whatever) you should reset it before you move on?

For example the manual treadmill, is set to do a sled push on it, you’ve an injury so you run instead. Do you leave it on run (even through the instructor has told everyone to do sled push) or reset to run before you move on

YABU - it’s your job to check the settings before you start using the machine

YANBU - the instructor set it to one setting and told everyone what to do, if you change it. You change it back before moving on.

Though it does piss me off when blokes leave 4/5 plates on the bar and I have to move them as they are ridiculously heavy!

Yes I agree. I always take the free weights off when I leave a machine but the resistance machines where you just move a pin I don't as it's up to me to check them

I did enjoy one day when a guy offered to remove weights from a leg press machine for me but I was pressing more than he was

For the people not understanding the type of machines I mean. These are them, you set the tension depending on whether you are running, walking, pushing etc

Apart from one person asking the question, everybody who posted understands exactly what you mean - they just don't agree with you.
