Sometimes I notice it, especially when I'm in the weights section and it's usually just men around. I think they like to see what I'm actually doing there. It can be a bit uncomfortable but I get what I need to get done, and I make sure to wipe down the bench (if theyre gonna stare maybe this will remind them to clean up after themselves too), and then leave.0

I just checked, there is a plant fitness near my office.
On their website they feature Pizza Mondays and Bagel Tuesdays.
Why not Raw Almond Wednesday or Whey Protein Friday??0 -

When you're in the weight area and ur doing squats or something and you notice people looking at you through the mirror. Some people forget that the mirror is there.0 -

Yeah, I just sort of look back long enough for them to know that I see them looking instead of doing their own work, and then they seem to get uncomfortable and look away. I don't always feel that it's coming from a lecherous place but rather one where they see a woman doing something that they don't often see and are just curious as to what she's doing.1 -
Sometimes if I don't know how to use the equipment I watch people use it to see how to do it so I don't have to ask for help. Or I do look at attractive people I don't stare but if I find someone attractive I do look. But sometimes I just look and stare in one direction I'll look away if I see someone look at me like I'm staring.1

Anytime I catch someone's eye, I smile - whether it's at the gym, grocery store, sidewalk.5

Honestly, NO. Im too focused on what I'm doing, and even between sets my mind is envisioning whats next in my workout.0

Guys are visual creatures so when an incredibly fit or beautiful woman is close by its almost impossible not to catch a glimpse or two.
It's just like many women can't ignore a newborn baby, a kitten... or a shoe sale.
You know who you are.2 -
This thread makes me love my gym even more. So many women in the free weights area. We're usually the ones hogging the squat racks.
I stare into space a lot during rest sets or when foam rolling. I guess I do stare at people, but it's because there's movement and my eye gravitates toward that. I don't actually have conscious thought about it. I'm not judging anyone's outfit or physique or form. I'm pretty zoned out. I never notice if anyone is staring at me, and I don't look for it or care.2 -

No offence but you have to be looking at them to notice them looking at you my guess is your OCD and have Schizotypal Personality Disorder ...Do you notice everything around you cleanliness, dust, condition of the room, sound, temp, not just people?
Do you use words like Creepy, disgusting, gross? If so they are mere words that describe your insecurity with your own feelings about things you don't understand. Therapy might help if your strong enough??1 -

I'm a woman and I often think newborns are very strange looking. Also I'm allergic to cats so make that puppies.
How do you feel about shoes?0 -

Shoot, forget the babies, kittens and shoes.....Imma be looking at the hot guys pumping iron.
Well, you seem to have your priorities in order.
Do you only stare?
Any guy would be flattered to have you approach him at the appropriate time.0 -

Sadly, I'm shy, so I just glance and look away real fast.
Like I said. .... any guy would be flattered.0 -

I notice because I have peripheral vision. So I'm not allowed to use words "creepy, disgusting or gross" without having problems that can only be solved through therapy?2 -
They can look at me all they want. I never notice if they do or not. Focus on your own stuff. Forget the rest. It's all noise.1

Most people have peripheral vision its not a special talent.. Sorry!! My point was simple and Therapy Might help.
You for some reason believe people are doing something to you that they're not doing to everyone else and it bothers you more than the Majority of people so therapy could help.

I hope they're not looking at me but I'm there to work out. I'm usually face-down in the pool swimming laps so if I'm staring, it's usually just to figure out which occupied lane to try to get in to. Fortunately with the colder weather and the time at which I am swimming it's usually not an issue.0

How do you feel about shoes?
I love shoes but I'm kind of cheap and I feel terrible if I ever spend more than $45.00 on a pair even if I need them.
Yeah, I get that.
It's my biggest weakness.
$400.00 for a pair of boots?
Somehow it was justified.0 -
Don't know, don't care.
I do catch myself silently cheering the girls who load up the 45s..my people. I did give a creeper smile to a guy the other day for hitting awesome depth on the squat rack next to me while I was on the leg press...I genuinely just appreciate people pushing themselves.3 -
My teenager(stay with me... I have a point) comes home from school everyday, with a story about some other person who's looked at her funny or said something rude etc. I have the same answer every time( the same one that I will now offer you).... I'm sorry that you had a rough day but seriously though, Why do you care? those people hold no bearings to whether you live or die. Why do they matter?7

Same!!0 -
I do catch people looking sometimes. I just put my music louder, stand up taller and make sure my form is 100% on point. sorry, but I'm not letting no creepy eyes drive me out of my gains. Especially when I do weighted hip thrusts, ooo boy do the stares come. Glute gains over what people think any day. get through your sets and get outta there.0

Ok there were two woman working out this am while I was doing seated rows. They impressed me so I watched between sets. They non stop went from Leg press to dumbbell squat, to dumbbell stiff legged deadlift to dumbbell Lunges, walked a lap then started over it was insane the level of intensity they were using. I was at the gym for 75 min (5am) they were there before me and I left before them- It was Impressive to see.. At the same time if a Elephant was walking in the Mall I would look as its out of the ordinary- I might even stare and pinch myself.. This lady we work with wears the loudest shoes everyday to work pushes her Mammories to her chin with what must be a H8 steel bra, Bathes in Perfume, and wears Yoga pants everywhere and wonders why people look at her-- Fing Elephant in the Mall.. Four kids four different guys four different jobs its insane..0

People are always checking me out at the gym, but that might be because I'm wearing a tutu.0

Yes, I see a lot of people staring, and typically I awkwardly make eye contact, look down, and then either go back to what I was doing or walk to my next workout, which probably makes me look uptight as all hell...0

Lol this feels like one of those YouTube story time videos. "The day I nearly got assaulted at the gym!". In reality: A dude looked my way, turns out he was waiting to use the machine I was using.1
-
I can not lie... I would look! I must be a creepy perv..lol0
