    Super set almost every exercise, making minimal eye contact, pay attention to who is working close by you, shift locations in the gym (away from groups if possible). People are hard pressed to talk when you are taking practically zero rest between sets (might not be feasible to do this though based on goals/fitness level).

    Lifting @ odd times (1am in 24 hour gyms, 5am was my standard in non 24 hour gyms) helpful too (time of day crowd really matters - mostly intense, veteran, get-in get-out lifters). Be good & spot should someone be hinting at you (pay attention to those around you, but don't make too much eye contact, just the minimum - you using X equipment? Spotting, work-in, etc.)

    I find wearing dull color clothing (black, grey mostly) and nothing too revealing (no tank tops, short shorts, etc.) helps too (hoodie/sweatshirt is also good if weather permits).
