    I am definitely the latter, but I sometimes do enjoy classes. There are some days where I just want to workout in peace

    I'm the latter, but I'd honestly welcome anyone saying hello or being friendly in any way… I don't function well in terms of "social outreach" I suppose

    Introvert for sure with minimal chat (spotting, equipment use, etc.). However, I do feel more motivated with some (not a crowd) similar introvert soles around & who act the same

    Neither. Disciplined and focused but I am happy to answer questions and couldn't care less how crowded it is as long as I can get a workout in. Love life and people. :)

    Edit: it's sad to me how many would rather just avoid people. :(

    I like being alone but I don't mind the familiar faces that I see regularly at the times I go.

    It's not usually they'd rather avoid, it's rather a case of we don't know how or why to engage with people, so it's easier to just focus on and get on with it. It's a thing, I have it

    I do a lot of thrusty things at the gym, take too many selfies and dance and sing out loud... I'd rather be on my own, no one needs to see that :D

    neither. i have been a gym mber for over 35 years...and I went afternoons when my children were young. and trained nightly when my children got older...now I train in the morning before work. I go for the facility and whatever time is best for my life and schedule.

    I'm the latter 100%
    It's why I love running outside. I don't have to worry about prolonged encounters with people, and 9 times out of 10 I happily ignore people I run past

    I see. Yeah, I don't mind people looking but I'm also a guy so it just boosts the ego. I could see it being creepy as a female. 😅

    I prefer to workout alone in my home gym.

    Ditto
