tonilizzy88

or im only here to chat away my time

I don't exist when I am at the gym. I don't chit-chat, I don't try to interact. I only have 30-40 mins to max out my workout so I'm serious about it. I'm just a gazelle in the wild, running in her natural habitat.... don't eff with me!! LOL :flowerforyou:

GTOgirl1969

I'll talk to someone if they talk to me, but I don't go there for social hour. I put on my headphones, use the machines or weights, and that's it. When I take a kickboxing or an MMA class, however, I'm all business :-D

josaleigh

I am the "don't talk to me, I may eat you" kind of person. People walk by and say "Cheer up!" and my response is I'm not mad, this is just my face :huh:

GreenSkinnyJeans

Cardio is ALLL headphones, I will not talk to you on cardio.
But weights, yeah, I pull out the headphones and have quick chats with people .

Xandi

I am the scared and out of my element type person in the gym,
I am curious about all the equipment, but afraid to try something new.
I am a people watcher, I am fascinated by the way people get into their workouts and I am envious of the people who are "on a mission" I strive to be like them.

hahhaha that is SO me! i totally have a "Dont care" attitude while im working out.. i sweat like crazy, i make ridiculous faces, i mouth words to rap songs on the elliptical, I DONT CAREEEE lol

pilotgirl2007

I am the leave me alone and don't talk to me type! I am not there to chat, it's not a dating game, I have one goal in mind! With that said most of the time I am at the gym to teach so I guess I have to be social during those times lol

tonilizzy88

weights i understand but when ur flat out on cardio i can just about talk let alone hold a conversation lol.

i just think some women at my gym go to chat up blokes

sharesb

I am
Whatever you say I am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the papers, the news, everyday I am
I don't know it's just the way I am

I would much rather be there by myself. I always hated when my sister-in-laws would come at the same time and just want to chat. I like to be in my own world.

frenchprairiegirl

I don't mean to sound like a snob but I do not go to the gym to socialize. As a busy mom and shift worker, I have to maximize by very limited time.

jacksonpt

I'm a leave me alone kind of person. And not just at the gym. People irritate me and I have no use for small talk.

Move along.

bry_all01

I zone out, but people on their cell phones (for extended periods of time) make me want to rip them from their hands/ear and chunk it across the gym, ESPECIALLY when they get on the equipment RIGHT next to me when there are 25 other machines available.

Bailey543

This is exactly me!

I'm the most awesome person at my gym.

BrettPGH

Headphones and grim determination, but polite enough to wipe down machines and wait my turn.


Except this morning! I had to hit the last machine in my workout plan and some doof jumps on it with no idea how to use it. For 15 minutes I had to stand there while he fiddled with knobs and the weights, just do watch him do half of a set (half assed) and leave without wiping it off.

I don't like that dude.

JME67550

I don't talk. No chit-chat. I prefer to work out alone. The extent of my conversations might be "Are you using that? Mind if I do?" I can't understand why people (okay, especially men) feel the need to comment on how nice it is to see a woman throwing some real weight around, especially in the middle of one of my sets and when I have earbuds in. Please, save your back-handed compliments!

sillygoose1977

I am completely oblivious to the rest of the world at the gym. Except when the occasional sexy man passes by me, but at my gym that rarely happens.

MrsCon40

I am allergic to the gym - so if you find me in one (never) I am probably hyperventilating.

(I probably should get over that.)

kapeluza

LOL... I'm so focused at the gym that I am pretty sure if someone tried to chat with me, I would take off my headphones, turn to them and asked them if they want to get cut!!! With a crazy look in my eyes!!

Mikesrobin

:laugh: I talk to people if they want to talk. It passes the time for me. My husband and I are working out together so we discuss what is going on in our life. Another lady shows up about 15 minutes into our workout and we start talking to her. Pretty soon 45 minutes have gone by and we are about done with our workout. It is a great way to pass the time. I know some people like to be left alone so if they have head phones with them or seem to be watching the TV in the gym I don't bother them.

corpus_validum

Though I'm generally a happy, go-lucky person, I'm pretty focused at the gym so people generally don't approach me.

Either that, or I may look uptight cuz I'm trying to hold a load of gas from bursting out.

raaynes

I'll smile at someone I know, but that's about it. I'm fully engrossed in the workout at hand. I get very into my music during running - I've been known to sing and fist-pump the air when the music gets good.

OMG speaking of, when i was still single my mom would actually ask me if there were any cute guys at the gym.

starracer23

I'm red faced, covered in sweat, most likely smell and I'm all about business....I'm not there to chat...I might check out the booty that is around though...ladies beware!

thegymbunny

I don't to anybody, I don't make eye contact.

I workout, get my stuff done and leave.

otr12

I'm the most awesome person at my gym.

You don't go to my gym anymore?

Wileyjoe

I go to the gym for the competition and try to outdo whoever is on the machine next to me.

i'm usually tucked off in a corner or in the private training room (when no one is having a personal training session) and emerge covered in sweat. i usually avoid eye contact with others because i look a hot mess when i go and i'm not trying ot make friends there. headphones are usually always on.
