    I am SUPER focused at the gym because I only have 30-40 mins to work out. It kind of bothers me when people start talking to me. I am not rude but not really talkative.

    When I go to the gym I usually keep my focus on myself. People usually get the hint with headphones. It's like the only time I get to focus on myself!

    Me too I'm a solo exerciser! I like chatting before and after classes though :)

    I'm a solo gym goer as well, for most of the same reasons that others mentioned - limited time, want to push myself. I also go right after work and before I go home and have to cook dinner, etc. so I consider it "my" time to listen to music, peruse an Us Weekly and work up a sweat.

    I've even had friends say "we should go to the gym together....i'd love to go to that class", and I'm honest and say it's not how I roll.

    Gym time is "me time"... even if the fiance goes with me, I pretty much ignore him. I'm not there to socialize, I'm there to de-fat-icise.

    Me too Headphones on, do what i'm there to do, shower and leave.

    My gym has a restraunt and bar / social area. I leave the socialising to my wife who is very good at that sort of thing.

    I don't want to speak to anyone when i'm struggling for breath and covered in sweat :noway:
