    I listen to rap really loud so I can't hear myself grunt on the heavier sets.

    I'm an eye of the tiger kind of person. Like, don't you dare come talk to me or I'll bite your head off. How I met my boyfriend at the gym is beyond me...

    If i don't listen to music, which is getting more frequent, I never talk to anyone. I despise small talk and can't do it, anyway. Annoying for all involved. I go to exercise, not have a sorority/fraternity meet 'n greet rush thing.

    I must be the mysterious 3rd type of person at the gym. I don't blare music into my ears and I don't talk to everyone... I just get on my machine, turn on the tv, work out, smile at everyone, and then go home...
    I'm with you - hide the elliptical or bike display with a magazine and just keep pedalling. Doesn't work on the treadmill so I have to design little plans to change the incline/speed at certain time intervals to give me something to focus on.

    I always thought the two kinds of people at the gym were:
    - The people who wipe down equipment after they use it, or
    - The worst people in the universe

    I read that on a blog somewhere and thought it was too funny not to share :)

    Music. I wipe down the equipment before and after I use it; part of my OCD. LOL

    Neither. I'm the one that works out with no music and enjoys the silence.

    My headphones are always in. My gym plays the crappiest music. I do love Adele, but really...how are you supposed to get into a good heavy set to that? But, I am not anti-social either. Everyone at my gym is really friendly, but also understands no one wants to chat for an hour either. A quick, "hey how's it going? what are you working today? have a good workout." suffices.

    The people that either have there ipods in blaring and look like they have the eye of the tiger lol or the guys that do work but talk to everybody who comes in the gym. Which one are you???:)
    I don't use an Ipod lifting or doing cardio. So I'm neither when it comes to my own workout.

    Ditto. I'm usually just focused on what I'm doing and off in my only little world. The place could catch on fire and I'd be the last to notice and run. And I sure don't visit with people during my workout. Maybe a bit before or after. When I'm there, I'm going to workout hard and make it count.
