Do you take the machine next to someone when there is about 20 others that are open? This I find happening more and more when I'm at the gym, seriously drives me nuts, I like personal space and these gals get up on the machine right next to me. Why you gotta invaide my space!?

    They want you to stare at them while they work out - then act all pissed off and shocked if you do :noway:

    I'm gonna go with the fact that you look good and they need eye candy for motivation. Take it as a compliment. :blushing: And it counts for reassurance you don't smell. :laugh:

    LOL I get like that too while at the gym. I do like having at least the machines right next to me empty but I guess you can't really control which machine someone uses. It only sucks when those people smell... :sick:

    That's why you buy equipment for a home gym. I'd much rather work out in the privacy of my own home than be crowded by sweaty folks who think that it's social hour.

    uggggh i hate this too. when i was really overweight and first started at the gym really fit dudes would get on the treadmill next to me but couldn't keep up because i had a longer stride being 6'0" and fairly muscular in the legs despite my weight lmfao. it was priceless.

    anyone someone gets on the machine next to me, i treat it like a race. i'm sweating balls running there. hell yeah i'm proud of that.

    Actually, I always feel it would be a bit rude to take a machine really far away from the only other person using one - even though I'd much prefer to be all by myself, far away from them! I don't want it to look like I think they have cooties or something!

    You don't own the space, Ducky..... those women are obviously less worried about personal space and more about getting the job done than you are.

    Because they think you are good looking and know what you are doing. They want a little help. Orrrr, you look old and safe and they are worried some weirdo will come in next and sit next to them. ;)

    I have a favorite machine at the gym... it sits right under the air conditioning vent...if it's open I take it .. if not I go for the next closest one ... I don't care if it puts me next to someone unless they are smelly or looking like they may keel over. If you like personal space that much try taking an extra water bottle and put it in the machine next to you ... that way someone will think it's taken already.
