LOL! Tonight my PT was walking me through and I commented on how it seemed like social hour (a bunch of big dudes were leaning on a machine chatting) and that I'd always been intimidated by the weights area. He said, "See that mirror? Those dudes are more interested in looking at themselves."

Allowing a woman to get at the weight rack is as courteous as opening a door for her, there is a subliminal written code for it somewhere in every mans brain. If a man is that ignorant to intimidate you as you are trying to workout then he shouldnt consider himself a man at all.0

I don't think it's actually that they don't think you belong there. Maybe it's just different for them to see a woman in the weight area to begin with. I think it's more likely they think it's hot. Just ignore them, you're there for you not anyone else.0

This has been so helpful. I've recently lost quite a bit of weight and have more to go, but I want to start going to the gym to tone up as I lose the rest. Thanks for all the encouraging posts about what men are really thinking.0
