    I go to the gym and do my thing. Don't really care what other people do or not do, or even what they wear in the gym.

    Find a new gym. Mine is not like that at all. I go for the free weights and other non cardio equipment and the free cross fit classes they offer. No cardio indoors for me unless it is the elliptical at home.

    I hit my gym right when they open at 5AM. Usually see the same 15-20 people in there every day at that time and most are just on the cardio machines with just a few of us contending for the free weight section. A few weeks ago I had to do my workout after work and went around 6PM. Much more crowded with a lot of younger people in the weight area just chatting and texting on their phones, not really doing much but being in the way. Was very happy to go back at the usual time the next day.

    Try a new gym, like the YMCA that seems a bit more family friendly, or go at completely off-peak times. First thing in the morning may be a good time since it's usually just people dedicated to getting in a good workout rather than finding a date.

    I've learned a lot since I've signed up for small classes at the YMCA. Sometimes it helps to have other people push you a little farther than you would if you had just worked out on your own. Also, having someone teach proper form on various moves has had a huge impact for me.

    i hate the gym too!
    (when it's closed)

    the men were likely "moaning" because they were lifting heavy and pushing themselves.
    the women were likely checking out their dumpers because the squats are working.
    the one person you have to worry about was too consumed with what other people were doing to get a decent work out.

    I love the gym.

    But I've lost all my weight working out at home.

    Because I'm poor.

    I can't stay out of the gym. I love it!
  • Luckily there are so many new options to the gym. I do a sword workout that gets a lot of stares but is pretty awesome...
    my friend was even used in a video game ad for them, haha
