    I have a gym that I workout by myself at early in the morning. That way, nobody has to worry about possibly someone looking at them with admiration. Plus, I hate people. It's a win/win scenario.

    I say that the plus of having my gym at home is that I can leave things out wherever I want to. But the minus is the jerk who leaves her stuff out wherever she wants to.

    We must go to different types of gyms. I lift, and I see other women lifting as well.

    This ^ I frequent a few different 24 Hour Fitnesses and women seem to have no problem in the weight section. I notice at my work gym they tend to stick to the smaller weights and take them off in a corner to use them. I did use to belong to an all women's gym and I actually like it but it closed down.

    I'm also not saying no women are never in the guys section, just not as much as their should be! I know women will lift but many more women would be there as well if they didn't feel a certain way! I personally know a lot of girls who will do cardio and abs and that's it when weight training should be a big part of your workout
    What's a "guys section"???
    You mean the free weights? lol
    Not a "guys section".

    I know that's why it's in "" because a lot of people have called it that before but I say free weights right after that. I was trying to make a point I know it's obviously not called a "guys section".

    I put it in quotes. You didn't.

    But sure, okay... in your title you do put "guys" [sic] in quotes. yes.

    Regardless: a good way to not perpetuate the silliness is to not call it that.

    Yea and I don't call it that like it's bothering you that much I said that..... get over it I was trying to make a point more women need to lift free weights and not think it's just for the guys so take your problem elsewhere.

    LOL. You flagged me? You flagged everyone of my posts?
    It seems YOU need to get over it.
    Mods don't like that, by the way.

    To often I find myself the only women in the free weights section of the gym at many different gyms! Don't let guys make you feel ashamed or that you cant! Many guys might stair at you but don't let that stop you! Keep your head up and focus on your workout that your doing! Lifting is for women too and you won't become to manly if that's what your thinking (:

    Haha I love this post, it's so true! I always notice myself being the only female and it saddens me because lifting free weights is so good for toning, which so many women complain about and say they need to improve! My best advice is to tak to the trainers at the gym and learn how to correctly use the equipment to look like a professional!

    What does not having a picture of herself have to do with what she is saying? In my experience, women avoiding the free weights section has nothing to do with the fact that there are men in there, and more to do with being unsure about what exercises to do and how to use the equipment properly.

I dont know where you guys get this creepy stares from guys yll complaint about? but in gym its straight business and ear phones with flo rida and yea muscular chicks are hot

    Yeah okay, you have no idea what you're talking about. You don't see it, don't experience it, so you assume it isn't real. Glad it's so sunny on your side of the fence.

    You sure you don't stare at your "volleyball chicks"?

    lmaoo hell I grab their butts as hard as I can out but nah, not in gym. U mad bro? u mad lol

    I was unaware that DeVry had a gym, let alone a volleyball team.

    This isn't your page. This is a public forum on the internet. You don't get to decide who joins the discussion.

    Also, women should only lift if they want to. They don't *need* to do anything. You sound really condescending.

    In my experience at the local PF that I go to, it seems that the younger guys usually HS age to early 20's are the ones that ogle and stare at the women. They do one set and then sit there for several minutes, then do another set. The older guys, myself included, will notice a woman (human nature) and then just get on with our sets, no sitting there for minutes thinking this or that.
