I'm just praying that no one approaches me and working hard to send off *kitten* vibes so no one does.5

The only time I will notice you is if you were on the stair master long... "dang it, got to wait" but I would then go and find something else. Usually I would get distracted with some other machine and forget entirely.1

If you're doing something foolish, such as cheating badly during a set or using poor range of motion, then I might take notice. Ditto for people who chat for long periods during a workout class. That's true regardless of whether the person is overweight or trim.
When I see someone who's overweight but clearly putting a lot of gumption into one's workout, I will tend to notice that as well. I'll be silently nodding in approval.8 -
“Yaaaas, I love that my stomach looks flatter after I’ve finished deadlifts. How does that even happen?”
“G*dd*mn earbuds! If you keep popping out of my ear while I try to lift I’m going to lose my mind, I swear to gawd.”
“Puuuump! PUUUUUMP! YAAAAS BENCHPRESS! SUCK IT WEIGHTS!! RAAAAAAAAWWWWRRRRR!!!!”
Thoughts on newbies:
“Sweet, newbie. If they look super confused on a machine I’ll go over and offer to help set it up with them.”

Thinking to myself ....." ugh I know you can see my panties through my yoga pants ...hope everyone likes my cute lil penguins on my boootay as much as I do ;-).....whooooosh happy it's not leg day, one more rep and I should go up on my weights"
Thinking on the newb..." you got this....we all gotta start somewhere, just get in do your thang and pat yourself on the back and leave feeling amazing "
Honestly I'm kinda in my own world at the gym ....throw my earbuds in and just do my thing.2 -

I usually *am* the newbie....and am nervous I look like a newbie. And I see women with their "routine" without papers or a phone plan and I wonder how to get to that point rather than feeling like I'm wandering around aimlessly.
But when I do see someone who looks new to fitness or wellness, I think, "Way to go! Don't feel bad or embarrassed, because You. Are. Doing. Something!!!"
We’ve all been the newbie at one point in time and have felt scared, insecure and self conscious. I’m too busy trying to perfect my imperfectly perfect form but I’ve learned that most people are helpful. If you are following a program and carry it around with you, good for you. It will keep you on track.2 -
I'm usually thinking one of two things, 1. Who's on my deadlift platform/squat rack/bench? or 2. What moron didn't unrack my deadlift platform/squat rack/bench.
I'm a simple girl.4 -
'Stay. in. This. Interval. If you survive this interval, you can quit. Be here - you've done this before. Just get to the buzzer.
Where the *kitten* is that buzzer?'2 -
I’m usually thinking two things.... damn that girl is hot! And why do these mirrors mess with me!?1

....if you are a lady and thinking of wearing tights: make sure that if you bend over they don't disappear.
...if your an old guy please do not spread your bum cheeks in front of the hand dryer.3 -
...I was just like you years ago.1

"good for you for getting your kitten in here!"2

I think you're working hard and deserve mad respect just for being there. I hope to see your face every day!
Also I'm thinking @ everyone in the gym: "please no one talk to me please no one talk to me" lol3 -

lol I was in the squat rack once and in the rack next time mine was this gorgeous bikini model. So yeah I had the same though "just dont fart, just dont fart). Anyway i was squatting quite heavy (for me) and as I came up on my last rep it ripped. No not a soft little fart, it was like a thunderstorm. People actually stopped and looked around so I racked the weight and looked around as well shaking my head and looking all disgusted lol
I got out of there pretty quickly after that.
Nothing makes me laugh more than a good fart story. I've been married 23 years and rarely ever passed gas in front of my husband. Well, my 13yr old (who is like 5'6" compared to my 5") thinks it's fun to get on my shoulders and have me squat him. So one day I'm in the living room squatting him and same as you, on the rise up a giant one rips out - of course, in front of hubby. I blamed the dog.9 -
Like others said, I rarely notice other people at the gym. If I do, the only thing I'm thinking is "Yasss, you're killing it!" I don't care if you're 400 lbs, 80 years old, or a totally stereotypical gym-goer... We're all in this together and making a conscious choice to be healthier. Hoorary for that.6

Well, I usually go to the gym at 5:30-6am. I am usually only thinking about my my bed. Oh, and coffee.4

I've been going to my gym for 6-7 months now, my first gym membership - I was self conscious at first but now I feel free to just unapologetically check myself out in the mirrors all day, and it's what everyone else there was doing the day I showed up too4

I'm thinking "awesome! Keep it up!"1
