    Tiger, no time for nonsense in the gym. I hate the one guy that has to come over after every set and bring up some random bull****. I don't mind the guys that want to talk before or after you're done but once I start don't bother me unless you need a quick spot. Don't care about your theories about life, lifting, or funny anecdotes.

    Hi,
    Our treadmill and some of the machines have a tv so I have my earplugs in and watch tv.

    Music all the way! Upbeat country music or classic rock with a good beat. It helps me focus!

    I work out at the gym on base (I'm in the military) and if I venture anywhere but the elliptical section I'm usually the only girl. Headphones save me from awkward turtle moments. Uh... oh you were using that 15 lb weight? But I just saw you using that 50 lb weight.... Did you just want to hold my hand? Please go away I'm sweaty and gross and not cute right now... and so are you and you smell bad... hahahaha.

    Upbeat country? Does this really exist? ;) I'm usually the only girl in the gym as well. Luckily the guys around me are extremely supportive which makes workouts a lot more fun.

    I'm the IPOD in my ears, get the f-out of my way kind of girl.... Even the trainers know that I get in and I get out because I literally have no time to do otherwise.

    Only time I talk to people is when they are screwing around on a machine I want and I need them to move it!

    Yes it exists I promise! Haha. I love Country and I'm not ashamed of that. There's some great stuff in there.

    I wish the guys at my gym were supportive. They're not mean or anything but there's two reactions, either they're way too friendly (*cough* creepy) or they stare at me like I'm a purple spotted unicorn and they can't believe I exist! haha.

    during the lift i have to get the "eye" going, and put in the head phones. especially if i'm maxing or going for a lot of reps. but between sets i take em out and like to chat with my workout buddies, and i am on a small enough campus that i run into a lot of people i know at the rec

    I hear ya there. Especially nn my last set of main exercise everyday I flip to my favorite song and I literally block-out evrything around me until I just see the bar, complete focus. I don't see how people can stay focused on getting everything out of their lift when they're halfway in a conversation.

    Music blaring, the gym is not a social event, not even spinning class. Unless you're a 45 year old woman. :wink:

    Gee, thanks. :tongue:
