Music it is! i dont like the thought of people looking at me so DEFINATLEY don't talk to me! lol0
-
I must be the mysterious 3rd type of person at the gym. I don't blare music into my ears and I don't talk to everyone... I just get on my machine, turn on the tv, work out, smile at everyone, and then go home...
That's me a lot. Sometime I do the music but I get bored so the TV helps me keep going. i find I better in the Zumba and Disco dance classes but I also sing to the songs too so i must really look looney!0 -
music all the way. i cant stand people talking to me while im all sweaty. its weird.
I feel the same way...i'm like can't you see i'm focused right now0 -
Music and focused. I usually walk around looking like I would rip your face off if you try talking to me. Probably why I have never had someone try and talk to me at the gym.0
-
I hate being talked to, I wish I could cover myself in a protective bubble - shroud of invisibility. Eye o' the Tiger here. I laughed at the 'other' type tho when I read it.. haha. There's always those guys - they do like 4 squats then go over and chat to another big burly dude doing 4 squats, then they stand and talk about how much they lifted the other day. lol.0

The people that either have there ipods in blaring and look like they have the eye of the tiger lol or the guys that do work but talk to everybody who comes in the gym. Which one are you???:)
Eye of the tiger. My headphones are huge and noise-canceling so I can't hear anyone but my badass workout music. I had Rage Against the Machine going yesterday.
By the time I'm done, I look like a sweaty red alien. Nobody talks to me at the gym.0 -

Eye of the damn Tiger.
I often catch myself accidentally singing out loud to whatever is on my ipod, and depending on what it is (I have quite random taste in music) it can be pretty embarrassing. Like the other day when I was lifting weights and accidentally started singing Drake and Lil Wayne "The Motto" out loud. Not exactly appropriate language. Oops.0 -
Not really either of those. I'm the chick that has the music blaring, but is usually singing, dancing, head banging, air guitaring, air drumming...etc. while doing most everything I do while I'm there. I'm usually really focused (obviously in my own little world), but the gym usually takes my mind of stuff, and puts me in a good mood.0
-
I got both...If I go with some friends I will talk to them only....but if I go alone I have the Ipod going, wondering if anyone else can hear my music0
-
I always have my headphones on, even if my Ipod isn't on. I prefer to be left alone and focus on the task at hand.0

and others
i'm more laid back (no ipod) and socilalize with everyone & help them out0 -
I'm the first.. Made the mistake once of saying hi to one of the senior citizens that works out there and it resulted in a 45 minute conversation of his day.. Gym childcare cost me an extra $2 that day...lol0
-
I've got to have the tunes cranked up!! : ))0
-
I'm in my zone w/ my headphones . . . sorry no time to chit chat I'm working on a bangin' body0
-
Iam also the 3rd type. its my time for peace and quiet. no loud IPod blarring in my ears. No making new friends or aimless chit chat. Iam all business with what I am working out on be the treadmill or weights.0
-
i used to come in without headphones or anything.
but now, i got my headphones shoved in my ears and SO loud while i run! but i dont listen to anything when i lift (which is daily) but when i get to the cardio, its dubstep all the way... gets me runnin forever without even thinking about it!0 -
My dance music blaring in my headphones I don't like to be social at the gym unless I'm taking a group class
But its so hard to hit on you when you have your headphones in....

Ha ha! I just discovered that mouthing the words is a good way to distract myself from the fact that the treadmill is SO boring (I like running outside but I'm not so tough that I'll do it in any weather). I'm training for a half mar. and did 7 miles on the treadmill the other day with ipod blaring, mouthing the words, sweating like a pig. I'm sure I looked like a total nutjob. I really couldn't care less though! I had fun.0
-
Neither I'm a runner and spend the majority of my gym time on the treadmill. But no music for me please...I like to block everyone and everything else out. I like getting lost in my thoughts If I do take my headphones, I rarely know what song is even playing haha!! I'm not much of a talker when I'm working out...I'm usually running way too hard to hold a conversation of more than head nods and an occasional "yea" or "no"0
-
music up LOUD! doesn't matter if i'm doing aerobic type work out, or weights.
i don't even look people in the eye at the gym. not 100% sure why...... i'm pretty much in there to do my thing. get in/ get out!!
there is a trainer at my gym that i actually have spoken to once. i was in a boot camp class and he was at the desk behind us, so, we exchanged a couple words, LOL! that's it though!!!0
