      .... are you maybe in his way as he's heading to his workout?

      I would just say "Hi" back. But then, I'm fairly extroverted, and just assume that people who say "Hi" are just saying "Hi"...

      it's a greeting.

      since I consider myself a social freak (anxiety issues) -- I would look at him like he was crazy and keep on going.

      Probably just wave or a simple "hi" back. Unless it's like that one guy who just sits and stares at women, sitting near their machines and then when they go to get off, he goes "Hi." and then moves to watch somebody else. Then I'd just give him a dirty look. On the flip side, if the same guy (or girl for that fact) said hi to me, I'd probably try to start up a conversation. Could become gym buddies or something!

      Agreed.

      btw, you're ticker is cute... in a creepy pet cemetery kinda way :-)

      I'd return the greeting. I don't mind a polite hi or nod or whatever but I'd be hoping they don't want to chat further or want anything: I'm one of those people who doesn't want to chatty chat or be flirted with at the gym.

      I'd say hi back, especially if it's just "hi" and you're smiling or look happy.

      This subject makes me laugh. Reminds me of a vacation I took to the Keys some years back. Some dude in a black speedo, with long black hair, and enough gold around his neck to be a junior Mr.T. He was standing next to the bar out by the pool, and every woman that
      walked by got "hey baby". :)

      Depends on the way he says it really...but for the most part I would just think he is just being friendly.

      Of course, if he says it with a bit of a flirty smile then I'd think he thought I was hot...haha

      Either way though I'd probably blush and look at my feet...lol

      I'd look him up and down, take a deep breath, and say "hey" while giving him a head nod.

      I'd probably fall off the bike....or the elliptical.....or the treadmill.....or the stairclimber. It wouldn't be pretty.

      I'd say "hi" back and then I'd try to figure out if I'm supposed to know him from somewhere.

      I would say Hi back and possibly start a conversation. Depending on my shyness atm.

      I have been going to the gym back now for about 6 months and have meet a lot of good people. I just make sure that the drool is whipped of my face and the tongue rolled back up and put in my mouth. That and I take off the green plastic helmet and tell the short yellow bus to park down the street.
