Do You Talk at the Gym?

Alluvial · 08-30-2009, 09:38 AM

I go to one of those women-only gyms, so there's no dudes there to ask me odd questions.

I do a small bit of chatting, but mostly I'm in such a hurry to get my workout done that I keep it to a minimum. I have made some good friends there.

I don't talk at the gym. I'll respond politely if someone starts talking to me, but I do not let it roll into a conversation. I'm there to bust my ass and then leave.

This is probably why my girlfriend will no longer go to the gym with me. I hardly respond to her and won't stand around and chat with her. This is why my brother and I like going to the gym with each other. We have a built in spotter that understands that compound phrases are verboten at the gym.

On the other hand, I'll have long drawn out conversations while running. That's a totally different thing.
