How do you feel when someone of the opposite sex is working out in your section?

Most gyms either explicitedly have a weights and/or exercise equpitment section for women vs. men, or an implied section which tends to have lighter weights/ equiptment for women and heavier for men. However, there are always those that cross over to the other side, either men to the women's or women to the men's. Do you hate that? Does it impress you or annoy you? Do you think gyms should have 'sides' at all?

We ususally don't have gender sections in my country. But women tend to prefer other activities than weights. But whenever a woman does use the weights I know I can find it a bit uncomfortable since they're often wearing very tight clothes. When I'm working out I don't want to be distracted.

I've never been in a gym that tries to subtlety segregate the genders

I don't really care, I just do my work out. It doesn't do anything for me, theyre probably not there to impress 'me', my gym doesn't have any sides hehe

The gyms where I live don't have separated sections for genders. Here we all work out together and honestly it's much better this way.

I wish so badly that there was such thing as a men only gym, not sure there is much demand for it though.

Well I do believe there are still country clubs which have gyms, which are male only and of course some private gyms. Yes, it's a bit of a double standard that there are women only sections, but not named, men only sections of gyms. It's a little ironic because for centuries women were barred from such institutions, then able to join gyms and clubs, and then we make women only sections... however, it's only semantics because men aren't barred from the entire facility, just one section of it, so its like see, equality, LOL

It doesn't effect me.
