6 Tips on How to Keep a Low Profile at the Gym

[Xfitchick]

Are you often in the gym and instead of having a good workout, you are constantly interrupted by other people wanting to chat with you (the other sex or curious ones of your own sex)? Here are some tricks that help you to avoid. Certainly girls can profit from them. #BATTLEROYALE

1. Put music on

Put your headphones on and make it clear with your movements that you are listening to the music and don't want be disturbed.

2. Cover your body

Don't wear tight clothes nor little pieces that show your curves and developed body to the other sex so they cannot get aroused by it and seek contact.

3. Make training sounds

Breath heavily or make training sounds so it is clear you are in a heavy workout and cannot support interference.

4. Behave macha

Set up a face that says, don't mess with me or I will throw you in the corner. Drop weights with a sound.

5. Don't make eye contact

Don't look at people. Looking at people is inviting contact.

6. Do not smile

Certainly don't look friendly or even smile. It's even more inviting if combined with eye contact.

If you have other tips, or are just for more contact in a gym, share your tips.

Ah, the advantages of being an average middle aged man plus I must have an exercise bitch face, most of the time people leave me alone though as @HarvestMoon says there are guys like his guy in every gym. I work from home so try and go when gym/pool is quiet mid morning on weekdays during senior citizens discount times. The older guys love it, it is more a social outing than a exercise session for them and I often get the full routine of how the grandkids are doing while I am getting changed or in breaks in the gym area.

Any tips for guys? There's this 50 year old dad at my gym who comes over and talks to me every single time I bench. I'm not rude to him or anything, and I talk to him frequently about family and stuff, but I tell him that I don't like talking to people when working out. Then he's like "Oh really? Yeah, same here."

Whelp you can always go the creeper route. Put on your best Silence of the Lambs face, say

"Hey... you wanna know the difference between a ferrari and the souls of dead children? I dont have a car in my basement *cue creepy music* You wanna see?" O_O

But if he responds with "OMG same!" well then your fucked. Sorry man that dude's either lookin for some ass or a friend/son. ^-^ I wish you the best of luck!

Haha So be agressive and masculine? Nice. I still prefer just taking fitness classes - where there is no chance of anyone just going up to me and start talking. xD

Ah women always think that men really give a fuck about them at the gym!

In reality men are just their to work out!

Some women just want the center of attention

[Xfitchick]

Some men are and are recognizable and some females are and are recognizable, but statements are based on statistics and never 100% true.

[TruExo]

Yeah I don't agree with meeting girls at the gym. When I'm tooooo busy molding these guns!!!

[Jan1ssary_]

Well they dont work much :D Believe me.

[Xfitchick]

I never said it was 100% effective, but all bits help and its better than doing nothing. And I am sure its locality dependant. :-)

[Jan1ssary_]

Yeah it helps a bit as you said, but not much against my chattering friends :D

[Summer_Bunny]

Lol I've been doing this and it works😊

[Xfitchick]

Happy for you.

What about a high profile?

[Xfitchick]

[John_Doesnt]

no thanks. It was your idea to write a take about low profile, so write another one.
