Do you judge people at the gym?

Question

I just got a gym membership to lose weight and get healthy, but I'm afraid of the judgement since I've never really exercised out in public. I'm 20, 5'2.5", and I weigh about 200 pounds

The only time they judge is when they are talking or wasting time while on the machines yet still not using them (retarded gym-bunny syndrome)...the gym isn't a social club or a Facebook account, if they want attention or to talk to people or to judge people they need to go on one of those sites or clubs. The gym is to bust your ass, mind your business and get out.

If people are judging you at the gym then they aren't using the gym because how can you have time to judge a person if you are totally in the zone working out? So they are lame-ass ducks if they judge you, don't mind them. Do what you have to do bro!

ehh maybe in passing but not really I more judge the workout like if it was a "bigger" girl that was just walking to get into shape id probably laugh or be judging a lot harder than if I saw someone who was trying to better themselve by going balls to the walls even if they couldn't do that much (like running as hard as you can even if you have to take a break every minute or two)

I'm generally zone out when I'm working out, so I don't even notice the other people. But, if I saw somebody who was overweight at the gym, or trying to better themselves in someway, I'd be proud of them. I personally find it amazing when people try to improve themselves and make themselves better. I say, just turn your music on loud enough, and exercise hard enough to silence all that bad stuff in your head. And, it will eventually stop, and you won't care so much what people think.

I don't judge people at the gym because I know that if they are really sweaty and nasty lookin then they are getting closer and closer to being healthier thro exercise, I know that when I get done with my workouts I look like something the cat coughed up, but once I step out of the shower I feel all refreshed and happy.

No why would they unless they are like a really preppy bitch. Everyone at the Gym wants to get fit and if you are making an effort they are most likely to think that it is a good thing you have found motivation to get fit.  Either that or they are like really busy sweating it out focusing on their own goals

The friends I use to go work out with will criticize me a lot because every time I'd finish a work out I will check my phone for a text or change the song and they will tell me your working out your fingers I didn't tell them anything till they got annoying so I told them and you guys are working out your mouths? Lol so don't take a friend and you will be good:)

I don't judge them if they're trying to make a difference... I only judge the skinny guys who go in to try and lift big weights to impress girls, they just look pathetic and dangerous as well, they'd probably injure themselves.

Nah I'm in my own little world when I'm at the gym. It's kind of my time. I don't care for socializing at the gym or to ogle/stare/judge folks when there

When I first joined a gym, I had the same concern.  However I learned that most people go to gyms for working out, not to act like high school kids.  After that, I had no worries when I visited the gym whatsoever.

ryanontario · Answer

no I'd think it was good someone like you was trying to improve  themselves for the better and trying to live a healthier lifestyle

theblondeguy · Answer

theres a lot of different body types at all gyms don't feel bad theyll respect you for trying which is more than most people do...

front2back · Answer

Nope, even though I may be a lot more in shape and stronger than everyone else, I had to start somewhere too. Although, that isn't to say that others have despised my presence.

Everyone is so nice at my gym. I ran into a bunch of people I haven't talked to in a long time earlier today and they're just as personable as ever. A refreshing change from most people.

THE_Godfather · Answer

No. I give them credit for starting to change their life around.

HungryJones · Answer

Nah I don't judge, unless you're one of those people that take 20 min on a bicep curl machine because you're talking on the phone or spacing out :P

unighted · Answer

I don't judge anybody if I can helpt it, there is no point.

Anonymous · Answer

No, not really.  Don't worry about it.  If anything I DO notice the really hot girls in tight workout outfits, but I can honestly say I've never looked to judge anyone else.  Good for you for working to improve.

No way, why would anyone ever do that? You're at the gym to better yourself, not to be criticized for not being in optimal shape or having the best body mechanics.

Anonymous · Answer

I wouldn't, but I feel certain that other people would judge me, which is why I exercise at home.

THChowder · Answer

No, I'll be worrying about myself.
