Seriously, I don't look at people for this reason.

I also think that no one looks at anyone there. Is that weird? This is my first gym experience and I guess I assumed unless it was one of those gyms where cruising is common, people just do their own thing and don't engage/ don't have eye contact with each other. Or maybe I am at a socially remedial gym?

Someone enlighten me.

A socially remedial gym? For some reason that tickled me for a second.

First, the size of a person is not a determinator (determining factor, but I like the way I said it first better) of their fitness level. I'm pretty sure we all know this but I just wanted to put it out there. Second, some people will care and some won't. You'll get that anywhere you go.

Is it in a high crime area? That might be a reason people don't go looking around. If so, find another gym.

You have a point. People may cruise at that gym but, from my experience, that seems to happen at the larger brands and those that are right on the beach kind of gym, where there are a lot of 'hard bodies'.

I think you should just relax and work out and not think about where you should or should not look. That takes too much effort away from your workout, which is why you are there, right?
