I feel yet another tough love post coming on ladies. LOL!!
Just recently, over on the forum a topic came up and it got me to thinking. Time and time again I hear and read of girls having issues of being interrupted whilst they’re trying to train at the gym. I never quite understood why this was even a problem in the first place when from my perspective it was rather a simple solution.
Here’s what I do and I never have any problems. People leave me alone, after all I’m at the gym to train not socialise.
1. My iPod is on and playing as soon as I get out of the car before I even enter the gym.
2. I wear a hat to restrict eye contact with any gym users.
3. I also avoid eye contact with any gym users.
4. I don’t smile so therefore don’t look approachable let alone friendly. LOL!!
4. I certainly don’t talk to anyone. Let me stress again, I’m there to train, not socialise.
5. I give off a “approach at own caution” type vibe when I’m in there. This works a treat.
IF and I mean IF I am interrupted which seldom happens I simply tell them “I’m sorry, I’m training and on a limited time schedule. Is this really important?” Call me rude, call me cold, but this is my time and I will not be interrupted unless it’s important and/or urgent.
That and I don’t really care what other people think. I’m not there to win a popularity contest. They certainly don’t care if I’m goal orientated and on a schedule for training and nutrition. This isn’t about them, this is about me. I have to put me first and foremost.
The picture says it all and if all else fails, try one or more of the above techniques that work for me and let me know how you get on.
