[quote=Anonymous]I'm a man. I go to a gym that is free weight oriented - practically no cardio. The gym has plenty of women who lift. I'd say on a given night it's probably 40% women. But this is different from a "big chain" gym because it specifically attracts people who want to do free weights and women who mainly want to do cardio won't join this gym. As someone who has attended "big chain" gyms in the past, I say don't worry about it, guys who lift like to see [i]anyone [/i]in there lifting and getting better - young, old, male, female, thin, obese, whatever. The men are not going to look down on you because you can't lift as much as them, if that is the concern. Just use basic etiquette - put your weights away when you're done, don't spend a bunch of time surfing your phone in the squat rack, don't walk right in front of someone and distract them in the middle of a set, etc.[/quote]
