[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve been working out for over a decade and this is the first time I’ve encountered this. There are “regulars” at my gym and everyone is polite, but we are there to work out and that’s it—nobody is social. This guy is also a “regular” too, so I’m not sure why he’s suddenly fixated on me. It all started earlier this week when he jokingly came up to me to tell me he knows I could get a couple more reps out. I had to pause my music and stop to even hear him, and then laughed and got back to business. Later he came up to me on a different machine and much of the same. He noticed my silicone wedding band, I saw him see it. It didn’t stop him from commenting on my body. I was sort of in shocked and froze, I didn’t know how to respond so I didn’t. Mistake. Today he came up to me on a different machine and tried to correct my form, telling me if I did X my glutes would appreciate it. Again I had to stop my music and exercise to stare blankly at him.

Now I don’t even want to go! I don’t want to be rude because I have to go to the gym! I don’t want it to be weird, even though it’s weird. What would you say to this man? [/quote]

OP - just tell him "thank you, but I really need you to stop interrupting my workouts"[/quote]

I would skip the thank you.[/quote]
