[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is a members club. It is normal to talk to other members.

OP, if you want to be reclusive run on a treadmill at your house.[/quote]

I guess I missed the memo that paying a pricy athletic club membership means you have to answer random intrusive (or oddly competitive?) questions from randoms every time you enter the facilities. I would think the more expensive the athletic club, the more uncouth it is to prod random members. I pay the fees for the amenities, cleanliness and privacy — not new friends. I am not an introvert, I just don’t really want to be chatty while working out.[/quote]

DP here.  Then stay home.  You are amongst civilization, not in a bubble. You sound awful. [/quote]

I'm not the PP but it's an awkward question. There are much better ice breakers than asking people how fast they run or how much they are lifting. It's not good gym etiquette.[/quote]

Yeah, I love to chat at the gym, but I am such a slow runner that this question would embarrass me! I'd probably stammer and say something stupid. [/quote]
