Which is exactly why I have never wanted to be part of the social life in the gym. I've been going to the same place for the last 15 years after switching from place to place and I see the same people all the time and still we only nod in acknowledgement. As a natural extrovert, it's nice to have a place where I can shut down for awhile to be by myself. I'm in, do my thing, and I'm out.
