do you eat before a workout, or after? do you have a routine you follow before going (i always get a cup of coffee and drink it on the way to the gym), or do you just go to the gym whenever/however?
do you listen to your own music, or the gym's music?
are there people at the gym you have become friends with? people you've never talked to but know by sight and give the head nod to? people you see and don't like? ever pick up a chick/dude at the gym?
i want to know about your gym experiences, what it means to you, what you think about when you are there, all that stuff. free form, tell me whatever you can, whatever you want to. i really want to know.

How often do I go to the gym? 5-6 days a week. 3 days of lifting and 2-3 days of cardio. I like to go in the morning but my work schedule has me going in the evenings right now.
I always eat before working out, not right before though. If not I feel sick afterwards. I also have a cup of coffee or a protein shake afterward.
I listen to my ipod at the gym.
As far as the people are concerned, I know a lot of the employees and trainers and a couple of people that I've spent time talking to. I'd like to get a job training there so I've made a point to introduce myself to most of the trainers. I've been hit on at the gym many times but never gotten a date there.
When you go to the gym as often as I do, it becomes a lifestyle thing. People who go on occasion tend to be less serious about it but for me it's a part of the rest of my life (all of which involves being healthy and active). I'm currently getting my education so that I can work as a part time trainer. Going to the gym and working hard keeps my energy levels up, my libido going and keeps me in shape for the rest of my life (I lead an active life.).
