talking to others at a gym
I joined a gym at new year with a friend an we were going twice a week be he is becoming les interested with every visit and I found my self alone the other night.
Now while I quite enjoy the experience of the gym I found two hours of silence broken only by the sound of machines rather boring and feel the may lead to my giving up :(
There were lots of other people but they seemed content with the silence. So I was wondering is there rules about how to talk to others at the gym.
I mean I don't want to interrupt anyone else's workout but id like to strike up a conversation is possible.

Everyone is different, but typically people go to the gym to work out, so - starting a conversation with someone while they are working out probably isn't a good approach. You may want to 'initiate' a conversation with people after their workout or if you gym has group workout sessions (zumba for example or spinning classes) there...once again either just prior or post the workout. I would suggest getting a music player of some sort to keep yourself entertained during your workout.....
I have found a great conversation starter (and way to make friends at the gym) is asking someone for a spot or offering to give someone else a spot.
