My general rule is that I don’t want to bother women if they are working out, so unless they talk to me first or give me a very clear sign that they want to talk, I leave them alone and just focus on my workout.

Not if headphones are in. I was in a class years ago and this really attractive tattooed chick clearly waited at the door to chat. She was 10x better than me so I didn’t want to speak to her outta shame. I still think about it. She said something and I went “you were really good” then she said “oh so we’re you I thought you did great and kept me pushing” 😭

Nope. I say good morning to the front desk person since it’s usually the same one or two people there, but that’s it. I’m not at the gym to chitchat.

When I used to go to a more specialized gym, everyone would socialize to some degree.

Yesterday was my first appraisal. I was welcomed and told that I am not eligible for promotion. But then again it was acknowledged that the work that I do is great. The offered me a hike of 21% after 1year 2 months of work experience. I was initially hired at 6 lpa. I did not rebut and accepted it. What are the things I could have asked? Should I have negotiated more? What are the things that I can focus on in the next appraisal cycle? Want to know the thoughts of the experienced professionals.

If you guys have an Apple Watch and used to go to HITT classes and strength classes at the gym, Apple fitness plus ain’t that bad. Good for rowing and treadmill too. Definitely recommend it if you prefer to workout at home or at your apartment gym.

Went to the gym after over a year today. Have been procrastinating since the last time I went - had pulled a muscle and decided to take a break, and the break turned into a year-long hiatus. Turns out, I like the pain. Hoping to lose all my stubborn belly fat by the end of the year! One day at a time, as they say.
