The Gym is for Gains, Not Gossip!

Ever noticed how some people leave the gym without breaking a sweat—but with a list of weekend party plans?

Here’s the deal: The more friends you make at the gym, the fewer workouts you complete.

👉 First, it’s a quick chat before warm-up.

👉 Then, it’s “Let’s grab a protein shake!”

👉 Next thing you know, you’re at a weekend BBQ instead of your next workout.

I’ve learned this the hard way—the gym is for fitness, not friendships (at least not the kind that replaces your workouts with endless socializing). Discipline > Distractions.

So if you see me at the gym, a simple head nod = respect. A long conversation? Maybe after the last rep. What’s your take? Do friends help or distract you at the gym? Let’s hear it!
