rec center
The first place that I began to observe was at the rec IM, I went to the weight room about the same time that I usually go to workout and as I was excersicing, I began to observe how people behave while lifting weights. Its kind of funny to see peoples reactions to certain things, for example if a pretty girl were to wonder in to the weights part of the workout center there would be a sudden serge of people who begin to lift weights, just to try and show off. We all do it but when one is acting that way you generally don't think about what you are doing.
Another thing that I have noticed is the lax atmoshpere, by this I mean it doesn't matter how much or how little one can lift everyone is respectfull to each other. There seems to be a certain sense of admiration for simply trying to improve upon ones self. At the same time however, its kind of easy to spot new people because they seem to be a little clueless as to where everything is, and they usually don't speak to anyone. Another thing thats always interesting is the side conversations, most of which I wont repeat however they are generally pretty funny to listen to. Next time I will go at a different time so that I can observe the changes in the people that go to workout.
