The gym is the only place where I know 20 faces and zero names. We’re all just regulars in each other’s silent workout club.

But don't you have names for these people in your head, like I always do? - Perfect hair guy - Perfect abs guy - Sings-along guy - Video recording lady

If I ever ran into a fellow gym member outside the gym I wouldn't even know how to address that person.

The gym is one of the safest places humans can gather without feeling any fear of the other 50 or 100 people around you. How many times have you seen or heard of a fight breaking out in a gym. My gym has pretty much all races and genders and everyone there has a purpose. And that purpose isn't to attack another fellow being but to improve your own health and everybody gets it. They just get it!

Rule #1 about silent workout club is you DO NOT talk about silent workout club. Rule #2 - no names.

Nothing bonds two people faster than silently fighting for the same cable machine.

People underestimate that community. The gym helps my mental health and gives me relationships that turn into clients.

I have nicknames in my mind for all the regulars based on their quirks. Its a fun game

What, you don't give them mental nicknames? Then live in fear that you may accidentally call one of them by that nickname?

I hate when one of them decides to greet me, and then I have to do it every time I see them. Now I have like 7 people whose names I don’t know, but I still have to say hi and shake hands 😂

And get concerned when you don’t see one of them as often.

I know everyone's name, it's a gift and a curse.
