Nights has to many skiny tank top warein sob's for me with air-lats a goin. Mornings, but lately I've been using my own gym. much better!

Mornings where I'm from consist of old folks dragging oxygen tanks from machine to machine reading news papers. Thank goodness they stay out of the free weight sections. Mid day is pretty quiet. Night time is mostly kids gettin their little pump on and acting like asses. It's full swing season here in Florida right now and it's like new years x 4 months. The best time is when they open. I like a quiet gym.

of course! Super early are regulars, generally decently healthy much more keep to yourself crowd. With some comraderie for being up so early....then mid morning yoou have the overweight moms, quick fix fall for every diet scam crowd, then you get the nooners, the old folks who have been active their whole lives but now they're retired and want somewhere to belong, that they feel obligated to go, much more social group of folks.... then your early afternoon we get some nice serious people, along with the leftovers from earlier, and trickle in from the evening crowd... but a lot try and get in and get out without a look or word to anyone, then theirs the evening, the fashion show, happy hour arrives and what a shit fest that is... head down, scowl and loud music makes working out at this time possible...come 8pm this crowd disappears and the ones who can't get out of work early that are more serious come again... along with some of the more overweight folk who are intimidated by the earlier judgemental crowd...then the overnight are the ones with odd schedules, generally fairly serious, and solo

smallville early morning people are generally the aerobic girls. noon crowd consists of about half a dozen of us that are just there to workout and go. the evening crowd is all the youngsters or non youngsters that need or want attention!

I fall into dangerouscurves 8pm crowd definition. I do notice people don't have the gym etiquette like the old days like putting away the weights correctly or giving a spot if someone needs one between a set.

Can't take evening crowds..sittin on a bench for 30 minutes textin, while you wait....using the squat rack AND a bench at the same time and getting mad when you tell them you're gonna jump in in between...whether they like it or not!! lol ...POSERS

I fall into the early afternoon crowd. I am in by 3:30 and gone by the time the 5-5:30 crowd gets there. I was running late last night and got caught up in the BS crowd and thought if I HAD to be here at this time I would kill someone.

I agree with so many of the comments LOL... DC kinda nailed it with her description and I match littleguys head down earbuds in comment completely. When I find myself in the .01% of my workouts "Ipod dead" I have the worst workouts ever. I can't listen to their shit and the crap music the gym has on, really cuts down on my ability to focus.

I don't have an option, it's nights for me b/c that's when the PLing team trains. I actually prefer the evenings b/c at my gym all the weekend warriors are gone and only the competitors come out to lift.

I like nights. That's when most of the people I know are there. There are 6 different guys I can train with on any given day and get a good work out. Then afterward there is always somebody with a funny story or something so there are a few laughs. There are clicks but I am friendly with most of them and we all bust balls so it makes training hard in the gym fun.

I think this atmosphere is important. It makes me look forward to going to the gym. The gym is sort of what you make it. it takes a good year to get to know your peeps but then it's 10 times as good.
