Not a big deal get over it ^^

you did the right thing. stay away from the pink weights and don't let the gorillas intimidate you

the only difference was on the tv 'the view' was playing and there were big comfy couches in the women's weight room. stay with the boys

so were they laughing or calling u a perv

This would have been a more interesting FML if the genders were reversed. Imagine a guy going into the womens weight room and being intimidated by the weights the women were lifting. Or the weights he wanted were opposite the leg splitter machine and he's trying not to stare at the crotch shots.

The real reason for weight-room segregation is pretty obvious to me: Ballsweat.

Errr, it's not gender segregation... there's the main room which the men use because they don't have a "mens only" room, and then there's a women's room for dainty stupid women who find it too scary to work out amongst men. Actually the only good thing about the women's room is that hardly anyone is ever in it since women are usually on the cardio equipment or in spinning class, so it's quiet and you have free reign over any machine. DOWNSIDE is that they have a piddly assortment of free weights, and all the machines suck ass. My trainer admitted to me they put the old, out of date and broken down equipment in the women's room. yeah, it showed. But there was a sweet wall-mounted TV in there.

If it's any consolation OP, I once went to the gym and was assigned a locker between two massive weightlifters. When I went to change into my work clothes after my shower, I realised I had accidentally packed a pair of my girlfriends' knickers in my gym bag, not my own boxers. I had a choice between going commando, putting the sweaty workout pair back on, or slipping on lacy black undies while standing between about 500 lbs of muscle.

op. Don't be too embarrassed..you got to see sexy men working out ;D I'd be happy in that situation xD

yet you wonder why people say women are stupid. sheesh.
