I just say something like I&#39;m in a time crunch and don&#39;t have time to talk. I&#39;m only there to workout and leave. If they&#39;re  rude, I report them to the gym staff.

It also depends on the context of the situation. Just remember to speak up for yourself if it gets out of hand, maybe tell an official too.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Lisa A.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Smile and nod and say \u201cexcuse me, I\u2019m on a time crunch\u201d.  put your ear buds in and walk away.

I didn&#39;t react at that time but I was a little annoyed and skipped two days but then I realised I shouldn&#39;t let small things bother me and went on with the same routine the very next day and decided not to confront or anything but mind my own business. It worked for me and now I walk in excercise and walk out.

I would make small talk.<br \/>\n2. Tell them I have to get my workout done and that it was nice meeting them.<br \/>\n3. Smile and walk away.<br \/>\n4. If they continues and they are following you, Immediately go talk to the gym manager and let them know that this person&#39;s behavior.<br \/>\n5. Lastly, have Bluetooth hardphones on and if they try to talk to you just zone them out. You didn&#39;t hear a thing.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zoe W.
