I actually was in my gym today and thought about you. I wanted to keep track of who I see and what's the interaction.

I said "hello" to the front desk guy and swiped my card. He said "have a good workout".

After that I had headphones on and I was not in any proximity to anyone who works there the entire duration of my time there. I did see two membership people but they sat at their desks and I was no where near them. Then I did see my husband's personal trainer from a far. I say hello when I am close by as he knows I am the wife, but he was on the other side of the gym. I didn't see any other workers at all and no one was close by me and it's a big busy gym.

You must be in a different type of gym. I don't know what's the deal is.
