That used to be the case 10+ years ago, I recall the gym use to be much more of a social place but every person has headphones in these days and picks up their smartphone between sets. It's really weird to me because I stopped going to a commercial gym around 2007 and started up again around 2012 and the entire landscape changed. I'm not a chatty person at the gym but I do find it interesting how different it is now.
Yeah, that's a good point. I've made tons of friends/acquaintances through the years in different cities in gyms and myself starting going regularly in like '06. But yeah most everyone now either has their head down in their phones between sets or has headphones on the whole time. I still talk and make friends with older regulars a lot but not younger people.
