just like crossfit, it's the same with conventional gyms - there's good and bad. as a whole, the (UFC) gym i workout at on the weekends has a great vibe. most people have their headphones on or are locked into their own workouts. if you make eye contact you get a smile and a wassup nod. one enthusiastic guy on 10 scoops of jacked doing calisthenics between sets and fist bump when you get to the water fountain same time
got this one guy always wanna ask me "who fought this weekend?" even if there were no recent UFC fights. no douchebags at all. couple huge roided out prison guard types come in sometimes but they polite as hell
