If you are shy about working out with others, pick a time when it is not so busy and go then, when I had a membership in the city, I would like about 6a.m. and there would only be a few people then, I got to know them and they were very nice. Once I worked out I could then take my shower and get ready for work, stop and get me a coffee and a sasuage bisquit, be at work by 8:30 and already be busy when the store would open.
