If you are in the gym working out, and you are not sure if people are saying things behind your back, do you ignore them or ask?

When I am in the gym working out, I honestly do not care about what others are doing as long as they are not in my way and disrupting my routine.

When I am in the gym and working out, I am doing so with a specific purpose and socializing is not the purpose.

If I'm not going to see them at Nationals, it doesn't matter and if I am going to seem them there as a competitor, I will talk to them then.

ignore them and continue your work out

Yes ignore.

At the gym, you are in your own world. You are there to work out, to buff yourself. The contents of other peoples brains and mouths do not matter.

Just keep doing your thing.

Ignore. Even if they were and u ask they might deny it. Why would they be honest lol
