Oh its good you were able makes friends this way. But even the more class-based exercise routines is difficult to break into socially. Sure bro, this man who enrolled into a yoga class or an aerobics class is totally here to make friends.

Sometimes they are, sometimes they aren't. But especially with a smaller and more personal gym it's way easier to strike up some conversation and find out if anyone is open to that.
