I haven't had horribly weird experiences yet (knock on wood) because I haven't moved from the machines to the mostly male free weights section of my gym, which is LA Fitness. I've gone to a few La Fitness's around my area and they all seem to be the same: places for hotter people to show off and not do much working out. It fits my budget perfectly though and I like the hours, so I'll just have to deal.
ANYWAY, the only issues I've had have been creepy guys bugging me while I'm working out. I try to put on my "bitch face" when I walk into the gym so no one bothers me, but it doesn't work all the time. There's always some creepy guy there who seems to go just to pick up young chicks. One time, at another gym (the Y, I think), it got so bad that I had to have security walk me out to my car.
I'm sure once I work out a bit more I'll be able to kick some butt....but I'll have to wait on that. )
