On: “Arnold Schwarzenegger just posted this on Instagram”

Thanks for posting. I saw the mention from /u/SetYourGoals and wanted to share. The point isn't the machines or the exercises. The point is that you can create a workout for your goals anywhere. Even if you just use a chair for dips, a table for rows, and the floor for pushups.
To answer the question further, I enjoy working out in unfamiliar gyms, even though sometimes I would prefer to be at home doing t-bar rows. But I like shocking my system, so I look at the bright side.
And I am guessing you are wondering if it is possible to workout without being interrupted. It is, because generally in a gym people are very respectful and focused on themselves. Occasionally you see someone with their iPhone pointed at you, pretending to text even though the phone is at eye level. I always wonder why those people would rather take blurry shots of me than say hi while I'm resting, and possibly get a better photo with me once I've finished, as long as I have time.
But yes, short version, people are mostly good. And if you ever see me, say hi, but don't slow me down while I'm working. Tell me you're from reddit once I've finished my workout and I will take a photo with you.
UPDATE: this happened today, and since we were talking about how hotel gyms might be different for me, it was too funny not to share: http://imgur.com/a/HGW3h
