1 - I go to get in shape/stay in shape - really enjoy the break from a regular day and some time by myself.
2 - schedule changes and travel will keep me out of there. Going to the gym is now a lifestyle for me so if I miss a day it isn't the end of the world. I do hate to miss a day when I am in a good routine though.
3 - I talk to some people there, made some friendships, but not at all why I go. I like to get to business.
4 - I'd say about 50/50 guys and girls.
There are actually quite a few ladies who will work out pretty hard with the regular free weights. There are a couple of competative bodybuilders and some that compete in "shape shows(?)." They train others who want to get in good shape and they hang out in the freeweights area. It is a big open floorplan too, so there aren't really "sections" so that may make them feel a little more comfortable.
