I've never been able to reach a point where weight training is anything but boring and painful. The trouble is it requires mental focus, and I cannot think about other things while lifting.
I try to mitigate the boredom by watching a movie while doing it.
I listen to headphones, music, podcasts, ebooks. I find it a very stimulating time and I feel better about it at a gym, even though I don't socialize much.
Just seeing the same people every day makes me feel like a community member and helps me stay motivated and connected.
