i always go running with her, but for the last few weeks she has been going to the gym with me. ever since then i have been noticing myself getting a lot stronger and i have more focus.
i think it has a lot to do with the ego being gone with her around.
there is a downside though, every female in the gym seems to gravitate themselves towards my mom. this is horrible for me. i have been spending 2 1/2 hours a day at the gym lately(it take me about 45 minutes to workout) because all these girls want to talk to my mom!!!!!
this ever happened to anyone else?

I think it's sweet you workout w/your mom!
I'd tell her how much you enjoy working out w/her but all the talking is keeping you at the gym longer than you'd like to be there.
She probably enjoys talking and doesn't want to be rude to others but you can just try to keep the workout moving along. Even if someone is talking to your mom, bring her the weights and say "10-15 reps, 3 sets." Or whatever. She'll do a set then start talking again maybe...give her about 1 min of that and say "OK next set." Keep her moving until your w/o is done.
Or you could drive there separately and workout separately, spotting each other occasionally if need be. If she wants to sit on a machine and drink coffee for 20 minutes talking to some other gal (like some chicks do at my gym) you can still do your workout and leave.
