9 Types of People You Will See at the Gym

[cupidkisses]

1. The noobs

2. The helpers

They like helping others but you may regret asking for help later.

3. Chicks

4. The beefs

It will never be enough for them. They will always work for more. They are obsessed with having muscles.

5. Personal trainers

Some of them even doesn't work out. They are there just to tell you what to do.

6. The ones who skip leg day

Everyday is upper body day for them.

7. The talented ones

They will do anything to show that they are talented.

8. Flirty types

They will be like "Shall we hang out after gym?"

9. Selfie lovers

No, the mirror is not to take pictures, it is to check yourself while working out.

[Notorisch_Arschloch]

Forgot a few:

Dedicated: We start between 0100 and 0300 and GTFO before 0500 because we don't have time for any of these people and their dumb shit.

Unsolicited gym advice guy: Yeah, no, I TOTALLY respect your telling me how to use this machine. I mean, I was only a personal trainer and professional martial arts instructor, and this workout was designed specifically for me by my orthopedic surgeon and chiropractor, and I was trained to do it with a physical therapist. Please. Tell me more about what YOU know about what I'm doing wrong.

#CrushingIt people: 80 pounds overweight, 1.5 mph on the treadmill long enough to selfie it and alert all social media outlets, then rewards self with a post "workout" shake of 500 calories that only a pro level powerlifter has any business consuming, and a "rare" treat of McDonald's because they "earned" it, tee-hee!

Social club whores: Yoga pants and sports bras, don't sweat a drop, there to bitch that the men who do talk to you are creepers, because they're not the "right" men, and the ones whose attention you're trying to get ignore you because they're there to fucking lift

Crossfags: Box jumping on benches, taking up half the gym with battle roping, taking up multiple squat racks for their "circuits" or "WODs" or wtf ever. Go back to your "box" bitches.

I could go on. And on.

Thank you!

😂😂😂😂
Interesting

What about the guy that comes in and just talks for 2 hours while doing random heavy sets of bench press hHaha

Or the one that always looks like he's breaking the biggest sweat ever but 10 months later still looks the same lol

[EnglishArtsteacher]

"Or the one that always looks like he's breaking the biggest sweat ever but 10 months later still looks the same lol"

Yes! There is a guy at my local Planet Fitness gym who has been going there almost every day for two years now, and even though he sweats, and looks worn out, his physique hasn't changed at all! Maybe he's getting stronger, but he's not losing any fat lol.

[TripleAce]

@EnglishArtsteacher HAHAH lol
Yea, it's usually the diet that's not on point

[Mzhyde19]

You forgot the people in hoodies who are just there to hog the ping pong tables lol. That'd be me.

[Anonymous]

hahahah this mytake is funny. Yeah these are so common in gym.

[Anonymous]

For 5 Iv noticed 1 or 2 quite small gym staff in different gyms and 1 woman who didn't look super in shape not fat though just on the healthy side of normal but must have decent stamina.
And i remember an unnecessary induction i had to have that was with their smallest member of staff (I guess for some insurance purposes) where not to brag but i could comfortably out lift him on all the exercises he was "showing me".
Generally though the personal trainers and gym staff are pretty fit although i think the big ones often get work as security staff though i guess thats largely evenings for clubs and events so they could do both.

[Sephora_Addict]

Hahahahaa 😂😂😂😂 i got a great laugh out of this! And most of it if not all is TRUE. The gym is my second home and I usually always see everything you listed daily! I am the talented one sometimes when I'm bored with my workout but I don't do it for attention.

[EnglishArtsteacher]

I've noticed all of these, but number eight seems to be exclusively male. The only people I know who try to pick up someone for a girlfriend/boyfriend are straight males lol.

[AlwaysBelieving]

The only one I think that I "qualify" for is #7. Nothing (I think) that is trying to show off, just helps me stretch / get a weird knot out.

[cupidkisses]

really? can you do it? how do you keep your balance?

[AlwaysBelieving]

Not so much that (sorry for the misrepresentation). More of stretching with my lower legs on the ground (feet through needs) and making my head tough the ground (picture your back doing an extreme curve). Closest to that, I did was / is a push-up with the ball.

[cupidkisses]

Ohh I see! :)

[FusionGuy]

Haha i havn't seen 5, 8 and 9 here. But definitely experienced and seen the rest lol.
The chicks are great for getting in that extra rep motivation xD

[lyannamormont]

I dont fit in anywhere. But maybe Noob category.. Even though I go to gym regularly since 6 years.

[Muglintar]

No comment on "the chicks"? Making sure everybody gets to see "more" than during a lap dance?

[rushthesand]

BS and clearly written by a dumb guy. I don't look like any of those girls lol

[WhereAmI]

I always wondered what would happen to some people if they took all the mirrors down for the day. I never really bother looking much since I go in, do my work out and GTFO.

[ChocoLada]

Yup, the helpers, and selfie lovers are the most annoying :P

[Anonymous]

Do people really pay this much attention to others? This makes me worried about joining a gym now

[cupidkisses]

Ohh no that's just to put a smile on people's face while reading.

[JustCallMeLeon]

Ahahaha i couldnt agree more. I can totally see myself as "the beef" and my girl as "the chick". Funny take. Upvoted!

[JayLiche]

this worries me
i thought everyone was to be invisible to you at the gym
i didn't know that people payed you so much attention that they could put you into a category

[Mr-Kabuki]

trust me been going to them gym for couple years and this article is just a joke. no ones pays attention to anyone, unless that person is insecure themselves.

[cupidkisses]

@Mr-Kabuki yeah

[MrMysteryMan]

You forgot the intensity buffs.

[WaterRat]

Leg day. That's a good one.

[Iraqveteran666]

People working out after work

[John_Doesnt]

Is it wrong I go there without boxers on?

[cupidkisses]

What do you wear then?

[John_Doesnt]

Track pants: so people can see my "Gift from the Lord". Every lady knows comedic timing and a large package trump a hot body any day.

[PunkinPie]

NOOOOOOOBBBB.

[Chico_brah]

Lol truth.

[Secretgardenblood]

That's good
