The 12 Annoying People You Will Run Into At The Gym

Who said the gym was actually for working out?

The 12 Annoying People You Will Run Into At The Gym

If you are someone who enjoys people watching, you should make your way to the nearest gym and sign up. There are all kinds of interesting folk to watch, hear, and meet if you are ever so lucky. Most people go to workout and get toned for the summer, you know, actually workout in a timely manner without bothering others. If you go on a consistent basis you will begin to see the following people:

1. The Gym Babe

There is always at least one girl in the gym with a pound of face make-up, perfect hair, and she's walking on the treadmill at an inconceivable rate of 1.2 mph. Good job, we are all proud of the progress you've made from last week at 1 mph.

2. The Gym Rat

The guy who has made the gym his personal home. They never seem to leave, and you will begin to consider if they have a life outside. Take a break man.

3. The Slob

This person will leave equipment everywhere -- including heavy weights on machines you want to use. No one wants to break their back, so if you can pick it up, then you can put it back.

4. The Texter

Someone or something is more important to them than the gym, which is why they can never seem to put the phone down.

5. The Creepy Dude

Often caught checking women out at the gym and occasionally hit on them in hopes they might get a win. This is never a good idea and is not well received well.

6. The Equipment Hog

This person is very special, they like to take up as many machines and space as possible. In fact, they won't even be using certain equipment but will use the space to do another exercise.

7. The Chatty Kathy

It's your worst nightmare when you have forgotten your headphones. Chatty Kathy's will go on and on about everything and anything loud enough for the whole gym to hear.

8. The Newbie

If you see someone using any equipment the wrong way you have two options: you can help them out or sit back and laugh. Labels and instructions exist for a reason.

9. The Grunter

You can hear this guy from a mile away, and he is either too much in his world to realize people think he is dying or he is extremely extra wanting some attention.

10. That One Sweaty Guy

There seems to be at least one guy who is sweating so much they could create their own lap pool. Maybe grab them a towel, they probably cannot see through the sweat.

11. The Instagramer

Is the point of going to the gym to take mirror selfies or to workout? Do they not own a mirror at home? Or perhaps could it be they have missed their reflection?

12. And of course, Groupies

The group of individuals who waltz into the gym and conquer the entire place embodying the worst gym habits.

There will be one who is on their phone, someone photographing the occasion, machine hogging between the group, and someone who has never stepped foot in a gym. There will however, be one person who is actually there to work out, and the rest are there to create havoc.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
