16 Different People You Will Find At The Gym

The year has finally come to an end and everybody is planning their new year. In the next 365 days, people will have given up soda, chips, meat, candy, In-N-Out, cheese, beans, etc. However, in the next 3 months only 90% of those who made a New Year’s Resolution will stick their daily gym routines. But what about those who go almost 365 days of the year?

I decided to come up with a list of different kinds of people you can find at the gym. Here’s 13 types of people you can find at your gym.

  1. The Refrigerator: These are the people that are literally the size of a refrigerator. They are so strong, that every time they deadlift. However, even though they are one of the strongest people at the gym, they will never show off to anybody.
  2. The Washing Machine: Like the refrigerator, they are amongst the top 1% of the strongest at the gym, however, they tend to have a bad ego. You can hear them coming from a mile away, and they always have to say hi to 45 people before they start working out.
  3. The Assassin’s Creed: This is the person (usually guys) that wear black leggings, black shoes, long sleeve, black hoodie, and is usually staring at the ground. They come in, do what they have to do, and leave without taking their hoodie off. Nobody ever knows who they are.
  4. The Dicktionary: Although they have definition all over their body, they are dicks to everybody. No matter who you are, they will always be flexing in front of the mirror, or showing off their bodies to everybody else.
  5. The Naked Juice: These are the people who are usually 90% naked and never get kicked out of the gym for it.
  6. The Friendly Person: They will use the treadmill next to you, say "hi" to you, and tell you their whole life story.
  7. Mr. & Ms. Accessory: These are the people that will bring a belt, two water bottles, a sweater, a pair of shoes, their cell phones, a bag, a different shirt, wrist bands, a banana, etc. They will bring their whole house to the gym.
  8. The Surpriser: This is the person who is thinner than everybody at the gym but can bench more than most of the strongest people at the gym. Most of the time, these people go 3 times a week.
  9. The Hogger: They will take the bench press, squat rack, a machine, an extra bench, 3 sets of dumbbells, and an EZ bar at the same time.
  10. Ninja Warrior: The name says it all.
  11. Niagara Falls Inaugurator: This is the person that leaves sweat all over the benches without wiping it off.
  12. The Puzzle Breaker: This is probably 80% of the gym…You will have these people leaving their weights everywhere without re-racking them back to where they belong.
  13. The Kangaroo: Does upper body, skips leg day. I know some people are unable to work out their lower body for some medical reason, but those who can and decide to skip it, that’s who I’m talking about. Nothing wrong with that, but then you always hear them complaining about their lower body.
  14. Role Model: The humblest people at the gym that will usually let you work in between sets with them.
  15. Mr. WWE: They will slam any weight on to the ground, even if it’s a 2lb weight.
  16. Everybody Else.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
