For all of the years I've been going to the gym, I've encountered a variety of different people. Here is a list of people I think we have all encountered at the gym once in our lives.

1. The Overachiever

The overachiever thinks they are all that and a bag of chips. They attempt to run the fastest and lift the most in order to outdo everyone else.

2. The Grunter

We get it, you lift. The grunter is constantly making noises regardless of how much weight they are lifting.

3. The Newbie

The newbie hasn't been to the gym in a while, and they seem to have forgotten how to use the machines.

4. The Oldie, but the goodie

These are the really old people that will make any twenty-year-old look out of shape.

5. The Beauty Queen

This is the girl at the gym who has all of her makeup done and her hair is in a neat ponytail. She is expecting to meet the love of her life at the gym, so she has to look perfect. But why waste all that makeup to just sweat it off?

6. The Student

These are the types of people who bring textbooks and novels to the gym. The are attempting to kill two birds with one stone, by studying for that biology test while still getting their workout done. I don't know how they do it.

7. Chatty Cathy

The Chatty Cathy will not stop talking, regardless of all the glares they are getting. It seems that all of their friends and family are at the gym, and no matter how loud your music is you can still hear them.

8. The Forgetful One

This person somehow forgot that they were going to the gym, because they are exercising in jeans or khakis or a winter coat. I mean isn't that uncomfortable?

9. The Wandering Eyes

So you're on the treadmill or the elliptical and the person next to you is constantly looking at how fast you're going or what incline your machine is set to. You move faster, they move faster.
