The gym is one of my favorite people watching places. The gymgoers are so diverse in style, build and more. Here's a short list of the most frequent types of students I see almost daily.
1. The Meatheads
These guys are the next Hulk Hogans of the world. With their barely existent shirts and bulging muscles, these guys are pumping iron until their muscles have muscles.
2. Guys Who Check Themselves Out
These are your typical douchebags, looking for attention from the ladies. They're lifting a 15-pound weight, looking in the mirror and searching around to make sure one of the girls on an elliptical is staring at him.
3. Girls Who Check Themselves Out
Just like the guys in No. 2, these girls are all about the attention. You can find them in yoga pants doing squats in the front of the mirror for days.
4. Girls Who Are Actually Athletic
These girls are totally unafraid of wandering downstairs to where the lifters are and picking up some 40-pound bars with the guys. You go, girls!
5. People Who Workout for Two Minutes
They're dressed, motivated, totally look the part ... but they're not very well-suited for the gym.
6. Elliptical Girls
I hate to break it to ya, girls, but getting on the elliptical for 30 minutes a few times a week isn't the most useful thing you could do. Maybe try switching it up next time.
7. People Who Just Don't
