9 Of The Weirdest People You'll See At The Gym

How will people know you went to the gym unless you take a mirror selfie?

9 Of The Weirdest People You'll See At The Gym

When you go to the gym, odds are you'll probably run into at least a few of these types of people. From the Grunter to the Sunglasses-Wearer, you know you're in for some good people-watching when you decide to head to the gym.

1. The Showoff.

This person will walk up to a machine, set it to the highest weight they can possibly manage, do two reps, and then move on to the next machine. The Showoff may also be a Grunter. Showoffs at the gym really want everyone to know how tough they are.

2. The Texter.

I can understand occasionally changing the song you're listening to, or timing yourself for something, but some people sit on their phones for the entire time they're at the gym.

3. The Sunglasses Wearer.

Ah, the elusive Sunglasses Wearer. These people are so cool that they wear sunglasses inside. It must help them with their workout or something.

4. The Mirror Selfie Taker.

How will people know you went to the gym unless you take a mirror selfie? To take a mirror selfie in the gym when there are tons of people around to witness it seems both embarrassing and unnecessary. Don't be "that guy."

5. The Grunter.

The Grunter, similar to the Showoff, really wants people to notice how hard they're
working — weightlifting, using machines, doing crunches, you name it.

6. The Magical Unicorn Who Never Sweats.

I just don't understand how someone could be this lucky. Some people can put in a great workout and barely look like they've done anything. Don't trust them. They're obviously hiding something.

7. The Gym Creep.

This person's only goal is to stare at everyone and make them as uncomfortable as possible. Most gym creeps don't even try to hide it; they're there to stare, and they don't care if you notice.

8. The sweaty person who doesn't wipe off machines after using them.


These people leave visible sweat residue on machines they're done with and just walk away, expecting someone else to wipe them off.

9. And then there's you...

As long as you make sure not to make the same mistakes as any of these other types of gym-goers, odds are you probably won't embarrass yourself...unless you fall off the treadmill.

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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
