No matter how often you work out, there are always people who are irritating in the gym, or just plain comedy acts. You just want to go to the gym to run, and get a little toned for spring break, but instead you have to deal with all these different types of people. You are doing squats only to be stopped by a “talker” and have them critique you even though you never asked them to. After that, you realize how self-conscious you are working out to the bodybuilder next to you who looks like the human version of The Hulk.
Here are 11 types you'll definitely come across in the gym.
1. The Selfie Takers
They hog the mirror so that they can take pictures of themselves flexing, or they have their friends take videos of them getting their “gainz.”
2. Talkers
They are either standing by a machine telling one another their life stories or constantly making you take out a headphone to listen to their advice on form.
3. The Grunters
They turn heads throughout the whole gym, and sound like they are in child birth. It's rather annoying.
4. That One Person Who Shows Up In The Matching Outfit, But Has No Clue What They Are Doing
I wore all Nike everything, so is it time to do weights now?
5. ARMS, ARMS, And More ARMS
Those people who have legs that look like twigs, and they could possibly snap if they did one squat. Yeah, we get it, you skip leg day.
6. Cardio Freaks
They only run on the treadmill, and they can do it for hours. Basically, you’re in awe of these people.
7. Bodybuilders
The people who are so massive you can do nothing but stare. You know that they are not on steroids, but you are too scared to ask anyway.
8. The People Who Do Short Workouts
They come in do a few sets, and as soon as you turn your back they are gone.
9. That One Person Who Listens To Music Through A Speaker
DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT be this person. The worst thing is when someone brings a speaker into the gym with them and plays music over it. Nothing is more frustrating than being able to hear someone else’s music over your own.
10. Supplement Guru
They walk in drinking a bottle, only to make another one before the workout, then they make another during, and to no surprise make another one after they work out. We are NOT impressed.
11. Holiday Gym Goer
We all know at least one person who does this. Go to work out a week or two before a big trip or holiday in hopes that their family members will not notice that they have put on a couple pounds.
