11 Gym Stereotypes You'll Definitely Run Into

You can't go to the gym without seeing these people.

11 Gym Stereotypes You'll Definitely Run Into

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.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
