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.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
