At your gym...

...do you have nicknames for the other gymgoers?

My husband and I do. Since we don't know their real names, this is how we identify them to each other. Here's a sampling:

12%- A lifter in his 40-50's (hard to tell through the tan) that we overheard telling someone else his body fat was 12%. More likely to be 20%.
Flared Lat's- Self explanatory.
Baseball Player- He just looks like a baseball player.
Leprechaun- He's short, has red hair and always wears green.
Strong Adam- He looks like a stronger version of our friend that's named Adam.
Crossfitter- We don't really know if she does crossfit but she moans and grunts like they do in the videos. She also poses, straddles her husband's back on a bench, and lots of pda's with him while they're there. Reading through this, I think we should change her nickname to porn star.

We fully realize we're being judgmental and that we're going to hell. We're ok with that. We also have nicknames for the neighbors we don't talk to. Anyone else joining us in a warm afterlife?

    Meathead. But there are only a couple of those. The rest are pretty cool.

    Juiceheads, Cavemen, Twigs, and Barbie. (A blonde haired, pale skinned girl who constantly looks dumbfounded.) My friends and I are clearly nice people :glasses:

    My husband and I will be there as well. Well, my husband is Agnostic so we're not sure if he'll be able to make it.

    Our gym is right around the corner from a big student housing complex...so our gym is frequently full of what I call " herds of pony-tails". They're probably nice kids individually, but in herds, they have the intelligence and manners of pond scum. The ones that really bug me are the ones who come in wearing very expensive workout gear, and a full face of makeup, and their hair just so, and spend most of their time looking around to see who is there. God, was I ever that young and clueless?

    A few...

    "Ana" - the scary skinny girl doing 90 minutes on the elliptical next to me. I'm hoping she's recovering....

    "Bandana " - the Asian? chick with flaming red hair down to her butt, wearing a green bandana. i've never been there when she HASN'T been there. She lifts VERY heavy.

    I always noticed the guys who had the HUGE upper bodies and no lower body at all! They would be doing bench, more bench and then bench and then cardio. I would think.. go do some squats !!

    I called them Launchpad Mcquacks and I am guessing 2nd poster - Hockey Butt is your husband cause the pics are so similar :o)

    Totally agree on the squats! And yes, that's my husband. Although hockey butt is a neighbor. :-)
