People you meet at the gym - who are you?
Stolen from The Chive, (who pinched it from someone else :-)
* The talker - they engage in conversation at full volume with people even if they have their headphones on or are reading a book or magazine.
* The beauty queen - they come in full makeup & hair, dressed in neon tights or yoga pants. They walk on the treadmill at 1mph or use the elliptical and barely move it. They look like they didn't work out when they leave.
* The Moby **** - people who are obese who get in the pool and do water aerobics furiously like they are losing inches or weight.
* Creepy guy - wears a button down work shirt and denim shorts and watches guys & women while doing the thigh machines.
* The Sweat Hog - these people sweat by simply standing. They have to spray down the machines they walk by and not just the ones they use.
* The "Non-Voice" - these are usually middle-aged women who blast their iPods and then sing at the top of their lungs, as if they were on "The Voice". They are so loud that they drown-out the music pumped throughout gym's big-*kitten* speakers.
* The HAIRY GUY, who walks around NAKED in locker room for an hour....
* “The Parker" - Variation of the talker who does so while sitting on but not using the equipment and preventing anyone else from actually using it.
* Testiculus Dangelus - The usually older guy with no shame for his body and no use for a towel.
* The Seasonal - Gets gym membership for New Years resolution. Quits a month later.... Repeats.
* The Multi guy - works out on 2-3 items at the same time (benching, free weights, machine). Cuts in on your workout and is "annoyed" you interrupted his schedule.
* The Slammer - Dude has to drop the weights on the machine to let everyone know he is "pushing" it hard.
* The Curl Machine: The high school guy that comes in once a week to do bicep curls with horrible form.
* Equipment Man: The guy who brings in a massive armada of workout supplements, towels, straps, gloves, and bands in a huge bag and then looks as if he's never used them.
* The inverted triangle man: Works out so much on the upper body while neglecting the lower body. (Also know as the prison physique, all upper body. Wardens call them roosters)
* Blue-tooth Guy - The guy who is screaming into his blue-tooth the entire time he's working out. Everybody in the gym NEEDS to hear his very important conversations.
* The Personal Trainer: Offering to repeat last month's Men's Health articles to you for $70/hour, tells you that you'll be fat and pathetic the rest of your life without his help. (not all are like this )

Hahahahaha. This is excellent. I think I qualify for several of those. *hangs head in shame*0
-
It's nice not going to a gym anymore. There's too many people although my favorites were the old timer and hot one.0
-
WE are the couple...Yes, I drag my husband's *kitten* to the gym so he can spot my squats and bench presses and watch my deadlift form with me. While he's there, he gets his lift on, too.
*SMUG*0 -
I am the loud ****er. Except I am a 4'11" girl0
-
I'm a combination of the Sweat Monster, Marathon Freak and Old Timer. I don't talk to people in the gym.0
-
I'm definitely the sweater. But I can't help that!
I tend to go when it's not busy, so I avoid most of those. They left out the crazy, weird person, though. I always see at least one person who clearly doesn't know what he or she is doing, it slightly resembles a known exercise, but isn't quite right and the person is usually wearing something odd.
The one I see on Sunday mornings has a perma-Joker smile and I think very red lipstick.0 -
Well guess I am the Fat Strong Guy....0
-
This is hilarious! Mr. G is the fat strong guy... played football & rugby in college and still eats like he does... I am the middle aged woman lifting weights with the grunters and "thinks he's so cool balding mullet man".0
-
hmmm none of the above lol0
-
Hahaha. That's awesome. If I were to go to a gym, I guess I'd be the marathon runner. I'm always on my treadmill at home, it seems.0
-
Lol

Oooh. There was a guy at a gym I used to go to, I called him sweaty lawyer. His sweat was so bad it would spray off him. It was disgusting to be near him. I realize he couldn't control it, but he also didn't clean up after himself. Ew!0

lol.. I'm the sweat monster! ..lol...
edited to say that I work out for 2 hrs... that's why so sweaty!!..eek!!!..lol...0 -
New profile: Quiet middle-aged lady. Goes in and gets cardio done. Really likes to lift but resents all the big strong guys for hogging all the weight equipment. They move everything around and NEVER put the ***t back to how they found it.0
-
I wonder what people at the gym think of me.0
-
HAHA.. I use to be a mixture of some of those..:blushing:0
-
Of course, I'm gonna pick the horny knuckledragger, everything else is pretty negative....0
-
None of these yet, or maybe the complainer and definitely a mirror checker! In a years time I'll be the fit babe that everyone envies (and I'll just keep telling myself that!)0
-
closest would be annoying complainer But I meet with my trainer off-hours so there's nobody there to hear me complain but him. 0
-
The sweat monster, and I am 100% proud and OK with that. Lucky for everyone at my gym that I wipe down all my machines (what's with people thinking they don't sweat while using weight machines?)
I'm also the "biggest person in the group fitness studio who you are surprised to see doing the same workouts as you" which is why I sweat so much. Seriously, I swear no one at my gym is more than 'slightly overweight' :frown:0 -
We're The Couple :flowerforyou: but the only thing we do together is cardio, I also asks for his help with my weights sometimes0
-
I'm definitely "The Loud F*@#er"0
-
The marathoner... although I don't really stay on the treadmill for two hours, more like one and only when it's raining LOL.0
-
Glad to see I'm not the only sweat monster! And the marathon crazy! Yep - that's me! And I always blare my ipod. 0
-
Sweaty *kitten* for sure but it is well earned sweat and I dont feel bad about it at all. I also grunt sometimes. Not a lot, just towards the end of a heavy set. I never talk to anyone unless its to ask if they are using something I want to use.0
-
This was cute and funny.
I'm half marathon freak, the sweater, and the lazy idiot...
I definitely witness at least half of those descriptions at the gym before lol0 -
"* The Moby **** - people who are obese who get in the pool and do water aerobics furiously like they are losing inches or weight."
loooool that's probably me.
I love aqua aerobics and our instructors always yell at us to push ourselves. there is one person in one of my classes that says she likes working out next to me because I "motivate her" by her trying to keep up with me. though tbh, most people in the class don't even get their hair wet, so I'd rather look like a fool and get a good workout than go in for nothing.0 -
pretty sure I'm none of these.
I work out alone. I do my thing and leave. I don't make noise. I don't run marathons. I don't complain.0 -
LOL! I'm part of the couple 0
