Gym Nicknames
Anyone else give people they see in the gym nicknames? I go at the same time every day so usually I see the same people, I'm there do do my workout and leave so I never actually talk to these people but they all have names in my mind. If you do what are some of the names you have given out?
Here are a few of mine:
Reaper Runner- This man has got to be at least 160 years old, and uses the elliptical, I don't know how the machine stays on he moves so slow, but high 5 to the old man trying to cheat death.
Lunge Ladies - Two ladies that do nothing but lunges through out my entire workout.
Grimace & Hamburgler - Grimace wears purple every day, and Hamburgler actually stopped coming with her but she did wear black and white
Latin Lover - this guy is in good shape but i've never seen him do anything except talk to the ladies, he does swap weights for them sometimes
Fat Cuz & BB Gunz - These are two guys that do 25lb bench presses in the smith machine. BB Gunz always wears sleeveless shirts and has arms like my 10 year old nephew.
The Kid - this guy is about 18 and seems to put in hard work every day.
Incline Girl - she sets the treadmill to 15% and seems to hold on for her life, it's kinda scary.
Brah Squad- about 6 bros that like to take ever dumbbell and barbell and say they are "using" them.
Mega Butt - I rarely see her but it always brightens my day when she shows up.
Squat Princess and her boyfriend- she is awesome, 100lbs tops and squats like a strongman.

I'm my gyms air drum girl. No one EVER runs next to me.0 -
I know I have air drummed and guitared on the treadmill, lol. I just rock out so hard when I work out I can't help it
Tom Sawyer is one of my running songs so I'm drumming, and Cult of Personality so i'm playin the guitar.0 -
Go Girl - This lady does cardio with her headphones on and moves every part of her body!! I'd love to know how many calories she burns!
Pervy - I never see him working out but he is always "training" the lady clientele. BTW...he is not an employee.
TV Boy - I only see him there on late Sunday afternoons. I am convinced that he comes to the gym because his wife does not let him watch golf on TV. He stands in front of whatever TV has golf on and never moves.0 -

Even *I* air drum to Tom Sawyer!0 -
I'm guilty.
Theres John Travolta, the guy who manages to dance on the treadmill when it's on max incline & full speed!
The Butt, the woman who's about my age but you can bounce pennys off her butt it's so firm. Totally envious.
And there's the Eggwhisk. Who looks like an egg beater on full when he runs. And I'm married to him!:blushing: :laugh: :laugh:
And the Texting Brahs. They spend their whole time staring at their damn phones & blocking all the equipment.:grumble:
And then there's The Greak God. And yup he is a dreamboat. He's one of the trainers who doubles as a male model. Far far too distracting for me.0 -

I would totally run next to you. That's awesome.
One day, I shall pull out the leg guitar, and he and I will have an epic collaboration.0 -
I don't have nicknames for people at the gym, my gym is so big that the people change everyday.
It is also a women's gym. I guess the common ones are:
Elliptical Ladies: young and or old but they stay on the freakin' elliptical for like an hour. (20 min. limit on all machines)
WTF are you doing here Ladies: Mostly on the stationary bikes, but in all honestly i think they just go to watch the tv.
That is pretty much it, I don't really look at other people when I work out.0 -
Perfect Yoga guy.
Perfect form, could hold the position for ever. I never pay attention to the teacher, just perfect yoga man.0 -

Zumba Barbie - The gal that has to do her hair and makeup perfectly for Zumba (and has actually run out of my class to go adjust one or the other since I was making her sweat too hard.
The Crop Duster - The person who farts in class....0 -
I do:
Cutie McWorkout Wrong - She's this cute blond girl, probably (very) early 20's who does every single exercise wrong and super fast. It's like she sped-read a weight lifting magazine, came up with a bunch of stuff and said "Yup. This is my workout!" When she does weighted side bends she's fast; captains chair? My god I think she's going to go flying off with the way she swings her legs. It's kinda funny.
Prissy McPerfect - She's another cute blond who's hair is all done up, make up on, clothing perfect when she comes to workout
B!tchy McPussface - She works the front desk at the gym and she looks like a complete and total beeeotch. She would see my husband and I come in every day. See us talk to the other workers, hell she even ran on the treadmill next to me once yet she proceeded to ask us our names and for my husbands membership card and then made me sign in in case there's an accident. Um. Ok.
Annoying Talker - This woman who all she does is talk talk talk talk talk! I want to tell her that if she can carry on a conversation that easily then she isn't working out hard enough.0 -
Boobs- Total babe that never broke a sweat on the recumbant. Wish I knew how she got that rockin body.
Phil- Guy in my spinning class that is a dead ringer for Phil from Modern Family
Unibomber- Guy who does cardio with his hoodie pulled tight over his head
Tube Top- lady who always works out in a tube top, so weird to me but I guess it works for her
Annoying Old Dude- He's the annoying old dude
Rockstar- The guy who probably started at around 350 lbs, worked his *kitten* off and lost a ton of weight.0 -
We have biscuit.
She is a short woman in her 50s who insists on wearing spandex leggings that are too short (causing muffin top), bikini cut underwear that are too small and lower than the pants (causing muffin muff), a sports bra that is meant for a preteen (causing muffin back boobs, muffin under band and extra boob lumps) With a spandex top the same color as the bottom that is too tight to hide it all. It is a bright blue. Just like a can of pillsbury biscuits that you just whacked on the counter.0 -
I don't give names, but you guys sure made me laugh!0

This thread is hilarious! The only ones I can think of that I've given out:
The Exaggerator: This woman in Zumba who CAN'T just march in place or cumbia..EVERY motion has to be insanely exaggerated. She even runs in place during the cool down. She makes me roll my eyes.
The Trooper: This woman in Zumba who has 2 left feet and can't seem to dance on beat correctly, even though we do a lot of the same songs and I'm pretty sure she's been going as long as I have.
Jazz Hands: This guy in Zumba who I'm pretty sure used to be a Broadway dancer. He can get his legs up higher than anyone I've ever seen.
The Stripper: This woman in Zumba who makes every move look R-rated. Another one that makes me roll my eyes. I bump into her upstairs on the machines too, not just in classes. She also stretches like she's preparing for a ..show. haha. ew.
Everyone at my gym calls the girls who only do cardio classes (they offer 40 different ones) Cardio Bunnies. I am a guilty Cardio Bunny but I'm trying to find some kind of strength training to implement.0 -
Lolz @ OP's nicknames.
The ones at my gym are:
Keith Sweat - There are actually two of these, one young black guy that leaves puddles of sweat under every machine he uses, usually the arc trainer, and then the older white guy that uses the stair stepper until he's a gallon beyond dehydrated.
The Snorkler - Haven't seen this guy in a while, but he used to wear a swimming mask and a snorkle whilst using the stationary bicycle. ?
Running Man - Guy that is ALWAYS on the treadmill... no matter what time I go, he's always there. I stayed for over 3 hours one day just waiting to see if he'd leave - he never did. Also, he stops and starts but leaves the treadmill going. Like, he'll run for a few minutes, then just stand with his feet on the sides of the treadmill for a minute or so, then back to running.
Flashdance - older lady with crazy hair in a scrunchie that wears sports bra and bicycle shorts, with an oversized off the shoulder sweatshirt and scrunched down white socks and white tennis shoes. She seriously cracks me up.
T.I.T. - An old personal abbreviation for Tucked In Tee - an old man that always wears basketball shorts and has his t-shirt tucked in. He's usually there every time I go to the gym and stays throughout the time I'm there. I think he and running man are there all day every day.0 -
THIS SERIOUSLY MADE ME SPEW MY DRINK OUT OF MY MOUTH.We have biscuit.

I haven't really done this at the gym I work out now which is inside my work. I work in IT so my schedule changes and then my gym hours change too. There is one guy that I run into every once in awhile that I think of as baby face. He is super cute most likely at least 5 years younger than me but just cute as can be. One day I might go up to him just to tell him that he is too cute and leave it at that.0

LMAO.....Jenn....i think you have a McDonalds obsession. All of your nicknames except one include "Mc"0 -
what a fantastic post, haha classic.
in my gym we got
Frat Boy - guy that walks around, chest puffed, and total ILS (imaginary lat syndrome for those of you that don't know), and wears nothing but Delta Chi shirts
Old Lady Cray - an elderly gal who ONLY comes in on saturday, and does ONE set on EVERY machine, never putting any weight on. Much like Reaper Runner, I commend her efforts, and I can't get mad at her for throwing me off my groove.
The Ab Fat Targeter - A woman who I am now acquainted with that comes to the gym religiously to walk on the track, and do this weird resisted crunch machine, then the elliptical.
And that's it for now...0 -
The crossfit box I attend it is:
Hottie #1
Hottie #2
Hottie #3
and so on.
Oaccaisonlally, there is also: New Girl, soon to be Hottie #?0 -

LOL! How could I forget Zumba Barbie!! There's one chick that HAS to take an hour to get ready for freakin' Zumba..white eyeshadow, lipgloss, super mascara...All I can think of when I see her is "really?!?!" I hadn't thought of a nickname for her yet but Zumba Barbie is perfect. lawlz0 -
I forgot "Shower Stalker".
This woman apparently has a love affair with the 2nd shower stall. One morning I used that shower apparently preventing her from using that one. Now, every morning she keeps a very careful eye on me. When I start heading to the locker room, she hops off of whatever machine she was on (usually the bike) and runs to the locker room, turns on the water in shower #2 and then goes back to her locker to get he shower stuff out.
I should probably just tell her that after my initial usage of shower #2, I will not use it again, I think it is the worst shower in there. I don't like the water pressure.0 -
Tom Sawyer is one of my running songs so I'm drumming, and Cult of Personality so i'm playin the guitar.
Even *I* air drum to Tom Sawyer!
Who doesn't?0
