Gym Nicknames

None of mine seem as interesting as the nicknames everyone else has got, but...

"140 guy" - Before my bf and I knew his name, we referred to him by the amount that he was overhead pressing! (this is in KG - 308lbs)

"Mr T" - Because he looks like Mr T.

"Smiley" - I don't know his name, but he's ALWAYS got a big smile on his face. I couldn't imagine him sad.

The 'how old are you' girl- She's at least 16, and I've seen her go around to tons of other women, including me, asking how old they are, and then she's like 'WOW. THAT'S SO OLD/YOUNG, WHY ARE YOU IN THE GYM? YOU'RE TOO YOUNG/OLD'.

OMG I can't quite believe that! How rude!! I would've complained about her long ago

Unemployed
Housewife
Student
Staff

<--- Student. I go at random hours and the same people are always there, one can only assume.

I swear they probably have me nicknamed as the sweatiest girl, plus maybe "rat's nest" as my hair gets crazy frizzy when I sweat a lot...and all the baby hairs on top of my forehead stick up in all directions lol

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

Haha, I'll have to remember that term. I've seen a few guys with Imaginary Lat Syndrome!

From the various gyms I've gone to over the years:

"Flappy the Wonder Chicken": from the women's gym I attended 8-9 years ago. This gal, in her mid twenties, came in with the matching "cute girl" tracksuit and full makeup and hair done up. She would always show up in the weight room with a couple magazines, and would place them on the floor at each machine she went to. I'd watch her do seated rows, lat pulls, leg curls, etc with not even bad form, but NO form (hell, she didn't even bother to fully sit down while doing lat pulls), doing them really fast and recklessly, all while craning her neck to look down at the floor to read her magazine (and occasionally flipping the page).

"Lassie": This guy always lifted too much, and each time he braced himself (and I'm sure he held his breath as he tried to power through the excess weight), he let out loud yelps like a medium-sized dog. My trainer and I would quietly make fun of him. It was really, really hard not to bust out laughing. He was there almost all the time, too.

"The Fly Swatter": I always saw this guy on a treadmill, not going very fast, and he was always flailing his arms around, doing windmill motions one arm at a time, sometimes both at a time, and sometime spinning one forward and the other backward. He would also flick his hand back and up above his shoulder, etc. He looked like he was swatting flies.

"Sex Sounds": I think we all know this one, and it always seems to come from the guys. A lot of the guys in the weight room let out grunts and other sounds when they lift, but this is the guy who sounds like he's auditioning to play the bottom in a gay porn movie.

"The Mountain Climber": Usually a woman. This character, and I'm sure others have seen a version of her, cranks the incline on the treadmill waaaaaaay up, then hangs on for dear life as she leans far back while walking. If she were to let go, she would immediately fall on her back. Umm, ladies... the incline only works if you can hold your body vertical while doing it!

I don't have much of a nickname for this one, my trainer would always mutter "here comes grandma..." when she'd come in, but there was always this older woman who would come in, dressed in fitted black workout gear, with dyed black hair put up in a ratty up-do, harshly drawn on black eyebrows, eyeliner, pink lipliner and pink lipstick that all looked like it was applied in the dark. She was painfully thin, always looked miserable and lacked a smile, and looked like she had not aged well, for whatever age she was. She always did cardio and very light weight machine work. Always, always looked the same, as level of fitness and workout getup goes.


As for me, I suspect that I was "The Farter" for at least some time, even if only to my trainer. Hey, he'd throw me on the incline leg press at heavy weights a lot, right after I spent all day sitting in an office job. Sitting that long does things to your digestive system. I had a lot pent up. I was also doing 8 rep sets with a combined weight (plates + base) of 478 lbs. I had legs stronger than any of the guys in the gym (I sometimes attracted an audience, even). Hell, if I had an incline press available now, I'd probably be up to that strength again.

yes

This information is motivation enough to keep going to the gym, I just joined on Monday. It will be like an eye-spy at the gym for me, thank you all for giving me the dirt on all that I might encounter.

I will be looking for the Zumba Crew tonight, however somebody told our town you have to wear a coin embellished wrap around your waist to do it correctly.

May I so humbly add one to the list

CO guy - the correctional officer/law officer who is Somewhat creepy and has shady eyes since he is always casing the joint. Oh, and my guy is wearing a beanie when it is 110 degrees outside.

My name.... Newbie.... Red in the face, only used the treadmill and wears regular clothes.... No frills ..... Just trying to blend in so I don't look like a fool

I'm totally the one dancing on the treadmill and mouthing the songs i'm rocking out to while running and not realizing it until
1. I notice people watching
2. I lose my balance and almost trip hahaha

Which is why I'm swimming now because I have a sprained ankle

I am "Godzilla" - I'm one of the tallest members of the powerlifting group, and by far the heaviest and biggest (54" chest and 52" waist, with 30" legs).

Which was more that just funny to me, because little did they know that I collect the old Godzilla movies and have a few of the big action figures just waiting for my son to be old enough to play with!

Onion Vagina, because she smells like she washes her crotch with an onion.

Since my gym is in my home, and i very closely know everyone who works out in there, i don't really have any nicknames. Except the nickname for the gym itself, which is "The Sweatshop"

And yet another one....

The Protein Shakers...the bulged out muscle-heads who have to drink their weight gainer/protein shake after lifting...they go to the drinking fountain, add water to the powder and shake, shake, shake loudly for 5-10 minutes before drinking.
