If you are someone who enjoys people watching, you should make your way to the nearest gym and sign up. There are all kinds of interesting folk to watch, hear, and meet if you are ever so lucky. Most people go to workout and get toned for the summer, you know, actually workout in a timely manner without bothering others. If you go on a consistent basis you will begin to see the following people:
1. The Gym Babe
There is always at least one girl in the gym with a pound of face make-up, perfect hair, and she's walking on the treadmill at an inconceivable rate of 1.2 mph. Good job, we are all proud of the progress you've made from last week at 1 mph.
2. The Gym Rat
The guy who has made the gym his personal home. They never seem to leave, and you will begin to consider if they have a life outside. Take a break man.
3. The Slob
This person will leave equipment everywhere -- including heavy weights on machines you want to use. No one wants to break their back, so if you can pick it up, then you can put it back.
4. The Texter
Someone or something is more important to them than the gym, which is why they can never seem to put the phone down.
5. The Creepy Dude
Often caught checking women out at the gym and occasionally hit on them in hopes they might get a win. This is never a good idea and is not well received well.
6. The Equipment Hog
This person is very special, they like to take up as many machines and space as possible. In fact, they won't even be using certain equipment but will use the space to do another exercise.
7. The Chatty Kathy
It's your worst nightmare when you have forgotten your headphones. Chatty Kathy's will go on and on about everything and anything loud enough for the whole gym to hear.
8. The Newbie
If you see someone using any equipment the wrong way you have two options: you can help them out or sit back and laugh. Labels and instructions exist for a reason.
9. The Grunter
You can hear this guy from a mile away, and he is either too much in his world to realize people think he is dying or he is extremely extra wanting some attention.
10. That One Sweaty Guy
There seems to be at least one guy who is sweating so much they could create their own lap pool. Maybe grab them a towel, they probably cannot see through the sweat.
11. The Instagramer
Is the point of going to the gym to take mirror selfies or to workout? Do they not own a mirror at home? Or perhaps could it be they have missed their reflection?
12. And of course, Groupies
The group of individuals who waltz into the gym and conquer the entire place embodying the worst gym habits.
There will be one who is on their phone, someone photographing the occasion, machine hogging between the group, and someone who has never stepped foot in a gym. There will however, be one person who is actually there to work out, and the rest are there to create havoc.
