6 Types Of People You See At The Gym

No matter if you have been to the gym 200 times or 2 times you can say that you have seen these individuals in your own gym experience.

6 Types Of People You See At The Gym
BarryBeePranks

When you are pumping iron or taking that two-mile jog on the treadmill you can look around and see that you are surrounded by a diverse group of people. We are all there for the same purpose, but you know that you are looking around and you see all types of people. Some of them may be as followed.

1."Those Girls"

While I am at the gym I have seen several different groups of girls stand at one machine that stretches their legs and as soon as they see a guy they will jump on it and push until they get the boys attention. They are doing this to just try to get some gym boy instead of actually going to the gym for its purpose. The gym is not a hookup site -- it is a place to better yourself.

2. Iron Gorillas

You would never see these giants on a treadmill. No way. They came to get swole and that's it. These huge guys can be seen over and over using free weights and only free weights. They are the type of guys that holler like primates when trying to get that last rep in just to show how masculine they are.

3. "Train like a beast, look like a beauty."

That's right; she looks stronger than you and she can lift ten times your weight. These are the girls that come to gym routinely to make sure they stay in shape for their sport. They are passionate about their workouts and keep a straight serious face the entire time. Don't let this fool you though because you know they are blasting Taylor Swifts latest hit in their ears while they are working out.

4. "I'm sexy and I know it."

They at least THINK they are sexy. I have literally seen a guy just walk around the gym showing himself off and he never even touched one weight the entire time. He just went around and flexed in front of girls. They have been told that they were hot their entire life so that blew up their head and now they really think they are hot so what better place to flash yourself off than a gym?

5. Granolas

The granolas are your yoga and cardio lovers. You can see them in a hot steamy classroom hitting the downward dog stance perfectly or meditating about all the different ways to save the earth. Granolas can sometimes be caught leaving an aerobics class every now and then as well, but don't expect to see them pumping any hard iron anytime soon.

6. Me

Finally, you have me. An average dude who is going to the gym for the right reason. To lead a better and healthier life. Sure I may not look like a greek god and on certain machines, my hands may quiver and shake. You may even think I look like I have no idea what I am doing and you are absolutely right because I have no idea what I am doing, but I do know that it is one step to me getting stronger.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
