You were not warned about this when you got your gym membership. Whether you go to the gym daily or occasionally, you're guaranteed to see these 8 types of people.
1. The Newbie
We've all seen this guy, most of us have even been him when we first started working out. Spaghetti arms and legs, using the machines wrong, curling in the squat rack. Someone should stop him before he hurts himself.
2. The Powerlifter
Standing at 6'4 and weighing in at around a solid 300, this more experienced gym member is there 24/7 lifting insane amounts of weight and grunting every step of the way. If you can't find a plate, he's probably using them all, all of them, at the same time.
3. The Old Guy
This guy has a better body than you, benches more than you, and has more energy than you. Also he's a grandpa, what are you doing with your life? Maybe you'll be like him at 70, you hope.
4. The Other Old Guy
This grandpa isn't so in shape. In fact, he's mostly a lump of flab trying to regain the last remnants of his motor skills after his stroke. Yet he somehow has the confidence to walk around the locker room completely, and I mean completely naked. Someone please get this guy a towel, for all of us.
5. The Parents
They've dropped off the kids off at school and now it's time to get in shape. Quiet and reserved, you might not even notice them there. But that's mainly because they've been on an elliptical for two hours.
6. The Kids
Mostly only seen during the summer when the parents haven't shipped them off to camp, these unruly things are doing everything humanly possible to disrupt everyone's workout. From the incessant screaming to playing soccer with the exercise balls, they won't stop. Where are their parents???
7. The Couple
"Come on babe, push it! You can do it!" They encourage each other in their matching workout gear as they do every exercise together. We get it you're in a relationship and incredibly happy. Now get a room while the rest of us try to become attractive enough to find ourselves a workout partner like you two did. Except we won't wear the matching shoes.
8. Average Joe's
Here's the category that most of us fall into. We know what we're doing, but we're not like bodybuilders or anything. We just want to be in shape, and not so, you know, average. As long as everyone has that attitude, your trips to the gym shouldn't be too bad. But you will see all of these people.
