The gym. It's great for people-watching, socializing, and sometimes even exercising! Sometimes you just can't help but gaze at people and wonder what is going through their heads. So many distractions at the gym. The gym definitely has its cliques. It has the jocks, the class clowns and the nerds. So, let's go over the types of people you can pinpoint at the gym the next time you decide to work out:
1. The Gallon Holders
Oh that guy is holding a gallon of water bottle, he must really care about his fitness, right? No, no, no. The gallon holders are those guys who walk around carrying their water like it's their child. Honestly, they look like tools. Just get a less heavy water bottle and fill it up a couple of times. Also, you should not even be drinking a gallon of water unless you are nearly 300 pounds. I am sure some of you are 256 pounds, but like a lot of you aren't. So, please don't drown.
2. The Luscious-Locked Girls
I am sorry, but I can't take you seriously if you are working out with your hair down. How do you not sweat like a beast? How do you work out and be okay with having your hair down? I get drenched in dripping sweat when I have my hair up! If you need an elastic or something, just ask. I am sure someone who has their hair up will have an extra one on their wrist.
3. The Lululemon Divas
Yes, Lululemon is a great brand. It is actually one of my favorite stores. But, you have to make Lululemon look good by actually working out in the apparel. The Lululemon Divas are those who go to the gym just to look good. Look good, feel good, am I right? Well, in order to feel good, you actually have to work a little, and maybe even break a sweat!
4. The Pacers
This one is pretty self-explanatory. These are the people who walk around the gym trying to figure out what they want to do. At least they are getting their steps in for the day. Poor, indecisive people.
5. The Mirror Hogs
Yes, those people who can't stop staring at themselves in the mirror. They must need reassurance that they exist.
6. The Equipment Hoarders
They just won't get off the equipment and let someone else have a turn. We get it, you can lift weights for a long time, but there are other people too.
7. Poor Technique Trolls
We all know some people who just have terrible form while working out. For example, this woman pictured above is not supposed to have the handle of the ergometer pulled up to her neck. She is also not supposed to have that much of a layback. So, before you use equipment, just make sure you know how to. Using equipment the wrong way will work the wrong muscles, and it can actually injure you.
8. The Socialites
Just some people who exercise their mouths more than their bodies. They are always talking to someone. They go to the gym just to talk, be social and say they went to the gym.
9. The Snapchatter
Then there are those who like to take selfies and send snapchats to their friends, letting them know they hit the gym. Nice one, Demi Lovato.
10. The Scholar
I really respect the people who can work out and focus on reading a book. Very good multitasking. Honestly, I don't know how you do it. Working the mind and the body.
11. The Normal One
Then there are the normal ones. The ones who do their thing and silently make fun of the abnormal ones.
So, next time you are in the gym, pay close attention to those around you. I am sure you'll be able to pinpoint at least a couple of people like this.
