The 5 Types of People At The Gym

The meatheads:

Everyone knows exactly who I'm talking about. The ones who wear cut offs so deep their pecs are literally out of the shirt. The ones who spend more time flexing in the mirror than they do on the treadmill. The ones who carry around the gallon of water as if they can't take time away from the mirror to refill a smaller one. They live off of supplements, and protein powder, and thrive on making sure every one of their Instagram followers knows they are lifting again. We all know these people.

The trendsetters:

As I call them, the "walkers". These people don't even bother to put their hair up. They can't be seen outside of their house without their "face" on, and make everyone else look like they have the plague. These are the people who wear their brand new pair of Lulu Lemon leggings paired with the cutest tank top all with a matching sports bra, and the cleanest pair of Nike Free Runs. They normally walk briskly for an hour, hog the stair master, and then head out because if they stay any longer they might sweat.

The people who get er' doneThese people look like they just rolled out of bed without brushing their teeth, hair, or even putting deodorant on, and hit the gym. Often seen in running shorts and a t-shirt they got at a fundraiser. Their hair is pulled back so tight, their eyebrows get pulled up with it, and are always seen with a headband. The people who seem like they run forever, do a few crunches, and head out. These people seem as if they suffer from Hyper-Hidrosis because they never stop sweating.

The suburban parent:

These people mean business. They show up with a well-planned agenda and probably have a fitness blog. They work out so hard, there is no time to stop for water or conversation. They have a separate pair of shoes for running versus cycling and stop midway through to eat a banana. These are the soy protein users and always replenish with a post-workout shake. They're not trying to bulk, just trying to maintain their 6 pack after having 4 kids.

The social butterflies:

The people who walk around the gym with no real agenda. They think they are friends with everyone, but really, everyone else just wants to get their workout done and go home. They spend 30 minutes prior to taking their coat off reading the newspaper, then head into the locker room to change into their whitest New Balance 624's. Often seen doing bicep curls, while watching what the other guys are doing, then trying to do that as well. On first name basis with the gym attendant, and every other member, really. Drinks Gatorade post-workout.

Summer Slump

Summer is a time for fun in the sun, hanging out with friends, and living it up, but for some people, that's not the case. Summer is a nightmare for idle minds. Let me explain what I mean by that. For people with mental illness having the extra time to think and relax can be devastating for their mental health. Now, this isn't a problem for everyone but for some people who suffer from mental illness, this is a reality.

The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) reported that about 35.7% of 12th graders in the U.S. had used marijuana in the past year, and 11.8% reported daily use.
