9 Of The Weirdest People You'll See At The Gym

When you go to the gym, odds are you'll probably run into at least a few of these types of people. From the Grunter to the Sunglasses-Wearer, you know you're in for some good people-watching when you decide to head to the gym.

1. The Showoff.

This person will walk up to a machine, set it to the highest weight they can possibly manage, do two reps, and then move on to the next machine. The Showoff may also be a Grunter. Showoffs at the gym really want everyone to know how tough they are.

2. The Texter.

I can understand occasionally changing the song you're listening to, or timing yourself for something, but some people sit on their phones for the entire time they're at the gym.

3. The Sunglasses Wearer.

Ah, the elusive Sunglasses Wearer. These people are so cool that they wear sunglasses inside. It must help them with their workout or something.

4. The Mirror Selfie Taker.

How will people know you went to the gym unless you take a mirror selfie? To take a mirror selfie in the gym when there are tons of people around to witness it seems both embarrassing and unnecessary. Don't be "that guy."

5. The Grunter.

The Grunter, similar to the Showoff, really wants people to notice how hard they're
working — weightlifting, using machines, doing crunches, you name it.

6. The Magical Unicorn Who Never Sweats.

I just don't understand how someone could be this lucky. Some people can put in a great workout and barely look like they've done anything. Don't trust them. They're obviously hiding something.

7. The Gym Creep.

This person's only goal is to stare at everyone and make them as uncomfortable as possible. Most gym creeps don't even try to hide it; they're there to stare, and they don't care if you notice.

8. The sweaty person who doesn't wipe off machines after using them.


These people leave visible sweat residue on machines they're done with and just walk away, expecting someone else to wipe them off.

9. And then there's you...

As long as you make sure not to make the same mistakes as any of these other types of gym-goers, odds are you probably won't embarrass yourself...unless you fall off the treadmill.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
