You can't go to the gym without seeing these people.

11 Gym Stereotypes You'll Definitely Run Into

No matter how often you work out, there are always people who are irritating in the gym, or just plain comedy acts. You just want to go to the gym to run, and get a little toned for spring break, but instead you have to deal with all these different types of people. You are doing squats only to be stopped by a “talker” and have them critique you even though you never asked them to. After that, you realize how self-conscious you are working out to the bodybuilder next to you who looks like the human version of The Hulk.

Here are 11 types you'll definitely come across in the gym.

1. The Selfie Takers

They hog the mirror so that they can take pictures of themselves flexing, or they have their friends take videos of them getting their “gainz.”

2. Talkers

They are either standing by a machine telling one another their life stories or constantly making you take out a headphone to listen to their advice on form.

3. The Grunters

They turn heads throughout the whole gym, and sound like they are in child birth. It's rather annoying.

4. That One Person Who Shows Up In The Matching Outfit, But Has No Clue What They Are Doing

I wore all Nike everything, so is it time to do weights now?

5. ARMS, ARMS, And More ARMS

Those people who have legs that look like twigs, and they could possibly snap if they did one squat. Yeah, we get it, you skip leg day.

6. Cardio Freaks

They only run on the treadmill, and they can do it for hours. Basically, you’re in awe of these people.

7. Bodybuilders

The people who are so massive you can do nothing but stare. You know that they are not on steroids, but you are too scared to ask anyway.

8. The People Who Do Short Workouts

They come in do a few sets, and as soon as you turn your back they are gone.

9. That One Person Who Listens To Music Through A Speaker

DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT be this person. The worst thing is when someone brings a speaker into the gym with them and plays music over it. Nothing is more frustrating than being able to hear someone else’s music over your own.

10. Supplement Guru

They walk in drinking a bottle, only to make another one before the workout, then they make another during, and to no surprise make another one after they work out. We are NOT impressed.

11. Holiday Gym Goer

We all know at least one person who does this. Go to work out a week or two before a big trip or holiday in hopes that their family members will not notice that they have put on a couple pounds.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
