How many of you go to the gym? I have been a member of about 4 gyms over my lifetime. This past week, I joined a new gym closer to home. When you first go into any new place, you spend a few moments observing your surroundings. As I have written in the past, I like to watch people. There is one thing for sure, there are a few characters in every gym…
Here are the characters that I have seen in week one!
- Cellphone dude (or dudette) – they are on the cellphone talking the whole time.
- Poser – you know the one that poses in the mirrors.
- Social butterfly – talks to everyone. Even those wearing headphones.
- Too cool – wears his sunglasses to work out.
- Gym rat – there everyday for hours (and they have the muscles to prove it).
- Grunt-er – makes noise every time he lifts (no matter how much weight).
- Gym bunny – dressed to the nines, hair and make-up perfect.
- Starer – has to check everyone out. Just creepy!
These last two came from a friend of mine! I was lucky enough to observe them today!
- Squatter – sits on the piece of equipment you want to use, but frantically does half a set when he sees you looking at him like “let someone else use the equipment jerk!”
- Slammer – lifts too much weight, has drastically poor form, and SLAMS the weights so everyone can see how much weight he is lifting improperly.
Did we miss any?
Have a great Friday (and weekend)!
