The Creatures Of Gym Life, Common Sense

[AlexPSU]

In our journey of life we run across many characters. Business men & women, Volvo driving soccer moms, sluts, pranksters, criminals. Much like a well developed television series or a movie everyone has something that makes them an individual, something that sets them apart from the pack.

It's no different in the gyms we train at.

I thought I'd take a few minutes to describe some of the characters that train at my gym, some of the characters that entertain me (they don't know about it, though!). Before I get started I just wanted to note that none of these descriptions are meant to be insulting, I only insult those who don't have the tenacity to enter a gym.

The first character is one that I like to call Rainbow Randolph. (I got the name from Robin Williams' character in Death to Smootchy) He's a man who appears to be in his mid-forties, and who I'm sure has a slight mental disposition. He dresses in spandex shorts and a spandex tank top, his favorite outfit is all stripes, similar to the Gay Pride flag. He may also have tourette's syndrome as random phrases have been heard coming from his mouth, and he especially likes to scream "dirty rabbit" from the shower stall. He's not in especially great shape (most likely from lack of diet and cardio) but he still makes it to the gym daily.

The next guy is one that I fear and respect, "the old psycho". He comes to the gym by himself, lifts heavy, and scares the **** out of female members. He's in his fifties for sure, doesn't talk to anyone, does classic power lifting... and stares at the women in between sets... (my kinda guy!) The only problem I have is the fact that by looking at this guy, you'd never know that he's performing 700 pound deadlifts and 600 pound squats on a weekly basis. My favorite thing about this guy is his between set "psych out" routine, where is slaps his own ass and makes noises like he's a horse. It kind of reminds me of Ronnie Coleman's tape where he's screaming "light weight" before a thousand pound deadlift attempt.

The next character is one I like to call "legs" -- because he NEVER TRAINS HIS LEGS. This bastard has an upper body that I'd kill to have (***** genetics) and the guy could honestly compete on at least an amatuer level. I somehow have the feeling that this guy's eating some androgens because he doesn't lift very heavily and he's got a huge back, a ripped chest and very proportionally huge arms. I honestly think that one of these days I'm gonna get the guy to spot me doing squats and get the bastard to do them himself... I'll force this guy into using common sense.

Then we've got the bench crew. As you all may know, I get very angered when mother****ers ask how much my max bench is, and judge my training on that alone. To be honest with you, I've been experiencing rotator cuff pain, and haven't been barbell benching lately, so I'm especially sensitive to the topic... anyway, these guys are in the gym at least every other day (sometimes every day!) and they're benching! That's all they do! There's about five of them... and I just want these guys to see the damage of overtraining!

The fifth character is Mr. Mrs. Stretch. When I get the chance to train in the morning, it kills me to see this guy. You see, my gym has a "stretching class" every day at 6:30 AM. The class is filled with middle-age, overweight housewives... and this guy! He's a 25 year old man, who needs to get away from this class! First, this class' purpose is to serve as a warm-up to training... even the housewives know that. But this guys takes this 25 minute class, showers, and leaves! I'm sure this is the same guy who goes to McDonalds for lunch with his co-workers, orders two Big Macs and a 40 ounce Coke and asks everyone while he's not losing any fat. People like this kill me... Note to people like this: If your instructor is an overweight women, it's a good sign that it's time to re-evaluate whether that class is right for you.

Of course, this is a small minority of people at my gym, and the majority is smart in their training and nutrition.

When choosing a gym, you should always pick one out where the people training are bigger and stronger than you are. You'll feel more competetive, and want to keep up with the guys there.

Common sense is the key to exceeding your goals, use it wisely.

[GOONER]

i know what you mean about these characters, theres a few like them in my gym, one guy who also never trains legs but has a great upper body and thats all he concerntrates on,

and also this gay guy who wears spandex and stands in front of the mirrors and does tons of stretches bending right over in the worlds smallest shorts.

and then theres these middle aged woman who all wear huge baggy t-shirts to hide thier weight and they just do a half arsed 20 minute walk on the treadmill

then theres these really hot gym chicks who wear skin thight clothes, tinny tope cutt off at the mid-drift then blatently do it to get attention and then they get annoyed when all the guys are perving over them.

[Ev1]

The guy thats always screaming at the top of his lungs when lifting heavy amounts of weight with veins seeming to pop out in all the weirdest places.

The woman in her early thirties that wears a "SWAT" sweat shirt even on the hottest days in the gym and tries to be a cop

The guy that has his earphones on, lifts damn heavy on each thing he does and then goes back to the bike and makes really funny swinging arm motions as he pedals.

The old skinny chinese skinny guy in his forties that comes in regular clothes, does some really hilarious looking "stretching" and "cardio" and then lifts some 10 pound weights as power lifting.

The guy that smells bad.

The brothers with the crazy tattoos.

The guy that breaks machines.

The girl who's ass and nice round titties I always look at whenever shes there... :D:D:D

[justin_in_IL]

lol.. this reminds me of some of the guys in my gym...

The ILS crew (Imaginary lat syndrome) .. they walk around like they are holding basketballs under their arms.

That old guy that wears the tank top and yells on every rep... he cracks me up. If i didnt wear headphones I probably couldnt lift when he is around.

They extra cool guy. He wears sunglasses while hes working out... dunno.

Of course.. The bench press crew.. yup.. there is one in every gym.

The hot chick.. oh yeah.. the old chick that things shes hot.. yup.. her too...

LEGS.. i think that nails half the people in my gym...

[Larry Kreeger]

We have a guy that does 1/4 reps with huge weights and thinks he's super strong. He also uses his whole body when doing curls but uses big weights :)

We have a trainer that has these women doing these really weird exercises. For example he has them take 2lb in each hand and hold it directly overhead while they squat maybe 6 inches for 10 reps. They never increase the weight or the range of motion.

Of course we have the teenage boys who go at random from one machine to another.

[Ricky]

I like this black guy that wears headphones and sings soulful R+B while he's on the machine doing cardio.

Every once in a while he will just start singing really loud. Which is funny because our gym doesn't play music.

BTW, I love the fact our gym is quiet. Because you don't have to hear that lame pop station that every place plays.

[kj2833]

I see no mention of "cable stretch armstrong" anywhere.

Our gay stretching guy spends ten minutes on each leg machine (mostly catching his breath from all that stretching) after his stretching bouts. one time my buddy wanted to use one of the machines so three of us snuck up behind him and formed a line. When he looked back he didnt know what in the world was going on. He stays on the cardio machines now.

[Skinny&Weak]

I once judged people by thier looks, this guy at my gym, spends half of his life there, almost everyday 6 hours. Bit of a phyco type, and its really quiet at the gym, I always thought he was unejucated meat loaf, but when I finally talked to the guy he turned up to be the nicest buy in the gym. I mean nice in decent way, not gay or anything. He gave me pointers, tips and we just chat about everyday stuff time to time. So I think before we misjudge people, entirely on thier looks or what they do, you should talk to them.

[Fletch]

Let's not forget the couples that come in and train together where the guy is huge and his girl is small and he's pretending to train her as if she was him.

My wife and I train together and even I know and understand that she trains for different goals than me. :rolleyes:

the former pro wrestlers are fun to lift with because they are full of energy despite their form being incredibly sloppy.

The woman that spends 20 minutes on leg extension and resting on it between her sets of NO WEIGHT!!! :angry:

The 4 high school kids that gather around the barbell bench every Mon/Wed/Fri.

The entire gym that trains chest/bis on Monday from 5pm-6:30pm while I'm training legs. :)

My personal favorite character to loathe is the out of shape mid-30s aerobics instructor. I'm sorry but your image and setting a proper example is a job requirement imo.

- Fletch

[Azer]

Bah i have friends who are "the bench crew." I started working out very early in the morning so I would stop being bothered by them. I personally hate the bench press...yeah i said hate. I still do it, and supposidly alot of people like it, but i just cant stand it. I like dumbells more for my chest.


"The entire gym that trains chest/bis on Monday from 5pm-6:30pm while I'm training legs." - out of maybe 35-40 people in my gym today i was only one doing legs, got the squat rack without waiting and leg press and all leg machines.

How about the guy that does tricep extensions by letting the handles fly up above his head every rep and using his body to full it down.

[Q-dogg]

I live in Asheville NC, a really weired mixing pot of odd people. The gyms here have some strange people, people that I would love to tell people on these chats, but fear you want believe me. But this thread is perfect...........
I get all the gym gossip because I run a supplement shop in town. So here it is............

This one guy, who is dumber than a brick, has many tells. A few of the gym rats took advantage of how nieve and dumb he is and told him that birth control pill are highly anabolic, it was a joke. He took it serious, and in his quest to be the biggest and baddest, took six a day. Long story short, he grew breast and his test levels where so low that it took 6 month of weekly Dr visits to get him straight.
In another story, in his quest to be the biggest and baddest, he invited another gym rat to eat some post workout nutrition at KFC. The work is that this guy purchases and all you can eat buffet. Long story short, he damanded his money back when he ate all the chicken in the buffet and was told it would be 40minutes until some more was available.

Yes, this same guy somehow get into clubs on teen night ( he is like 30) and wears the all too fashionalbe spandex tank top and baggy lifting sweat bottoms. His pickup line is; "my legs are so big I cant buy regular jeans," well....if you call that a pickup line.

I have too many to tell, you people really would not believe some of the **** I hear.

LMAO....if you can or want, post some more.

[aZiAN257]

This sh!t cracks me up guys!

C'mon, more stories !! :)

[BlueBoyJocks]

Ain't that so REAL?!! Besides those mentioned above, at my gym I also always spot a guy who always talks on his cell phone for at least 15-20 minutes between reps, a mid-age woman who dress-up like "Jennifer Beals-what a feeling" like with bandana and the same hair do....LOL.... and some guys who always "watch" me and when I look back they turn their heads away.... yikes!! Also this guy with nice build body who always has his bling-bling necklace on, guys in the middle age with beer belly hanging down doing bench press and dumbell for his biceps which already "big" but saggy.... rather than doing some cardio and watch their diet.... Mr.Show Off who knows he has a nice body and acts like a celebrity and feels everyone wants to ask for his signature...hahaha...dream on.... Do you guys have those types too at your gym?

[Q-dogg]

I will call this guys "Old School WWF," he tans, or uses some type of artifical tanner and has a beautiful orange glow, orange I say. He must be tan everywhere, except for the area around his eyes.....even his shaved head. He may appear to be your normal 40 something gym goer.....except when he trains he does nothing except isolation exercise. Boy does he look like the ****, expecially when he has on spandex tights that are so short I would be scared to put on as my cock would surely hang out the bottom. He has a black pair and a hot pink pair. His upper torso is covered in what appears to be a tight spandex muslce t-thirt, aka a brace for his gut, which is double wraped with a lifting belt. His suit really looks like a college wrestling suit, except it is a two piece deal. He even has a stylish earing daggling in his ear lobe. He even has the raspy wrestler's voice, though the only thing I think he can say is "How ya do'n" as he holds eye contact a little too long..........is he gay? I put 10$ on it!

I will think of more latter!

[slick_nick]

Niiiice thread.
Here's some more from my experiene of London gyms:

NOISY LIFTERS - the kind that throw around their weights/plates in the hope to draw attention to the fact that they can lift large. Failing that, they'll just spout a load of cod philosophy to one of their bemused friends.

CHATTERERS - these guys have the perfect bodies but all they seem to do is stand around gossiping, begging the question, how the hell did they get so big?! They will only go during peak gym periods as well.

SCRAWNSTERS - no matter how often these guys go to the gym, rest assured, they never get bigger.

BLOATERS - guys with high body fat that never do cardio, content instead to just lift weights and get even bigger.

THE OLD WOMAN WITH ONE LEG - well, perhaps this is just my gym...

[natinder24]

lol

[Orzza]

The nicknames in this thread are cracking me up. I'm getting a teardrop forming in my eye brah :D

[titomuheedo]

"The Creeper"
That guy that is ALWAYS in the locker room, just sitting there, reading a newspaper.

"The Gorillas"
Either one or a team of serious lifters who like to lift heavy as **** and let everyone know about it. When getting ready for heavy lifts they have their partner slap them a few times and yell. Or they just do it themselves. - I fall into this.

"That Guy"
That guy that always happens to catch your eye. Mainly because you're always the target of his.

I'll post more when I'm done eating.

[titomuheedo]

"The crossers"
Usually 2 or more crossfitters. They occupy the power/squat rack by doing cleans'n'jerks/powercleans and are commonly seen doing strange exercises with the excuse of becoming more fit. Also are usually the most talkative/social people in the gym, seem to be friends with everyone.

[Austere]

Strong 7 YEAR bump.

[ThePinsir]

[jbball92]

"The Phaggot", this guy always comes into the gym in Sperry topsiders, cargo shorts and a Abercrombie polo

[Ion26]

I think we should also include, which gym character are we?

[Austere]

Tbh I think it may be a good thing that the OP wrote this before Jersey Shore existed, or this post may have turned into a 5000 word tirade.

[sy2502]

The aerobics instructor who comes up with the most ridiculous moves (lunge while lifting a pink dumbell over your head, then twist your body to one side, then slowly change from lunge to 1-legged deadlift while doing a biceps curl) for a group of out of shape women who not only can barely do any of those things, but are convinced that's THE secret move to a skinny and toned body.

[Coryh11]

Why are guys catching your eye bro??????

[sy2502]

This one at my gym if anyone can explain it to me I'd appreciate:

the 6ft7, 90lbs stringy bean-pole ectomorph who jumps rope between sets. Why?

[xboxing]

And so?

This truly brought me to laughter haha.

[IndigoWar]

I know of your bench crew.. However at my gym I refer to the bench crew as the people who (much like the second string in sports) "Take the bench" On the other hand, this bench is just outside of the sauna, and in case they didn't have enough sit time in the sauna, they will congregate outside, like they just did the heaviest work out known to man, and can not seem to move... *Facepalm* At least these people are relatively out of may way.

[EvanLatch53]

great post for all

[Vincent17]

The middle aged bald hippie who gives advice on building strength with low weight high reps to target the 'inner muscle' because getting bigger and training 'outer muscle' is purely for show. Btw this guy clearly never trains his so called 'outer muscle'

[sy2502]

The "new year's resolution crowd". You know, the overweight and out of shape mass that descends on the gym early January, and is nowhere to be found by March?

[seabass08]

My gym has a Lord of the Ring-ish cast of characters!!! A few:

- The Too-Cool-For-School personal trainer. He knows everything. About everything. He can take any life, add a bosu ball, and make it better. Your diet is wrong...no matter what it is. Just let him tell you why. Is his shirt a size too small? No, his arms are just a size too big!!! He could've been a UFC fighter, but, he CHOSE not to because they all do steroids and he's all natural and wouldnt budge on that.

- The Curl Monkey. You all have one. He does nothing but curls. All day every day. Like a trained monkey, he knows one trick, and does it often. At some point, he learned the calf raise also. Big supersets of the two, 5 days a week.

- The Fighter. He wears Tapout clothes every day. He "shadow boxes" right inf ront of the dumbbells, while ignoring an empty aerobics room with perfectly good mirrors. But if not for that, how would he remind you that he's a fighter? Somehow, though, never see him with a black eye. Or bruise. Or training for an actual competition. Guess he so good he doesn't get hit!!


- The 35 Year Old Frat Boys. Oh, we all know this crew. At least here in the South with the ocean and lakes nearby. They come in with shaggy hair. "Raccoon Eyes" from sunburn while wearing glasses. Maybe even a hint of beer on their breathe. They workout in a Guy Harvey t-shirt, and khaki shorts with a belt. A belt that has fish designs on them. And quite possibly wearing sandals. Just getting in a few curls and a bench before hitting the water again, and scoping out the girls. The girls, by the way, that they invite everyday to "Come out on my boat".


- The Frustrated Powerlifter. Hes big. And fit. Wears cutoff sweatpants and a solid black or white t shirt. Keeps a thick ass weight belt, tub of protein and big water bottle in his gym bag. He is waiting to do his back squat/front squat workout which would kill a normal man. But he cant yet. Because the only squat rack in the 30,000 sq/ft commercial gym is taken. It's taken by 4 of the 35 Year Old Frat Boys doing curls in teh squat rack. The Frustrated Powerlifter stares at them and fantasizes about crushing them with his bare hands.

[McPhan86]

Here's my gym celebrities!!

Means Business - Comes in with some pretty cocky guys. But he just comes in and works hard... no showing off.
The Squeeze Brothers - Two guys who shout SQUEEEEZE at each other!
Rocker - Nicest guy in the gym. Gives great advice, always wears black trousers with a death metal tshirt. Is about 45, good shape, and great grey mullet.
Bad shape Blonde - Ugh. This guy does bicep curls and nothing else. Long blonde hair. Been seeing him for about 2 years at the gym and he hasn't changed a bit.
Mr Ripped - Big guy, and ripped. Although he looks bored.
The Beast - Definitely on roids, this guy is about 6'4 and is an absolute tank
The Pig - the Beasts side kick
Turtleneck - Wears a turtleneck and has terrible form
Bad form Black - A guy who used to work out with us. Has slipped away and when benching, feels it's ok to bring the bar down about 3 inches then press. Tries to bench 85kg when he just can't. And tries to incline dumbbell press 37.5kg and ends up almost killing himself.

[stumiester69]

The guys that walk around tensing the little muscle that they have!

The Gym staff that think they know it all but dont even look like they lift!

[euroman]

The "new year's resolution crowd". You know, the overweight and out of shape mass that descends on the gym early January, and is nowhere to be found by March? I work with that crowd lol

[ZakHellion]

Well I go to PF (Planet Fitness) just cause its cheap as hell, close to my house and has all the weights I need. Also usually not too busy. Anyways I have a few characters. Hell I may be one and not know it. I'm probably the weird tattoo sleeve guy, I dunno.

Anyways we have the black custodian dude. Really cool guy I talked to quite a bit. He's the custodian and cleans the bathrooms. You can often hear him cursing when someone blows up the toilet and he has to clean it up.lol

70's tattood guy. This guy comes in heavily tattoo'd sleeves, chest, back, neck, dresses like a 70's globe trotter. Short basketball shorts knee high tube sicks, head band and does all cardio all day. Probably a vegan too.

Buttah face girl. This is a girl that always hides her face with the hat real low. She's probably insecure about it. I don't think she looks bad at all but she has a big nose and some girls have issues with that.. But she works out like crazy and has a rocking body.

The house wives. There are many, they usually come in in pairs. Bored house wives working off their boredom with domestic life. Some look pretty good too.

Fatties: We have a lot of fatties, and I don't mean just overweight, I mean like Heavy D heavy weight or more. I actually like to see them there as it gives me hop for fat America. At least they are trying by working cardio.

The "Expert" you all know this guy. He's in good shape and was in the Marines and feels that he has to go about correcting and giving advice solicited or not to everyone. Hes a generally nice dude but if you ask him one question he will talk your ear off for 30 minutes.

[Systema]

There is one guy who i have a ton of respect for,but i just dont understand.Hes super ripped and doesnt look like that big a guy but can bench 315 for reps.He always wears a long sleeve shirt,and never takes it off.Its 95 degrees and hes in the gym wearing a long sleeve shirt.Why? I drink over a gallon of water when im in the gym.Its November and im wearing a t shirt.I work hard,and it takes no time for me to sweat.How does he do it?!

Another guy whos at least 60.Gives me a very homosexual impression.He does one armed chest presses on a machine while holding a Better Homes and Gardens magazine with the other hand.WTF!

Oh hey Mcphan,im one of those squeeze brothers.And yes i get fed up with personal trainers who dont work out themselves.

[sy2502]

The more or less buff guy who lifts heavy, and brings his cutesy GF in who then parrots everything he does but with the 3lbs dumbbells, and, get this, HE SPOTS HER! You know, in case she may hurt herself going to failure with the 3lbs dumbbells... ROFL!

[mod4sale]

I am the circuit trainer. The dude who grabs all these weights in one spot and finishes almost a full body workout in a blink of an eye.

[SwolenNolan]

Lmao

[acubed123]

Haha :D

[STEELCITYMUSCLE]

Italian Kid with a Ultimate Fighter tank top who try's to max out out everything,....lol he asked me to spot him once and trying to be a nice guy I did, he told me to grip the bar as he did his incline press with 335 well i got a good trap workout on his first and last rep... I told him to go down to 2 plates and rep it for 6 and build his weight up from there, he said he goes all out like this all the time.. I didn't bother talking to him after that and ended the conversation, kid is as dumb as rock... but I think he may understand what I was trying to tell him after he goes under the knife one day, then again...some never learn.

[S1D3SW1P3]

Let's see... There are a few at my gym that entertain me...
We have:
The HGH guy. So obviously pumping himself full of **** it is ridiculous. Mostly walks around, doesn't work out a lot, but he's huge.
The Crazy Old Guy... ****ing HUGE, fake tan, wears a shirt that clearly declares he doesn't do roids (lol) pretty beast though.
The Boxer... Always jumping rope and doing cardio, boxing the entire time... This guy may be legit, he motivates me when he's doing cardio at the same time I am
The Crazy Chinese Lady... Gotta be mid 40s, wears as little clothing as possible, spends like 2 hrs doing oblique work ONLY.
The Couple... Holding hands while stretching? SRS brah? I mean, my girlfriend and I go to the gym in the same car, that's about it lol.

That's it for now I think.

[SportbikerKid]

Well I work out on an air force base, and alot of the airmen will come in with random 5/10 girls and start bragging about how much they can lift. Just today, one of them had his chick spotting him and he failed his first rep of 185lbs on bench. I had to go help his girlfriend drag it off his chest. This happened after he was telling her how swole he was for about 30 minutes straight. I had a stong desire to load 315 on the bench, rep that, then ask his girl on a date haha.

I swim daily at the gym. You have to time it right because there is a high membership of Korean older women who congregate mainly at the pool doing pool exercises, they look like ducks in a pond, kinda of funny, floating around. The reason why I say you have to time it right is that they are there everyday around the same time. They must spend half the day at the gym. All if not most retired or are house mothers to grown up kids. They take up all the lanes and bob and float around doing their thing. When a "swimmer" comes along and tries to use the lane they may move. Or, as I do, excuse myself for needing to use the lane. They are nice about moving, if you're assertive.

Here's the thing on some days if you take all of them and put them in one lane they could do their bobbing and paddling without any problem with personal space. They line up perfectly.

I do butterfly sometimes, and I think when they see me its trouble coming. Butterfly displaces a lot more water than free style and the wave action becomes a tidal wave if you're just bobbing in the next lane. Think a floating rubber ducking in a child's pool with two kids playing. lol

[BalkanPrince]

solid good thread idea.

Crazy Legz: THats what I called this one dude who always seems to injure himself when he does squats. My man always busts his ass one way or another. Probably because he keeps lifting beyond his capability, and his form is awful. Tried to talk to him about it but instead he added more weight (Which he fails to lift).

Sylvester Stallone: Guy resembles Stallone awfully lot, this guy is a lot bigger tho. Mirin his shoulders.

The 50 percenters: Bunch of four overweight kids who got about this much Body fat.

UFC Ese: One Mexican kid who looks beta as fuark but wears "Tap Out" to look tough

The Darkness: This one guy who is from Togo. Blackest dude I ever met. He is a cool cat though.

Peter the Cum Eater: This one receptionist named Peter who is as queer as the blazes like Ron Paul would say.

At my gym I have a curl monkey. If I don't see him at the dumbbell rack I actually worry that something happened to him.

i am not used to having "trainers" at a gym, i recently moved up state from a Powerlifting/BB gym and now workout at a commercial gym...these guys are a joke. they wear Baby Gap Shirts, have quite impressive bellys....all i can say is if i were to pay a trainer they better be in better shape then me..knowledge or not..

[Zamakaze]

There's this kid at my gym, probably around 16 years old. He looks to be around 6', 120 pounds, and 5% bodyfat. All he does the whole time is different variations of bicep curls, and he will literally do bicep curls for an hour, then leave. Starts out heavier, then goes lighter, then does barbell curls then reverse curls, then lighter reverse curls, then leaves. He must've done like 20 sets of bicep curls. Everytime I come into the gym, he's there doing bicep curls.

The time wasters:

The over trainers:
The guys that are in the gym when you train, and are just leaving when you drive past 6 hours later

The machine rats:
The guys who do a few sets on all the machines, then go.

The wierdos:
Self explanitory

[JohnJohnJohn62]

I don't have any one weird at my gym. There is 1 women who is about 70 and does mostly machines and then there are just huge guys. The guy who runs the gym is a pro cage fighter and it's on an industrial estate... not exactly your usual gym I guess.

[davispm]

bahaha you prety much hit it man. gotta love the guys that do "curls for the girls" all day too.

[PumpMachine123]

the guys who think theres benifit in making up their own exercises using 10 pieces of equipment at the same time to do their calfs haha

[Duncan1982]

My favorite people at the gym...

The Lurker - Always in the locker room... never see him on the gym floor... never see him enter or exit the building

Terrible Form Guy - Has the worst form ever... light weights, heavy weights, it doesn't matter, his form is always terrible

High School Football Team and Cheerleaders - Usually a group of High Schoolers, one if which is very serious about lifting and travels around the gym with an entourage of 4 guys and a few girls (who generally stick the treadmills when he isn't around)

My Doctor (or My Wife) Made Me Come Here Guy - Older, Very reluctant weight lifter, sticks to machines, lowest possible weights, never does cardio even though that is probably the one thing that he needs to do...

Ab Machine Guy - He's about 1,000,000 ab machine crunches away from seeing his abs, no make that 999,999... won't do cardio or change diet, just keeps doing ab machine crunches...

The World's Strongest Man - Everything he does, he does it big... needs to wear a weightlifting belt while performing every exercise in his routine... probably has sex with fat chicks wearing his weight lifting belt as well

Advice Guy - Doesn't mind interrupting the workouts of the most muscular dudes in the gym to ask for advice/tips

Nips - Woman at the gym with nipples that are hard 24/7... ugh, I love you but I hate you!

Weird Exercise Milf - Not sure where her routine was developed - somehow a womens workout magazine and a stripper pole combined in her brain to assist her in developing a sexy, yet most likely unnecessary and not very effective workout... however, when it comes to getting the attention of men at the gym, it is highly effective

[Winston50]

just the other day, i had an gal come and start doing leg extens next to me.....the bad part wasnt just her matching jump suite...no bra...and boobies down to her waist......

[devondudeman]

haha so true, I go to a small gym but i get all sorts of characters that wander in every once in a while.



* The group of youths who stand around the bench in a pack, bench their max rep once, and stand around it talking with each other
* The office workers who invest in full top of the range gear, and just jog lightly for 10 minutes then leave
* The people who spend 1 hour in the changing rooms/shower - and 10 minutes on the gym floor
* The fat sweaty man who refuses to towel off and wipe down the machines after use
* The newbie who just wanders around looking lost
* The powerlifter who walks in with gloves/belt/chalk...then lifts a petty amount
* The guy who is too busy making sure he looks good in his flashy gear to actually work out
* The people who just use the treadmill on a moderate walk pace...as if you can only do this in a gym

[PumpMachine123]

The guys who take the scratchy sides off their sponges and use them as grips for their hour long bicep session

[Spencar]

Fishes - The guys who seem to go to the water fountain between every set.
1/4 Repper - Self explanatory , except the one at my gym on his last 2 reps he will do them full reps
Huge Friendly Firefighter/cop - This guy is usually pretty big and very friendly who wears their firefighter/cop shirt when going to workout
Water bottle fillers - people who fill up their massive water bottles with the fountain right before you get there
Cardio Friend - one of your friends always asking you to do cardio hes usually overweight
20 rep squatters - these guys like doing their squats... with all of reps
negative reppers - those guys who get their pumpons mainly from negative reps, like using ez bar curls throwing the weight up and then letting it come down slow.
talkative handicapped guy - the skinny guy who thinks protein should be illegal, tries talking to everyone about random topics, and who is very bipolar. He is at the gym nearly everyday and loves to powerlift.
jerks - the ones who try to make their friends laugh while they are struggling with a heavy weight.
powerhouses - those guys who are smaller than you, but end up lifting more than you
body weighters - guys who are sworn by body weight exercises, pushups, chin ups, pull ups, dips,
locker room buds - only time you talk to the guy is when your getting dressed the same time as him

[Wilco84]

What about the Early bird, the guy that, if not a 24 hour gym, basically opens up.

[TimeTakesUsAll]

How about the old fat guy that walks around naked after showering and uses the hand dryer on his junk.

[mjdalegend]

The **** that ****ing asks me to spot him on his bicep curls as im just about to perform a PR on my deadlift, the **** is that stupid **** up to, srsly, i just told my mate to spot him, god that ****ed me off i mean ****ing CURLS, ****ing curl monkey ********s.

Im sorry about the language lol

[CamCam174]

Misquotes: Your Friend who just happens to be at the gym at the same time and NEEDS to come start conversation between each set.
Eminem: The Guys on the treadmill running at 9.5 while rapping there favorite verse of "Lose Yourself".
Owners: Self explanatory-the people who truly believe they own the gym actions such as not cleaning machines, not stripping the weight off of anything, and walking around with a false sense of accomplishment and arrogance are all common with the "owner" type.
J-Lo: That one hot girl in spandex who does cardio, core, and glutes only but nobody complains.

[sy2502]

Owners: Self explanatory-the people who truly believe they own the gym actions such as not cleaning machines, not stripping the weight off of anything, and walking around with a false sense of accomplishment and arrogance are all common with the "owner" type.

These are also the same people who will bully other gym goers off benches and machines because they obviously have more right to use them than everybody else, and shouldn't be made to wait for others to finish.

[zakTN]

The people who start taking your weight off bar when your bag is laying right next to it and then act like its your fault when you say you have some sets left

[Dawes]

The Starer
The Pervy Starer

I don't think there's a benefit, but I do it :D Yay for shorter than man legs LOL

[benmonk1991]

I've got a guy at my gym who we call chuck because of his awesome beard. The thing about chuck is when he does squats he opens his mouth so wide you can see his top and bottom gums its quite amazing.

[GhostAvenger620]

I once judged people by thier looks, this guy at my gym, spends half of his life there, almost everyday 6 hours. Bit of a phyco type, and its really quiet at the gym, I always thought he was unejucated meat loaf, but when I finally talked to the guy he turned up to be the nicest buy in the gym. I mean nice in decent way, not gay or anything. He gave me pointers, tips and we just chat about everyday stuff time to time. So I think before we misjudge people, entirely on thier looks or what they do, you should talk to them.^^ this.

The guy who wears a belt to row 20lbs.

[Energized]

The unmotivated cyclers. When I walk past the exercise bike section there are always people on there who look bored out of their mind but haven't even broken a sweat, look as if they'd rather be at home watching TV. They aren't really trying hard or putting a lot of effort in, neither are they going at any speed or high resistance. In fact they look so laid back they might as well pull their phone out and text someone or read a book. They really think they are going to get into shape and improve their fitness without putting the effort in?

[redneb480]

Haha.omg.the ILS.too many people do that

[jaco1983]

Personal Trainer/Owner - The Personal Trainer who believes he owns the equipment because the gym allow him/her to practice/offer his/her services there. Commonly asks if you he/she can just 'borrow' the bench/dumbbells/machine you are using for his/her client. If told 'No' looks at you like your the c**t but lettuce be reality there is only one c**t in this situation.

[jsteven9]

- The hot as hell girls in brand new tight pink workout gear you'd love to bend over that bench they're next to and show them heavy poundage for reps! You can't do that though because they're on the phone while their friend does tricep kickbacks with plastic DBs.

- Massive upper body/toothpick leg guy. Say no more.

- The machine homies who got their fashion tips from K-Fed. Only free weight they use is the preacher curl and they never re-rack the 5kg plates on either side.

- The aesthetic as hell model looking guy you wish you were who is always in the gym with a different hot girl and actually doing exercises correctly with full ROM. Alpha brah!

[sy2502]

Had the disgrace of seeing this creature at the gym last weekend: the "MMA wanna be", also called "Mom didn't hug me enough as a child".
He's male, late teens, and does cartwheels, hand stands, back flips, and flying kicks right in the weight area. No, he doesn't do them in between sets, in fact he doesn't use the weights at all, despite being, uh, in the weight area. And no, silly, OF COURSE he doesn't go in the spacious and empty cardio room, who's going to see him perform in there?
Recommendation for this creature: the local circus is always looking for new clowns, the gym is not.

[Sourapple]

Saw the late 40s women who think they're doing aerobics in the 80s with their stupid clothes and doing all these crazy wtf aerobic exercises, they did in the weight area, and atone point wrapped a25 pound dumbbell in a towel and pushed it around for 10 minutes

[Nattydread]

The dudes that don't put a towel on in the changing room. Disgusting!
At times I am a grunter, but it helps me get the frustration out from day to day living.

[sy2502]

The guy who takes a bench, puts his towel down next to the bench, gathers his dumbbells, does all his things then... leaves towel and dumbbells around the bench and goes home. And everybody else keeps thinking the bench (and the dumbbells) are taken.

[jesus101589]

The guy who camps outside of the women's section and stares.

The "bro" who comes to the gym to talk to everyone and not workout.

The guy who asks how man sets you have left and then stares at you until you finish.

The guy who pisses on the floor and not in the toilet.

The girl who squats around a big group of guys. (I love those girls)

The guy who takes 5 min breaks in between sets.

[Tallman509]

I lift at a university gym so all kinds of funny half-assedness and broscience goes on. But the real characters here are the old professors who sit forever in the sauna and make conversation. There's one from Ghana who clearly has no idea about American sports but loves to talk college football and always manages to steer the convo back to soccer somehow. Or there's a retired business law prof who asks everyone what their career goals are. The minute you make eye contact with one of these guys you can kiss your quiet sauna session goodbye....

[Chrissoto1990]

The guy who stands in front of the squat doing curls half assed....

Pisses me off some of us know where it's truely at and if you don't know yet


[squats] is the most powerful thing you can do to get bigger once you can do that then your body will follow in strength everywhere else.... Still have to do everything else btw....

Before that person gets up not to be a dick but I'm always up there , I ask him before he goes" yo you think I'm going to use that"? Usually picks up after him self after that

[flanker34]

*The Dick behind the desk- asked him for advice about proper back muscle contraction when I used to have a problem with the whole mind/muscle connection, he laughed and said he couldn't help me. I will crush him.
*The group of out of shape girls who half ass every moderate cardio session they do
*the one hot girl who comes by herself and does 5 lb tricep kickbacks
*The group off massive guys who all do chest on the same day (Tuesday nights) and take up every bench for 2 hours
*the guys who only come thursday-saturday to try to get a pump in their biceps before they go out for the night
*the guys who train hard and grunt (at various noise levels) <-- me
*the 18 year old boys who think squats have to be done with their back perpendicular to the ground (poo man stance)
*the older lady (40's) who does proper form olympic lifts, shes awesome
*The first timer- usually a kid who just got to university and decided to reinvent themselves (nothing wrong with that). Goes to the gym every day for 2 weeks then is never seen again
*The hipsters- usually wearing deep purple/sky blue V-necks, skinny jeans and their beanies. usually have to take off their beanies to do a set of bench but put it right back on after
*The looky-lous- people who watch other people when they add more than one plate to a bar to see if they use bad form. always look pissed when the person actually does use proper form
*Beats by Dre- wears gigantic purple, red, yellow headphones, baggy basketball shorts and a t shirt that has a slogan such as "dont touch my SWAG" or "Ive got 99 problems but my kicks aint one"

I'm sure there's more, University gyms bring out all types

[random_guy]

-MMA lifters: doing olympic movements in the weight area around the benches, even tho no one is there, also wearing a shirt with a martial art saying/rash guard, and then trying to beat up a fat Indian kid, not knowing that he is trained in MT as well.
-meathead: he is a nice guy, and the biggest guy in the gym, and will say i am irritating, and talks about how bbing is a lifestyle, little does he realize he can get reported for dropping weights and threatening to beat others up, whilst dropping the weight plates on the lat pulldowns.
-the cleaners: will start **** with the people in locker rooms, usually have gone to the slammer at least 3-4 times, and will get pissed off if you "looked at them the wrong way" after disposing of a towel into the used towel basket, not realizing the knife they are carrying in their pockets to ward off the big guys is tantamount to a crime.
- jackass song crew: a group of asian guys in their 20s-30s who have had rougher than average backgrounds, and have tattooes, been in trouble with the law, and enjoy kicking the **** out of people from a more privileged lifestyle, for no reason other than regrets(which they don't realize we all have).

[claricSTi]

80% of my commercial gym is
The nipple cut shirt, beats headphones, giant koi fish tattoo, and neon matching nike gear guy.

100% of my home gym is
Some crazy dude screaming light weight mother ****er and strapping chains to everything

[SteveJSS]

The "Teenage Twitchers" - Group of teenagers who rock into the gym slap 2 plates on the bar and then "twitch" the bar about 4 inches up and down for 3 reps before high fiving eachother. Similar story in the squat rack.

Those people who try to deadlift heavy but NEVER use proper form. They end up looking like the hunchback of notre damm trying to take a sh*t.

The people that try to give out advice despite the fact that they lift with horrible form and are skinny.

Those people that tell you that you'll hurt yourself squatting heavy.

The people that stare at you when you're doing your heavy top set - presumably hoping you fail.

[MoveMass]

the guy who supersets abs with abs before moving onto his next superset, which is also abs and abs.

the guy who talks to you about how he cant get big when you know this is the first time he has worked out in weeks.

the guy that does half squats in the smith machine

the guy who HAS to stare at his muscles during a workout to see how awesome they look mid set

the guy who tries to sneak in a mirror pick on his phone when no one is looking

the mother daughter combo who keep looking at you, and you can just tell she is telling her daughter to talk to you

the old ladies who do chest and shoulder presses with 5 pound weights as if it is actually doing something for them

and of course, the guy who wears a wifebeater, gold chain, a hat and designer track pants to EVERY workout, no matter what.

[sy2502]

the guy who supersets abs with abs before moving onto his next superset, which is also abs and abs.

LOL! Don't forget the variant of this, which is the guy who supersets barbell curls with dumbbell curls before moving to his next superset, cable curls. And that's all he does. All day. Every day. For years.

[HulkSmash9]

In my gym in Ireland, we Have a group of Polish lads, who think they are the kings of the place.. They come up to you mid sets either asking for a spot not cring what you are doing, and asking if they start jumping in by "stealing" the machines and racks. Last week doing smith machine front squats, one of them jumps in without telling me changing the weights to do shoulder press....

[aberry9475]

Around here we just have old people. Most don't care. 1 in 10 was apparently an Olympic medalist and wants to come over and tell me about how I can get like them (guess they leave out the grow 50 years and go to McDonalds everyday part).

Anyone ever get hit on by 80 year old women? Smell like peppermint and sweaty ass hole..guess they save their sponge bath for after gym time.

[MoveMass]

haha of course! there should just be a category just for isolation supersetters

I had to witness this pathetic spectacle at the gym last night. So much facepalm.

[EYZE]

Some of my characters:

The gymnast: This person uses the gym and equipment to do gymnastics-like exercises and never uses equipment for what it is meant for. He’ll do upside-down handstand shoulder pressed and back flip bur-pees. Instead of doing dips or muscle ups on the equipment clearly designed for it, he’ll do it on a squat or power rack. The majority of his workout requires a power rack, and if you want to even think about working in with this guy think again. Once he has a power rack he ties an infinite amount of ropes and bungee cords around in every which way and uses them to do perform all of his exercises suspended by ropes. How the f*ck does the guy not hang himself during his workout?

The angry power lifting guy: This one is pretty self-explanatory. All this guy does is power-lifting, he makes as much noise as possible, looks mad and pissed off all the time, and does not say a word or acknowledge anyone else in the gym. He’s got his hood pulled up, toque pulled low, music blasting from when he arrives to when he leaves, and does not handle it very well when the equipment he wants isn't available.

The lower half lifter: The polar opposite of Mr. Chicken Legs or whatever you wanna call him. The lower half lifter is only ever seen doing legs and mocking Mr. Chicken Legs between sets. He is likely an athlete in a sport that heavily emphasizes legs, soccer, rugby, skiing, or cycling. You can’t miss him when he’s at the gym, he’ll wear a high cut pair of shorts that look like they are from a 1960’s high school gym class.

The hipster: Yes, they've discovered the gym which now means that either gyms ‘ aren't cool’ or they are, but are still ‘underground’. Anyway, the guy I’m thinking about typically wears dark skinny jeans with some obnoxious belt buckle, think framed glasses with thin lenses, a tight concert t-shirt with the sleeves torn off, and slipper type shoes with no laces or heels. He styles, combs, and gels his hair in the locker room before he begins his workout. Sometimes I see these guys listening to music on Discman’s, cassette players or old first gen ipods. They never seem to be working on any muscle group in particular and are just wandering around using the machines and weights that no one is using and are available.

[bokarild]

omg.the ILS.

[legdaybestday]

People who quarter squat...I h8 you.

Haha legs are the best, off-season I train em three times a week ;)

[speedjason]

what about the Belt Guy? you see them wearing a belt but you never see them dead lift. they wear it for bench press, shoulder press, pretty much everything that does not involve putting a lot of pressure on the lower back.

[EYZE]

omg.the ILS.

The ISL guy! How did I forget about him?

The ILS (Invisible Lats Syndrome) guy walks around the gym with his elbows sticking out to the sides, his chest constantly flexed, and his fists clenched. He’ll usually be wearing a tank top because he is under the impression that he is bigger than he actually is. He’ll often ‘accidentally’ bump into people and is always trying to take up more space than he needs.

[buffquads]

And what about the women all ages who spend ALL their time on the treadmill and other cardio equipment and think they will get a killer body! And even if they lift weights, it's the tiny 2 lb dumbells so that they wont' get "bulky"!

And the cardio bunnies who sit on the leg machines and chat or txt.

Yep - I don't think I've seen a single 'cardio bunny' at my gym do any weights.

I was at the gym yesterday with a typical creature of gym life: my nephew. A typical teenager: obsessed with getting big arms. He did countless sets of bicep curls, only broken up with a set of bench, squats and BOR due to my encouragement. On the plus side, his squat form looks good. ;)

[Brycepz]

Was a good read!
