Gym types

The types of gym goers

  1. The one hourer – A committed 8 hour desk jockey, spend exactly one hour at the gym doing the bare minimum. They are fit enough but not overly so.. Commits to two to three days a week.
  2. Gym paid personal trainers – A committed 8 hour desk jockey. Don’t be fooled that they work in a gym. This is the only job where the customer works harder than the people that get paid to be there.
  3. The gym rat – this person was a one hourer and has graduated to being a two to six hourer depending on how often they go to the gym. They will now dedicate several hours at the gym every day to be leaner and stronger. 
  4. The Resolutionist – A beginning of the year hassle. These people flood the gyms for the month of January and never again for the rest of the year. Very few of these get to be a one hourer. They tend to give up after the first pulled muscle.
  5. The basketball player – Where’s the ball? They’ll pay extra to “workout” in a gym with a basketball court and that’s all they will do. Skinny as a twig with no lean muscle, but man can they run.
  6. The Influencer – The ridiculousness of it all. These are people so jacked and spend so much time in a gym that they practically live there. They charge their phone simply to tell the world that it isn’t lifting correctly, and that their way is the correct way. Every gym has at least one.
  7. The muscle bound teen – Spends fifteen minutes a day lifting with a young body, and the next forty-five minutes telling old men how to lift. 
  8. Mr. Universe – The gym pro lifter. Has entered at least one bodybuilding competition. Has no equal in the gym and when he goes for heavy lifting he always has to have three spotters.
  9. That one girl – Every eye in the gym is watching her. We all know why there are so many mirrors in the gym, it is so everyone can watch her as she does her squats with minimal weight. Every eye is watching her and she knows it and likes it.
  10. Every other woman – CARDIO ONLY. I have seen women in the gym, but they only seem to be on treadmills or ellipticals. They’ll spend one to two hours on cardio machines and still have glucose deposits and not understand why. Then they’ll go home and seek comfort with Ben and Jerry.
