Well hello there again!
As promised in the previous post…I will break down what I
have observed in my visits to the gym.
Now, I have always been pretty athletic and fit. Not tooting my own horn it’s just something
that is in my DNA I think to be active exercising or playing sports. Well my season of flag football, basketball
is over until spring. So in addition to
my boxing work out I said to myself…”Self you need to get to the gym a few
times a week to relieve stress and get that six pack you want.” Well it’s going well, but I digress…this blog is not about my physical progress workout. Maybe we
will discuss that one day but yeah not today. In my frequent trips to the gym
and if you hadn’t noticed I’m a bit of a people watcher…well I have categorized
some gym goers. Once you read these I’m
sure you will be able to identify.
First up we shall pay homage to the:
GYM RAT:
These are the guys that have to lift as much weight as
humanly possible for their body, they have to make grunting noise, yell, and
scream so everyone in the gym knows they are “getting buff.” Also, typically they lift weight close to a
mirror so once they are done they can spring up and check out their physique in
said mirror. Once the gym rat has
finished a particular weight routine.
They usually grab a towel and water bottle and walk around the gym doing
the buff walk like they own the place.
Wait…why are you looking like that…you don’t know what the buff walk is?
Oh allow me to explain…ok hunch both your shoulders up, then let your arms
dangle free slightly bent and away from your body, now squeeze both your butt
cheeks in now walk…BAM look at you buff walking!!!
Next up is America’s favorite the:
The Spokesperson:

OK moving on along to the…
The Singles:
These are folks that can also fall under one of the categories
above. Yet the main purpose of Singles
is to simply check out chicks or guys.
This is the guy who will give you that huge smile and then randomly pop
up next to you on every machine you get on…the Singles can sometime be a bit
creepy. Now women are in this category…wanna know how to spot a woman that’s a
singles…find her next to a somewhat hot guy in the gym she will be on the
treadmill next to him leisurely walking with a full face of make up but dressed
like a SPOKESPERSON.
Next we get to the…
The New Years Resolution
Maker:

Then comes the:
“I’ve got to get my body
right for the summer" person:
Actually see New Years Resolution Maker however this
person usually emerges in April or May right before the summer. One caveat is sometime this is the person
that says they will hit it hard to be able to get into a bikini by summer
obstacle is their body most likely looks like this…
The never ending
runner:

The Magazine reader:
I think this is a new generation of exercisers or something…I
mean we come to the gym to work up a sweat right…WRONG these folks have the
latest edition of Cosmo or People and catching up with celebrity gossip while
working out. I must admit I tried it
yeah not so much for me…I’ll stick with reading mags in the Doc office waiting
room, but hey if it works for you. Great lol.
Are you the:
Stinky dude:

OMG without further ado!
The locker room
flasher:


Ok so prime rule for me…DO NOT TALK TO ME WHILE YOU ARE BUTT NAKED!! …well unless you’re the ROCK but ahem back to the subject…yes not cool. I don’t want to talk to you as you are lifting your breast to dry sweat or water etc or while you’re putting on underwear. Let’s just enjoy the silence and pick up the conversation once we are fully clothed to avoid any awkwardness.
Welp it's been fun dissecting the various personalities at the gym and sharing it with you but I gotta run...Blog ya later!
