Observations made in the gym

**Kathybird** · 02-24-2011, 10:11 PM

I've been running on the treadmill a lot lately and there's a guy who comes in who REEKS of cologne. Creepy 50-ish dude who has no muscle, runs on the TM for a half hour and does the elliptical for a half hour, when he sweats it just makes the perfume worse. I've had to move away from him a couple of times now. He's just there to look like he works out and look good to the chicks who are throwing up in their mouths a little. I run faster than he does and I'm 5 feet tall and a little chunky.

What about the guy who needs to do all his dumbell exercises RIGHT in front of the fucking rack?

(If that is you.... FUCK YOU AND STOP IT)

Sorry, I like you to look at my jerked ass

On a serious note, yes it's very annoying.

The dude who tries to show you up after you have a good set.

He'll be sitting on his ass chatting the whole time, doing a very light workout, then after you come in and get a few good sets in, he feels the need to suddenly do a set and grunt like a dying pig.

I laugh. I know it's because I'm outworking the fucker and he hates it.

this is the main look or image in my local gym,yep some have huge arms but they all have the matching gut,the sad thing is i honestly think it impresses the local women in the area "bigger the better"
these guys always think they know best and make jokes at any one who trains there legs.

what makes it worse is that for a gym membership in the uk you pay £45 or more a month and the place is full of idiots that just get in the way.

oh the "rocky guy" we got one of them too,he always puts a smile on my face as he is sweating and grunting on the mirror with his lame shaddow boxing,this guy is crazy its always the same boring combos with no guard with poor stance etc.i bet he did a few boxing lessons 40 years ago and still thinks he is sunny listen or some other old school boxer.

The Green Lantern: the 5'11" 135 lb guy that wears all green, green sneakers, socks, tee, shorts and even skivvies he shows off by hiking them too high.

Im laughing my ass off, reading all your observations

I have some more..

"The Goners":

Every new year, a billion new people start at the gym. One by one, they also disappear. After 2, maybe 3 months tops - 95% of them are gone. Every year!! But changing a lifestyle is hard, so it's understandable.

The "What are they doing here?", I mean, really ?

Both male & female.. There are some people that comes to the gym regularly.. but.. what are they doing there ? They may start by going on the threadmill for 15-20 minutes (they walk VERY slowly, mind you..), then they start lifting some weights... but the weights are so light, they must take at leastion 5000 reps to feel anything? Yet they "work out"... Then back to the threadmill, and walk slooooowly.. Point is: They don't actually work out at all, they only pretend they are working out.. I don't get it! They come there often, so why not to at least put a little effort in it, trying to work out? Oh well..

Music ?

At my gym, it is possible to put on your playlist on spotify / youtube or whatever. But there is one major problem.. It seems im the only person in the world that likes metal. Even though I have a shitload of typical gym music on my playlist (typical gym music ~ techno), if just ONE metal song comes on the playlist.. At least 2-3 guys goes to the "receptionist" and start complaining. It's not even hard metal.. some songs from Manowar / Edguy / Nightwish / Hammerfall..

Oh well.. Headset it is

Keep them coming!!

water bubbler:

most serious athletes bring a water botttle or some shit. the only ones i see using it are the queers with skin tight under armour and are super skinny or think they are huge and are looking for a reason to strut in front of all the chick on the treadmills.

the Pairs

the 2 fat chicks that walk around together and use each piece of equipment once

The Hearing Impaired

The guys with cranked head phones that grunt louder because they need to 'HEAR' it? and slam the fucking weights down on the rack like they are just dropping the last set

or the improper dressed

saw a guy wearing 3 different sox on each foot!? or jeans with steal toe boots, or the retards with muddy boots that walk on the treadmill! ugh! get a pair of gym shoes!

Yes...I usually just walk up right in front of them and grab my dumbells anyway, interrupting their set. Haha...I love doing that s**t!

BANG BANG BIOTCH!

The geek - Skinny guy, who always does the same exact workout and clogs up the squat rack doing wrist curls.

The hardass - Wears sweats, hoodie and bandana. Surrounds himself with much smaller guys then himself so he appears big and strong (much like a girl does at a bar)

The loser - This guy tries to copy you, or show you up by trying to do the same weight as you. He of course fails and does nothing right.

The Know-It-All - Thinks he's mr. cool guy and tells people what they are doing wrong, and then goes ahead and does what he is trying to show them wrong.

The stickbug - This guy is ripped, cut, defined and weighing a solid 150 pounds at 6 foot. This is the guy who thinks he's huge and big because he's so cut because he never eats.

this ^^^ is classic lol
