[lets get real, most of these people are just awesome]
1. the man who sits on the machine and has buckets of sweat underneath the eliptical.
2. the awkward minute, yes minute, not moment, when you're staring at the crazy lady going 15 MPH on the treadmill, with weights.
3.The strongest man alive--these guys are so large that they look like they could either live forever or die any second. Their clothes fit them like paint and their veins practically form roadmaps on their arms and legs. Fortunately for them, if they ever get lost on the way to their steroid dealer's house, they can use their bodies like a AAA Trip-Tic. These are also the same guys that you should never ask to spot you, because if you are struggling to bang out your last rep with what you believe to be a respectable amount of weight, they will simply lift it off you with one hand ... and then beat up your dad with the other
4. The Man Who Makes A Lot Of Noise. Wuhhhh…. Sssssss…. Ahhhrrggg…. Blarfff…. What?! I’m working really hard. Don’t you see how many pounds I’m lifting? That’s like curling 14 babies. Human babies.
5. the chick walking around for 20 minutes from machine to machine with her phone texting .. The Obnoxiously Loud Social Butterfly..Sure, we’ve all seen people at the gym with their phones plugged into their ears listening to their favorite pump-up music, or shooting off a quick text here and there — but that is generally unobtrusive to your normal workout experience. This is different, here is the obnoxiously loud, treadmill socialite. They’ll be happy to share with the entire gym their weekend plans, spoil the latest movie they saw, or whatever the non-emergency phone call may have them talking about. Hearing these voices over your music is one of those triggers where you’ll look around for the eye contact of your peers, just to reassure yourself that you’re not the only one that finds this type of behavior completely distracting and unnecessary.
6. old people—my only question is …what the heck are you listening to in those huge headphones? Jay z? Luda? Wish you were my G-pa!
7. the absolute CREEPER! These guys usually just stand around and watch people - mostly young women. They have a perma-grin on their face and enjoy watching the 9:00am aerobics class and can talk for hours straight about, well… nothing.
8.the one who wears jeans and has her hair down..how DO you DO that?
9. The Man in the Mirror - Some people like to watch themselves in the mirror at the gym while they're working out. That's fine, I don't care if you do or don't, but this is the person who takes it to the extreme. They will stand four feet back from the dumbbell rack staring into the mirror during each curl to try and see their veins pop and then suddenly they stop abruptly. Not because they are injured or something happened, but because someone walked in front of them. They can't workout without a mirror and it's a debacle if the sight of their reflection is hidden at all by someone moseying on by. This person needs to attend narcissistics anonymous. That may be the funniest anonymous meeting you could ever witness. Oh wait, just watch Tool Academy and it's the same thing.
10.The Girl You Want To Look Like. Hey, how’s it going? What am I doing? Oh, you know, nothing, just maintaining my perfectly sculpted abs and extremely rare, genetically magical metabolism. I actually don’t even need to be here, I just needed a reason to walk around in my bedazzled sportswear and other things made of shiny latex and gold. Oh, I’ve broken a sweat! My goodness! It must be time to go eat a double cheeseburger and drink multiple martinis. Good luck with your unsuccessful workout, and don’t forget to check out my tush as I walk away!
i am missing some, i just know it! enlighten me hahahah. have a good weekend! :]

Bwahahaha! and then there's me....can't even stay on a treadmill for over 30 minutes cause I nearly passed out at 15 and, well, I'm just too tired to care. LOL!
sorry I missed you the other night! We should go together some time!
THIS is beautiful :D hahahaha in the spring when i'm back at school i'm DEFINITELY going to find these people!!!
There is a guy that is always at the gym when I go. He typically stands around one machine talking to another guy who is using it. This guy will stand there for a good 45mins. just sipping on his coffee, chatting away to the guy who is actually working out. He has gym clothes on and has his gym bag with him also... Then after about 45mins. he will go over to the bike machine and pedal very very slow for the rest of the time im there. Sometimes he pedals so slow that the machine doesn't even 'turn on'. He just sits there, slowly pedaling... watching everyone else walk by and do what they do. WEIRD!!!! I have dubbed him the creepy gym guy, ha!
my roommate used to always put on a ton of makeup before we went to the gym. I mean, come on!
You've seen the Jeans Girl too?! Haha, they must be everywhere!
Also, I about died laughing about the curling human babies part.
This was absolutely fantastic! The huge man who might die at any given moment, the creeper, gym diva... we ALL know them. I loved your descriptions - they were so vivid! :)
Well that made me laugh right out loud! I think I work out with most of these people on a daily basis :)!
Holy crap that is the funniest thing I have read in a long time. My first time to your blog and you totally have me sold with this post.
