i go to the gym fairly regularly, and i enjoy it there. but there are some really funny and odd people i see going each week, and while they might view me as ridiculous when i show up, some of these guys are classic.

  • mister-i’m-too-good-for-everyone: i see a guy like this nearly everyday. non-challantly walking around, chewing gum like they’re burning calories. they’ll sit down at a machine, do 9 reps on a machine, not going through an entire range of motion, and walk away as if he just put that machine into its place. later they’ll meander around, not being impatient by a machine, but you know in the back of your mind, they’re judging people for not being as good as they are. usually, they’re smaller / weaker than the people that actually know what they’re doing.
  • miss-sweat-suit: i don’t quite get it, but they’re wearing sweat suits, cotton, polyester or otherwise, moving from one machine to another, in an effort to lose weight, or something. amusingly, they’re often carrying a bottle of water which negates the effects. awesome.
  • mr-huge: uh, this guy usually sounds like he’s gonna blow out his colon when he’s lifting something big. he’s just giant, lifts 800 pounds at once, and needs 4 people just to help him lift the damn thing. but he looks awesome after lifting one weight one time. but hey, he’s bigger than me.
  • miss-gatorade: this person is usually on the elliptical and is able to consume an entire bottle of gatorade before i’m done warming up. that’s 140+ calories you just drank. takes me almost 15 minutes of slow jogging to burn that many…and here you are, just eliminating your weight you burned. more awesome.

anyone got any other frequent gym offenders.
