I’m sure you have all run into a few of these kinds of people at the gym. Whether they give you a good chuckle or annoy the living hell out of you, here is my list of the most annoying people typically found at the gym.

The Grunter: That guy in the gym that makes an obnoxious grunting noise—even during his 10 lb warm-up reps— regardless of how much he’s lifting or pressing. He is obviously making this noise so that every cute girl in the gym is well aware of his super-human strength and how much he can lift.
The Model: This is the person who lifts their shirt up to take an Instagram selfie of their abs. The subject refuses to miss an opportunity to take a picture of what ever muscle has a pump that day, it just wouldn’t be a workout without a few Instagram pics uploaded.
The Supersetter: This is the person that leaves their towels, sweaters and water bottle on every machine because they’re using all of them. This person supersets their shoulders with their calves and their fingers. They hog EVERYTHING!
The Hoarder: The Hoarder likes to go around the gym and collect every plate, dumbbell and barbell because they will need it in the near future, usually it’s sometime during next Wednesday’s workout. Sometimes the Hoarder and the Supersetter combine and create the ultimate gym douche.
The Beauty Queen: The Beauty Queen is the girl that comes to the gym in full glam mode. To quote from Fancy by Drake, “hair done, nails done everything did.” Not to mention, her workout gear cost as much as my beater car.
The Mayor: The Mayor knows anyone and everyone at the gym. He spends 99.9% of his workout talking to his “friends” which happens to be everyone. When they hover around the weight rack, I just want to kick them out!
The Cross-Fitter: When this person is not cheering on their other cross-fitters at the gym, they are throwing around their dumbbells and weights, bouncing off the walls and doing some form of gymnastics or calisthenics. You really can’t miss them and can someone PLEASE explain the headbands to me?
Tommy/Tanya the Texter: This is the person that takes 30 minutes on a machine because they spend 10 minutes in between each set to have an ever so important conversation with their bestie about what club they will be going to later that night.
The Teacher: If you’re not a personal trainer, please don’t critique my workout. The Teacher is the person who goes around the gym and interrupts people during their sets to give them quick, usually useless, pointers on improving their workouts.
