THE 10 MOST HATED PEOPLE AT THE GYM



10. The Grunter

Like a female tennis player, this guy releases a Satan-like queef-moan with every rep he takes. He makes that real butch-manly chick you brought home sound like that little, annoying, rat-like chick you brought home.




9. The Girl Who Can Kick Your Ass


You always have to make sure she's distracted by hitting on one of the huge trainers before you do start your reps. This way she won't be able to laugh at you. No normal guy really wants to a bang a chick that can kick their ass anyways. They already possess the mental powers of persuasion and irrational logic. With the addition of hulk strength your penis becomes officially just for show.



8. The Napoleon Bro-naparte


The guy who can't grow past 5'5" makes up for it by growing outward. Frenetically insecure, the steroids he's probably on make him very emotionally unstable. If you watch him do sets you can hear his screams of pent-up rage as the weights go up. This is then followed by intense crying of Maury Povich proportions as the weights come down. He is most likely wearing a lacrosse jersey or something made by Abercrombie. Either way it won't have sleeves.




7. The Guy Doing Pointless Exercises


This guy stands there with the bright red eight pound Fisher Price dumbbells and spins them in circles over his head at random. This guy clearly has no idea what he is doing. He is a danger to himself and everyone in the gym and probably won't ever see results. But he will hop on a machine right after you to try and imitate what you were just doing. After like four reps of doing it wrong he'll give up and try to copy someone else and experience the same outcome. He will eventually figure out how to do the chest machine that is generally only found in the workout room of a Best Western before he goes into the spin room to do eight jumping jacks and 15 jump ropes. For some reason this guy almost always wears glasses.



6. The Old Guy


Fully equipped with his bright white Saucony sneakers and a pair of khakis, this old man is ready to do what he calls "working out." He will sit on the arm bike, with or without an oxygen tank, shooting out looks that can make any bro feel guilty for being young.




5. The Girl Who Just Hangs Out


When these girls grow tired of their regular routine of not eating, they head to the gym. Usually gathered by the smoothie bar, or at worst a Vitamin Water vending machine, these girls mostly love to exercise their credit cards. Like the majority of women they consider exercising carrying around the six dresses from their maybe pile at Sak's for 30 minutes. They use the gym as an excuse to dress up in their cute gym outfits, check out guys and of course make all their other friends feel bad about themselves by telling them how long they were at gym for.


4. The Guy with B.O.


Every gym has a guy that just fucking reeks. He is always wearing the same high school water polo team shirt that probably hasn't been washed since he took it out from the bottom of his locker in 1996. Coincidentally, this asshole is always working the same muscle groups as you. So not only do you have to be immersed in his perpetual stink cloud, but you have to share equipment with him. You try to stay one machine ahead of him, but he always snipes your machine as soon as you go to the water fountain. When he gets up, the seat is covered in a puddle of sweat and it smells like someone banged an Indian Rosie O'Donnell with a strap on made of wet garbage that ejaculates congealed milk.


3. The Gym D.J.


I don't care what gym you go to, they all play terrible music. I am well aware that it's probably not an actual person DJing each song, but someone should be held accountable for the pop music that's so dated they don't even play it at bar mitzvahs anymore. I don't know why it is that The Fray, Lifehouse, All American Rejects and Fergie are the only bands they are allowed to play. As if this wasn't bad enough, it sets into motion a chain reaction of behavior that sucks just as hard. The shitty music makes way for the guy who brings his own different, yet equally shitty music that he listens to incredibly loud. This of course leads to him randomly singing song lines or blurting out rap lyrics in between sets.


2. The Flexer


The Flexer is probably the douchiest member of this list. The ex-high school jock turned frat boy now working at Goldman Sachs just stands and stares at himself in the mirror for most of his tenure at the gym. He usually only wears a wife beater or a cut-off that's so cut off it's simply a t-shirt collar with a tampon string connecting it to seams at the bottom. However, his routine is pretty extensive. He flexes in the mirror with his head slightly tilted back until the next Dave Matthew's song comes on his iPod Nano. He repeats this for about four to five sets before wiping his brow with either of his two sweatbands. Note: He can also be a Guido.



1. The Guy Who Leads The Spin Class


Spin class? Com'on, bunch of hampsters on a wheel. Yeah, I'm gonna ride a bike hard, I'm gonna ride a bike fast, and, oh yeah, I'm not gonna go anywhere!! Yeah, and I when I walk out, I wanna put a bunch of metal onto a metal bar and lift that metal over and over like a metal jerk. He also dresses like a bumble bee bitch and probably doesn't have any 80s music, just a bunch of goddam dance mixes. It's all good though, I've got a Steve Winwood CD in my car.......I've got boxes full of Pepe!




Honorable mentions:


The guy who uses the "Yes/No" machine that you thought was only for chicks. You know, the one where girls sit and spread their legs and then close them and pretend like they are denying someone access to their hole. Also make sure to notice the assholes that stand at the water fountain filling up their entire water bottle and anyone wearing lifting gloves.

There's nothing wrong with lifting gloves or posing either, some of us compete.

Likes to bench guy is the worst. No other exercise than flat barbell bench... every day. Howma chyabench? You know Ronnie Coleman cheats on bench. Those are half reps and wouldn't count in competition. Brady Quinn threw 225 up 24 times. I can get 26, no probm.

Lifting gloves are for girls.

Do your posing at home.

I can get 225 up 27times. No problem.

I don't see anything wrong with being a short guy who works out. We're not annoying anyone like everyone else on this list. It's bad enough that shortness denies us so many of the pleasures of life (attention from girls, high paying jobs, professional respect, etc..) It's unfair to say we can't workout and try to get more muscular (and more healthier) simply because we're short. I guess every guy who is under 5-8 doesn't deserve to try to be happy, and I guess we should all just kill ourselves. Let's kill all women under 5-3 while we're at it to. Weed out all the short people so there aren't any. Should we kill all the blacks to?

Anonymous said...

No, not the Blacks. Just the Canadians.

Whats wrong with hot chicks hanging at the gym? Ive poked my way through quite a few of them really. Shhh, they have no self esteem so they are really easy. Just make sure it isnt at your place and you dont give her your number.

Whoa, Shortguy... Sounds like you have some anger management issues, much like many of your short friends. Can you say, "Napoleon Complex?" Take it easy, Shortstack!

How the "doing bicep curls in the squat rack guy"? If we could gather up every douche across the country that does this I would gladly put a bullet in the back of each one of their brainless heads.

what about the guys who do sprints on a treadmill? i absolutely hate that.

how about the old asian lady who wanders around looking lost and does oblique exercises for 20 minutes.

I loathe the guy, usually old, that sits on one machine for 20 minutes doing nothing then walks away without cleaning up his ass sweat.

Ah yes, the infamous "Napoleon's Complex". I love how us short guys are supposed to just take the abuse, because if we don't, if we stand up for ourselves, we have anger issues and a "Napoleon's Complex". Let's not forget that Napoleon was actually about 5-6, which was fairly average height in his day.

This guy is telling me to chill out, even though he's called me 1. Shortguy, 2. Has anger issues (crazy), 3. Says all short guys are like this (bigotry), and 4 Shortstack.

This is why people will never have equal rights. We live in a completely P.C. world now where making fun of some group of people (be it blacks, muslims, asians etc..)warrants fines, apologies, and community service. Meanwhile, short jokes are still common, with no reprimanding done. Hate to break it to ya, but it's all the same thing. Making fun of someone for something they have no control over. And last I checked there's short people in every race. Which means there are a lot more short people in the world than you think.

i hope you are actually short and that retarded, cause if you had enough time on your hands to post that much you are kinda pathetic and then i would feel bad for you

Nick said...

That you got 11 people you hate and judge at the gym on this list is exactly why I hate gyms. I work out at home because of people like the author. Can't we all just get along? Working out is embarrassing enough on its own.

Anonymous said...

Yeah, No. 11 should be Author Guy. So cool that he shits on everybody else. He's probably the second douchiest guy in the gym, IMO. Poor guy. He's just there to work out and has to be surrounded by all these losers.

Short guy: Lighten up. Life is unfair and the world can be a cruel place. Everybody gets shit on. Be thankful it has to fall farther to hit you.

How about the "I'm a doctor and didn't have time to change out of my scrubs guy"? Hate that guy...yep, I get it, you're a doctor. And you've got scrubs on because you're a doctor. Don't have time to join the rest of us mortals and wear some damn workout gear do ya? Douche.

I agree with the challenged-in-stature poster. As a height-deficient individual myself, I feel that I have to maintain a cut physique to earn respect and attract ladies. I might be the smartest, most interesting man in the world, but I have to work extra hard for it.

That carries over to the bedroom too. As you guys know from the locker room, everything tends to be proportionate. Sure, my throbbing four-and-a-half inches looks normal on my frame (so long as I don't do too many quad presses and squats!), but the girls know what they're missing. I swear I get just as much cardio from tongue wagging as I do on the elliptical (which, by the way, is a MUCH bigger stride for someone like myself.)

Worse, the tallest of the tall end up in the gym because they are former athletes. I get it Muresan, you played at Lehigh or Catholic or some other minor program.

What's a short stud like myself to do? I guess I'll work on polishing my 1992 cherry red Beamer.

I'm a personal trainer and a fighter. I agree with all of the above, don't think short guys are annoying though. The worst gym member in my book is the guy who thinks because he trains and lifts weights he's tough. No amount of curls and pressing will mean you can realistically offer a decent offensive or defensive take in a fight. I will destroy you and make it hurt. Now go back to your DB rack and don't forget to pick your teeth up off the floor.

I got that Asian lady doing 3 hrs of abs too.

What about the guy that plays his music loud off his phone/mp3 player

Anonymous said...

lol @ insecure author. the "yes/no machine" is great for the hip flexors and glutes, dumbass. some of us are bodybuilders and work more than chest and arms, which is evidently your M.O. And I'll fill my water bottle if i want, the water fountain is there for everyone to use. i odnt wear gloves, but if somebody wants to,who cares. the only person i DONT like that wears tem is the hipster toolbox that doesnt even work out hard, and likely just wears gloves to protect his dainty little hands form callouses. that i DO hate.

Spin Class guy is usually not in the guy's section so he doesn't bother me

They forgot the fat girl who thinks she's going to drop weight by lifting and doing no aerobic exercises whatsoever. I find it ridiculous to mock fat people at the gym (kudos to them for trying to right the ship) but whenever I see a girl with lifting gloves hogging a bench (and only benching 10 lb dumbbells) and just getting in the way, I have to just shake my head.

The list also forgets 'guy working out with his girlfriend'. This douche almost always does something stupid in a vain attempt to impress her. Instead he just puts you in danger (like emphatically throwing weights to the ground to somehow look stronger...)

kellex said...

"They left off the 'I refuse to rack my weights' guy."

Exactly the one I was thinking of. I'm not sure I can remember the last time I saw someone actually rack their own weights. Nothing more fucking annoying that putting somebody else's shit away.

Or how about the "I'm doing a series of 4 different lifts at a time so you have no idea when I'm done using that machine and you just have to wait" guy.

Anonymous said...

How about "I'm kinda hot and dress like I'm really hot and know I see you all looking at me" chick. You know, kinda sort hot, does some weights, and when surrounded by 99% meatheads you find she's obviously the most interesting thing to look at. Wait a minute... I guess I like that chick, but she's still annoying. You're not that hot.

Campers. These are people that camp out on a machine between sets. It's OK if they are doing circuits and resting for a given amount of time, but when they just sit there picking out the next song on their MP3, oblivious, while you wait for the machine, it's a pain. Worse, somtimes after they sit there 2 or 3 minutes they don't even do another set. And usually they're not serious lifters, they're just clueless.

Anonymous said...

"I'm using that" guy... They guy using up 3 machines circut training while the gym is busy.

How about the guy who does "Crossfit" by himself. I don't give a fuck what a burpee is, and the sound of you saying burpee just made me puke on the treadmill and the hot chick next to me.
