3 Types of Weird People at Gym

hahaahah!! good one.

errr.. so far, don’t think i’ve seen gals do that. lol! :)

:lol: Good one… Ya… Misuse the gym… Sigh, better just get off and let others in la… Oh… The reason to blow the pubic hair, is to make the little brother bigger, remember hot will Expand :lol:

So far, i have not encountered 1 and 3 but 2, yes. Sometimes it’s not that they want to show off or something, it’s just that they don’t want anyone to look down on them. So, they’ll probably use a weight beyond their limit to cover their weakness. Those ’sickos’ who laugh at people’s weakness would probably cause this situation as well.

By the way Mun, this post got a lot typo ‘error-lah’

hi. a good post. found you via ping.sg. You should see some of the ones i’ve seen here in my gym.

cheers

haha, very true :)
but the girls in the gym, does the same kinda wierd shit like those guys you quoted.

personal experiences (unfortunate).

not only this… there are friends of mine that ask me the following question:

Which gym got more pretty OL.
Which gym got more handsome guys..

damn i was like, you are going there to mate or what… bloody hell…

Another thing is that, i found it very common, those members like to chew chewing gum and at the end of the day, they will spit it out in the bathroom… damn farking lame… i had even seen one whole bunch of tissue paper stuck on the bathroom drainage system. wondering why the hell you need tissue paper while you are actually taking a bath…

Believe it or not, chics can make you go crazy. There was once when we, particularly we the Brothers of Iron, mostly my age of mid 20s, pumping regularly according to our workout, sets and reps, and when the coyotes started their howlings, we were intimidated! LOL, but do know something, it boosts your workout so as long as you know where you stand. You tend to pump harder, more reps, got a lil enraged in your inner side. I say this is good for the boys, better than to getting excited on energy-boosting supplements. The chics does help in a way. But don’t stare at them, it’s rude to stare. Also, don’t go about wandering, loitering and staring at them like a dog on a mating season. Look, it’s a gym, not a spa!

About men using the hairdryers, so far the only person that I’d seen using it miserably, is me. I use it to blow my feet, simply because I have athlete’s foot. There’s no way to cure it since it’s a genetic thing. Also, I don’t go blow it down there or even the sides. Bear in mind that keeping yourself clean is a healthy thing, so shave it off like I do! Don’t get embarrassed, it’s about your health, not others. Have some thoughts over it. Have some considerations for others too. You ain’t gonna like it if you happen to see hairs that doesn’t come from your body!

Lastly, about showing off, I would be glad to comment that some of this people are doing it for the plain stupidity itself, which is pointless, since they prefer working out the thickness of their skin, not their muscles. Some would do it for themselves for the sake of self-esteem. It helps to motivate you if you feel that you’re not energetic enough for that day, it gives you a temporary boost in your mind too. So choose what you’re doing, better to pick the one that you can improvise ;)

I have seen an indian guy (no offensive to other indian guy) who use hair dryer to blow his hairy chest. Yeah i know hair dryer is meant for hair. But seeing someone using it to blow his chest is weird and disgusting. I will try my best to avoid using hair dryer in gym now.

Lol… but those you mentioned are for guys. Are there any weird ladies in gym?

Haha! That is hilarious about the “blow drying pubic hair”. From a woman’s perspective, I guess most girls I see in the lockerroom are either completed shaved/waxed down there or only have a small strip so we can all basically air dry. LOL.

Now that you mention it though i have seen some use it for that. Mostly the older women that dont trim, but I’ve seen younger girls that do have a big bush down there that use it for that too. Who knows i guess it is hair! See ya

I’ve seen all of these and more at my gym. I particularly dislike the one that likes to hog the machines while he drools over women. This guy always seems to be on a machine i need to use when i’m in a hurry.

I HAVE seen that! When I was a kid, we belonged to a nearby gym. I always swam in the pool while my parents were working out. Afterwards, there was almost always this one woman in the locker room, her leg hiked up on the counter while she blowed her nether regions dry. I’m pretty sure my mom and I weren’t the only ones that thought she was nuts, but no one ever said anything. That’s not a childhood memory anybody should ever be stuck with. To this day I get flashes of that chick everytime I think about joining a gym.

Hilarious!!!!

Heavy weights is what gets results. Obviously some people lift too heavy, but you should have worded it differently.

People who lift light weights are wasting their time.

hey i just wanna ask one quest , when u enter the taipan tf gym , do u have to scan ur id card or u can just show them ur member card and they’ll let u in (free wieght area) bcuz if they just look at ur card and let u enter then i can use my fren’s card and just go there . therefor i dun ahve to register as anew member when i can use my fren’s card .

yeah, these people are weird, f*cking weird i swear, they sound like geeks fucktards

My gym has one of the weirdest females there. Here are a few things that ticks me off…

1) there is this lady who looks very polished and demure on the outside. But when she steps into the toilet, all hell breaks loose. She actually puts her feet up on the vanity table to shave her legs! Not even bothering to clean up after that. Furthermore in order to dry her sport shoes, she sticks the head of the hair dryer deep into the shoe to dry it! Ughh .

2) There is also one tomboy (sorry no offense to tomboys) who is super sleazy. She keeps walking around to catch a glimpse of girls changing and staring!

3) Kiasu ladies who ‘chop’ the showers by closing the shower curtains and taking their own sweet time using the sauna and steam room and then saunter back to ‘their’ shower stall. Doing this while there is a queue a mile long waiting to shower~!

4) This girl usually comes in and uses her curling iron to curl her hair, apply heavy makeup and prim and prep for almost half an hour. Then guess what she steps out to start her excercise routine

Now you know….its not only guys who have weird habits ;)

Nice to see others have similar irritation at the Gym..

We have a couple of strange individuals..this is a small town…but even so…

Most annoying to me..are the “POSERS” and by this I mean specifically those who…are completely normal..physique wise…not bodybuilders etc..but STILL stand there..PREENING…checking themselves out…this form of blatant..public..narcissism…or..EGO TRIPPING…is..SO annoying to me…it is so..strange to me that someone..ANYONE..could have THAT MUCH EGO! that they would just sit there and STARE at themselves…WOW!

Second type are the Machine/Bench DIRTIERS..people that sweat up a bench or machine and then..WALK AWAY..as if to say..”F—You! I could care less about anyone else in here…”

yeah..those really bother me…I have been driven to ‘Snitch out’ a machine dirtier before..something I try…NEVER to do..but..if they JUSt cannot..be polite..or even show BASIC regard for eveyone else..well..give em a taste of their own….BAD attitude..

Finally..HOGS..machine..bench..HOGS are…Scumbags…this is SO rude…

Then the final category is CROSS POLINATION..the hybrid types..

A Machine Hog/machine Dirtier…

Or..a Machine Hog/Ego Tripper..these are really annoying they are the guy’s..almost exclusively..that will just SIT on a bench or Machine STARING AT THEMSELVES in the mirrors…MAn do i hate those Punks!

Anyway..good thread..Really therapeutic to get this stuff out..my Wife is Soooo sick of hearing me rant every time we leave the gym…so..now YOU get to hear all about it..ahahahaahahaaa

Adios amigo’s..good site…really good..thanks..

I haven’t read all the comments and am sorry if someone already said this, but there are several things I don’t like when I go to my gym…

1. Girls who wear extremely short and skinny clothes. Like there will always be a ton of girls wearing super short shorts and a top that underlines her assets and makes them dangle every time she exercises or gets on a treadmill. So half of guys who fall under TYPE 2 just sit there and stare. It is distracting and just pointless.

2. Guys who dress up for a training like they are going to a fashion show. The reason I am saying this is because I always wear what is comfortable and cheap, since it just gets super sweaty and dirty after even one day at the gym. They are either just the showing off type, who would rather spend a ton of money on something to make dirty, or extremely rich people.

3. Those who come with Coke-type drinks. Every one knows Facebook, but not too many apparently can look up this kind of stuff.

4. Those who will not share a machine, although they have 5 minute breaks in between every set. And hygiene is bull-crap, because it even happens with things like hyper-extension machines and such.

5. Those who will use a machine and not clean it after although the cleaning towel and liquid is 2 steps away.

I’m sure I can think of a ton more examples, but it’s all for now. :)

u guys are lucky here in egypt guys work out at the gym alone and completly without ladies who has to train in spesific time each week

Mun are u serious? Drying armpit & pubic hair (yeeeeeuucchhhhh – sound of me retching)

Ur gym is weird man! (anyone doing that in any gym in the UK – and I’ve worked in a few – would be kicked out on their butts!)

I once saw a guy standing naked in front of a waist height fan that was on full blast.
Another weirdo trait is Chinese men staring at foreigners crotches as soon as a foreigner walks into the changing room, just waiting for them to take their pants off. Someone I know had a Chinese guy walk up to him in the changing room at a gym, nudge him, then pointed at his you know what, grunted and then gave him “two thumbs up”.

The most annoying the guys who stare and try to crack on to women in the gym.

I have seen all those and some more … I just seem to get one more thing whts the point of running aroundi n the locker room naked … I mean get dress and get out …usually old men in thr 50 or 60’s tends to walk around with thr wrinkly leather suit …. then there are group of persian i notice almost every day (no offence to all my persian brothers) but this particular bunch is way beyond retarded they hog 2 benches at once and take 5 mins break between each set just talking in there own language loudly and laughing like villans from 50’s batman sitcom … dude if u are not defined dont wear tht speedo infact never wear speedo or tanks tht can show ur man tits … n dont ask every single girl how was her day .we r not there to socialize we are there to better oursevles ..one last comment on my self I m one of the guy who lift heavy not for girls not for anything but for my self satisfaction and for the fact tht heavy weight shows result … and whn i m talking heavy i mean 230 lbs whr i m 150lb but i do 3 reps all by my self n no i dont make those loud growling sounds while lifting them : )

Aha! funny one. i have seen lots of weird people before in the gym too. although our gym doesn’t have any females member. but there are people that still want to show how strong they are by lifting up weights dangerously.

Most of the people would just shake their head and pray that he doesn’t dislocated his arm or anything.

Another thing is i hate people that chat on the machines , man we seriously have to wait for them to finish their conversation not their workout.

Anyway i really enjoy reading your blog.
I have done gym for like 1 year plus and i take it slowly because of my past 2 years kidney surgery. i never take any protein but just low fat meal with high protein food.
Doctor said it is ok for me to workout.
Although most of my friend gain muscle faster than me because of the protein powder. but i am still happy with my own achievement.
I wonder why girls prefer tone up guys than build up mass guy.

Hahaha….. It is a very humor way to describe the things happened at gym. In malaysia, some of guys are even getting their hair style ’set’ with hair wax and hair spray, then only they start their workout regime!

Some of them are not really concentrating in their work out regime, this is because you can see some of them are spending most of their time in front of the mirror, instead of weight lifting :)

I’m proud to be a gym weirdo. I train barefoot (this is allowed at our little strength sanctuary). I lift very heavy weights, and make all the very strange, grunting noises that come with the territory, while newbies stare at me sideways. I wear shorts and worn-out T-shirts I’ve owned for 10+ years. But then again, maybe I’m not so much of a weirdo. Shouting, grunting, actually trying are encouraged at our gym … and it’s not just all big, hairy, angry guys like myself. We have plenty of women of all shapes and sizes who aren’t afraid of a little intensity.
It’s not about ego … for fucks sake, you have to go into one of two bathrooms to find a mirror. I know a lot of you have a tough time identifying with this, but some people actually train to get stronger, whatever your definition of strength may be. I like to think it all pertains to “getting better at doing something,” a concept few commercial gyms ever pitch in their marketing speech.

How the hell is lifting heavy weights showing off. If you want to put on serious muscle you have to go heavy. The writer is probably a jealous bean pole who’s legs are smaller than my arms.

There is some seriously fucked up logic at work here. I doubt you can write off someone struggling with a heavy weight as a weirdo. Though its a rarity, pushing oneself to lift more, develop power, get bigger is how it probably all started. Surely not to nurse joints and massage pencil neck egos.
It might also be possible i am misreading your post; in which case i apologize.
