1) The Freshers:

They’re usually overwhelmed by the whole scene so they stand frozen like a deer in headlights, which makes them easy to spot. If you spot one, don’t make fun of them. Be nice and offer to help. We are decent people in this house.

2) The OGs

The moment you see them, you know they’ve gotten used to this fitfam thing. They walk into the gym with a sunny disposition, which is annoying because gym equipment are just torture contraptions in disguise. What the fuck do they have to be excited about??

3) The Muscle Heads:

Fear these people. Chances are your gym goals are WAY different from theirs. And even if your goal is to one day also look like a lumpy loaf of bread, you still have a long way to go before you get to their level. My point is, working out with them or copying their workouts without adjustments for your weight size will end with you in sifia pains.

4) The Slay People:

Even these ones come to the gym regularly, their top priority isn’t working out. It’s to take cute gym pictures and videos then can tension their social media followers with.

5) The Talkers:

These ones never do anything and are seemingly just there to give work out advice…to people that didn’t ask for it. Just like the image above, they don’t understand (or just choose to ignore) social cues that are meant to let them know that their victims are uncomfortable.

6) The Ministers of Enjoyment:

They pay their monthly subscriptions but only show up when there’s a gym celebration or get together of some kind.
