The 7 Types of People You’ll Always See at the Gym
Share
Step into any gym and you’ll quickly realise it’s less like a workout facility and more like a live documentary. Forget David Attenborough’s safari — the gym has its own fascinating ecosystem of creatures, and chances are… you’re one of them.
Let’s break down the seven species you’ll 100% encounter:
1. The Grunter
Volume level: unnecessary. Motivation level: high. Every rep is punctuated with a sound somewhere between a lion’s roar and a clogged leaf blower. We get it — it’s heavy.
2. The Selfie King/Queen
You’ll find them by the mirrors, ring light subtly tucked in their gym bag. They’ve perfected the “just finished a set” face… after warming up with 37 angles. Honestly though, respect — content is content.
3. The Cardio Bunny
Their natural habitat is the treadmill. Speed? Unknown. Endurance? Infinite. They’ve been running since you started your warm-up, and they’ll still be running when you leave. Do they ever stop? Science hasn’t confirmed.
4. The Social Butterfly
They know everyone. And if they don’t, give them 10 minutes. Their workout is 5% lifting, 95% catching up. Great for morale, not so much for progressive overload.
5. The Phantom Lifter
You never actually see them train, but you always see their towel, water bottle, and a strategically placed shaker holding a bench hostage for an hour. Mysterious. Annoying. Legendary.
6. The Encyclopaedia
They’ve watched every fitness YouTuber and read every “Top 10 Bro Science Myths” article. They’ll kindly inform you mid-set that you’re doing it wrong. Thanks, coach.
7. The Beast
Headphones in. Hood up. No eye contact. They move weight like it owes them money. Nobody knows their name, but everyone respects the vibe.
So… Which One Are You?
Truth is, most of us are a mash-up. A little selfie, a little beast, maybe a social butterfly on leg day. But whatever your type, there’s one thing we all have in common: the right kit makes every role easier. And whether you’re lifting, running, or just grunting dramatically — GymJam’s got you covered.
