Whichever gym you go to, you’ve likely spotted an array of characters working out nearby. We’ve all seen the “Selfie Goddess” with her flawlessly coifed ‘do, makeup perfectly in place, and striking the most flattering pose to share on social media. Finding “Jack the Ripped” means locating the guy grunting loudly as he does an extreme bench press during his second workout of the day. He’ll stop only to down a protein shake. Of course, “That Guy/Gal” — the one ridiculously comfortable in his or her own skin and wants the world to know it — is less likely to be on the workout floor and is more easily found wandering around the locker room, shower, or steam room in their birthday suit.

Funny cartoons!!
I think I have encountered each one at my gym. I aspire to be one of those gym moms!
I absolutely have to share this with my daughter. She’s at the gym every day!
This made me laugh out loud! It’s missing just one – Me! The “I don’t want to be here, I hate my trainer and this is hard, let me catch my breath, Water! I need water! Oh god it’s only been 5 minutes. “
Oh I can totally relate there! After a particularly tough day at the gym I had walked into the restroom and looked into the mirror only to be horrified at my red face, my hair wet with sweat, and looking like a hot mess. I was definitely not the Selfie Goddess that day.
I’ve been a personal trainer in Chicago for the last 10 years, and this list couldn’t be any more true….except the personal trainer profile, of course 🙂
