There is no scarcity of weird people in the world. Look for one and you come across thousands. But we usually cannot spare more than a glance for these bizarre characters in our day to day lives. But when you are in the gym, working out by yourself, you have all the time in the world to observe people around you. Gym members meet a special set of people and get to observe their funny peculiarities.

If you are a regular gym member, then these are 'types' of weird people you are bound to come across.

Weird Characters People Meet In Gyms:

1. The Health Freak: It is one thing to be health conscious and quite another to be a health freak. This will be a moderately built guy who has an irritating friendly smile fixed on his face. He will behave as if you have been the best of chums forever and tell you how much gyming has helped him. The positivity coming from him is so overwhelming that it seems fake.

2. Mirror Mirror On The Wall: Your gym is a place that has mirrors on all sides. Ever wondered why? It is a narcissist's paradise. Have you not seen that hottie from your neighbourhood fix her hair while running on the treadmill? She is not alone; you will see many weird people playing 'mirror mirror on the wall' while working out.

3. The Meat Shop: These types of bizarre people actually look like meat shops with two legs. They are so beefed up that they cannot see their own feet. You cannot call them health conscious because they live on protein shakes and muscles. These 'big' guys will try to behave as if you are just a spec in their presence but do not take any notice of it.

4. Fainting Fantasies: Do you have any anorexic girl in your gym who faints while working out? Then your gymming experience is complete. These types are probably starving themselves to get a size zero figure. They are coming to the gym only to get brownie points. It is more sad than funny to see these skinny little things fainting to achieve something that is so elusive.

5. The Psychopath: He uses the locker nest to yours, showers in the next cubicle, runs on the treadmill next to you for 20 minutes but you don't know anything about him. In fact, he looks as if he will punch you if you dared to ask! What logical conclusion can you draw from this? He is either a social outcast or a psychopath.

6. Hips Don't Lie: But intentions do. We are talking about the voluptuous diva of your gym. Have you ever imagined that walking on the elliptical could be an exercise in seduction? She will teach you that and much more.

If you are a gym member then these weird people will cross your path. So, might as well have some fun with them.
