Going to the gym is a huge trend in modern society. Many people possess several different motives in doing so. No one is forced to go to the gym; as a matter of fact it is not free to go, therefore people are literally paying to use these facilities. These actions then define individuals as specific labels of gym members.
There are the friendly gym buffs. There are always the men, and sometimes the women, who have evident muscles, as well as know what they are doing when it comes to fitness, equipment, and gym etiquette. These fitness freaks are usually incredibly helpful, and are willing to assist anyone in need. If they are in exceptionally kindhearted mood, they are even willing to spot others. This is done if another member needs help on a heavy or final set, and that fact appears apparent. These pros never have unnecessary comments to throw at the beautiful women working on their health nearby. Their purpose is never to belittle others not as glorious as them, just the assist in any minor way they can.
There is a counter part to this sort of gym buff, which can be labeled as the rude gym buff. These members are no so compassionate towards the weak, or another individual for that matter. Thoroughly enjoying flaunting their superior ability, the rude gym buffs are solely to show off their bodies and strength. They believe they impress others, but in actuality the fellow gym members’ objectives are to just get a chance to train the piece of equipment this macho meathead has been hogging forever. If they show up just to spend an unreasonably extended amount of time on one machine, they need to cancel their membership and purchase that specific equipment for their home in order for the public to finally get the opportunity to exercise as opposed to just them.
On the other extreme end of the spectrum lies an equally, if not more, annoying species of gym member who is often sighted monthly. Typically females, this group of individuals is the “I’m just here to take pictures and post about it”. It is apparent that their tactics for getting attention they so desperately crave is arriving at the fitness center in the latest fashion of workout attire by Nike or Target and no absolutely nothing that will actually improve their physical health. They refuse to sweat because “that’s gross”, so the entire purpose of going to this facility is escaped. They have their makeup freshly painted off and refuse to allow their masterpiece of a mask to get smudged. Other sightings can be in locker room where it is possible to witness them in the act of their art form, applying more makeup. A thick aroma emulates from their pores and clogs the lung of fellow memberships who are actually increasing their heart rate. Their objective can be discovered and understood by viewing their social networking sites and witnessing posts about being fit and going to the gym with the occasional picture in the gym. The gym mirrors were not installed for these females to take narcissistic pictures of themselves. Never the less, there networking followers are not amused and neither are the members around them. The individuals tend to leave after a short time of being there.
Around where the photos were being taken, you can discover the lighter dumbbells, as well as the friendly older people. These men and women are admirably trying to keep their physically being in check at their age in order to expand their diminishing time on this earth. The elderly are friendly and through their long time of being around have meet and know the employees and regular gym members. When they are not participating in a class and are found in the cardio and weight rooms, they will have subtle conversations about people’s family and the weather, while in between workouts. Occasionally, they will engage the person next to them during a workout into small talk, such as asking about stocks to the women running at seven miles per hour on the treadmill next to them as they walk at a steady pace. They are trying their hardest, and thankfully they are usually in positive spirits due to the endorphins.
Majority of members are not these extremes. There is a vast group, which most qualify into, and this group is the average person who is just there for the sake of exercise. These people try workout for their health or to lose weight. They know what they are doing, but will ask for help or instructions when needed. Other the other side they are willing to assist new comers who seem in minor need. Their social networks are not updated every time they go because they are there to achieve self-improvement not impress others.
Everyone possesses different reasoning for joining a gym. A membership is an investment. If action denotes character, then fitness habits denote the type of gym member an individual classifies as.
