The gym can anyway be an annoying place if you’re the type who’d rather just spend time in bed in your jammies eating donuts, Netflix being the only place you’d associate your marathons with. I relate, homies.

However, for some, it’s a holy place where you go in frustrated, and come out all refreshed. I relate to that too.

You know what’s the best, though? An empty gym. Too bad it’s rarely the case. A crowded gym is tolerable as well, if you don’t run into certain specimens. We’re talking about gym nightmares, the ones you’d do well to avoid at all costs. You know who we’re talking about, don’t you?

In case anyone needed a reminder, here’s a comprehensive list of the 7 most annoying people you’ll see at the gym, ranked in order of increasing annoyance.

7. The Annoying Grunter

There’s nothing wrong in grunting when lifting heavy, as it’s natural and the body’s way of coping with the lift. But we’re not complaining about the rightful grunters here. We’re referring to the attention-seeking, annoying ones who grunt no matter what, even when there’s absolutely no need to. You’d think they’re birthing inside the gym while lifting 10 kg dumbbells. Go yell at home, suckas!

6. The ‘Half Rep Max Weights’ Bhaiya

We all have seen this guy. He will collect every single plate available around, and load up. Be it the squat rack or the leg press or deadlift zone, this guy just needs to make sure the weights are all maxed out. However, what does he do once he’s done loading all the plates? Does a huge grunt, and does half a rep. And he’s done! Bro, what was the point of it all? Your form is shit and you won’t be able to lift even half of this weight with proper form. Grow up, you man-child!

5. The ‘Muft Ka Gyaan For Ladies’ Wale Bhaiya

If it isn’t the womanizer in disguise, yuck. This guy thinks that the gym is the physical manifestation of Tinder. Instead of focusing on his own workout, he will lurk around trying to spot women in the gym who are newbies, and would strike an unwanted conversation with them, trying to shell out unasked for ‘advice’. Bro, you’re just being a creep and women are smart enough to understand that. Just stop, please.

4. Mr/Miss Call Centre

This gentleman/lady comes to the gym to talk. That’s about it. They will never keep their phone down, and will discuss everything from their neighbours eloping to their boss having an affair, loudly. What’s worse? They will occupy an equipment while doing that, while someone who genuinely needs it would be standing nearby, waiting for them to finish. You guys suck and should not be allowed inside a gym. I said what I said.

3. The ‘Equipment Hadapne Wala’ Gang

This is usually a ‘gym bro gang’ with at least 2 to multiple people in it. They will have coordinated workouts, and would walk around the gym like they own it. They will occupy multiple pieces of equipment for long durations, taking turns and not allowing anyone else to use them till they are done. If your gym has a single squat rack/deadlift zone, and you end up having your leg day on the same day as theirs, you have my sympathies my man.

2. Mr/Miss ‘Paseene Ki Badboo’

This person has the money to buy a gym membership, but can’t spend money on towels or deodorants. They sweat a lot, and then don’t wipe the equipment after they are done. Also, they smell like a bag of dead turtles. You’d feel like sanitizing them too along with the equipment they’ve used if you care about personal hygiene or have a nose.

1. The ‘Gyaani Baba’ Bhaiya

This one is the worst of the lot. His favourite catchphrase is: “Galat kar rahe ho!”. He loves correcting your technique while not knowing the correct form himself. He will show you random WhatsApp forwards as ‘his research’, and will get on your nerves effortlessly. He criticizes everything and everyone, and judges anyone with a great physique accusing them of steroid usage. He also thinks protein supplements count as steroid and takes great pride in not having a ‘dabbe wali body’. Avoid him like the plague.
