In the world of functional fitness, there are many stereotypes. The cherry picker, the barbell guru, the cardio bunny, the list goes on.

If you are an avid gym goer have you ever wondered what kind of fitness stereotype most aligns with your workout style?

We will break down some of the popular fitness stereotypes and let you decide which you feel best matches your fitness vibe.

Don’t be afraid to send to a friend and let them know which gym junkie made you think of them!

Cardio Bunny Chris: He is the athlete e who primarily focuses on cardiovascular exercises. Run a mile in a warm-up? Chris is jazzed. Long cardio WODs are his absolute jam and he probably is already signed up for the local 5k or marathon.

Cherry Picker Chelsea: Chelsea knows what brings her joy and she will not stray. She purposely looks at the workouts days before and only shows up for certain exercises or workouts while avoiding others. We’ve all been a Cherry Picker Chelsea, and that’s okay. Sometimes you just have to do what brings you joy in your training!

Barbell Guru Barb: Barb knows her way around the weight room. She is highly knowledgeable and experienced in the use of barbells for strength training and weightlifting. Everyone asked Barb for tips and ques for their Olympic lifts.

Overly Competitive Oliver: Oliver treats everything, including the warmup, as a competition. Oftentimes Oliver will look at the “leaderboard” or watch others to make sure he wins. He is always trying to one-up other athletes, even in an easy recovery WOD.

Injury-Prone Inrene: We all have that friend who no matter if it’s running, jump rope, gymnastics, or barbell cycling. They always seem to have the worst luck when it comes to injuries. They even seem to injure themselves MORE outside than the gym.

Anti-Cardio Andy: Andyshares a lot in common with the cherry picker, but they tend to ONLY participate in barbell and gymnastics/skill-focused workouts. They will do anything to avoid run, row, ski, bike, etc. (Can’t say we blame them)

Paleo Penelope: She encompasses all the different diets that come with gym culture. She will comes to class and will participate in any workout, but is not down for after WOD pizza, or gluten. (This can apply to Carnivore Calvin, Vegan Vanessa, Wholefood Willy, etc.) 

Gym Rat Rachel: Lives and breathes the gym! Often posting about her workouts and achievements all over social media. She is the ultimate hype woman and is motivational AF. If you are, or know a Rachel, tell her to tag us ;).

Masters Athlete Mary: Whether she is 35 or 65 Mary will let you know she is a masters athlete. She is super dedicated and ready to kick anyone’s butt. She is an athlete who had a second competitive awakening with CrossFit and are ready to bring the heat in the gym.

Fitness Mom/Dad: They have no time for BS and are usually running around the gym. They are a true superhuman going from work to the gym, to their kid's soccer game all in one day. They seem to have it all together and have to balance work, life, and their health. You don’t mess with the fitness parent.

Muscle-Bound Michael: He is ALL about the gains. Stretching? Don’t know her. Cardio? Hard no. Michael is trying to get as bulky as possible, don’t get in the way of him and the free weights.

Social Butterfly Sara: She is friends with EVERYONE. Sara is the ultimate community girly. She can have a conversation with anyone, anywhere and she is your favorite member to introduce new people to as she will always make a good first impression. We all aspire to be like her, but our social anxiety holds us back every time.

Fashionista Fiona: Fiona has the BEST workout clothes. She always has the NEW lifters, and the best workout accessories, and knows when popular apparel brands have a new launch. She may be head to toe in matching sets and always has the best hairstyles.

Influencer Isaac: Isaac is always snapping gym selfies and filming his workout videos for his social media followers. He tries to not get in your way, but he will make sure his tripod is set up in the BEST lighting of the gym.
