The gym is a place where most of us go to vent out our frustrations, where steel machines, teenage dreams, and liquid proteins are the main theme.
It's the place that promises us help in our journey to look our best ... for our Instagram feeds, of course; the space that encourages us to push ourselves to the max in hopes of earning that double cheeseburger.
Let's meet the most recurring types of Arab men you'll likely run into throughout your workout routine:
1. The Diva
His calves look like he’s secretly been walking in heels on the treadmill, years and years before you even considered a gym membership.
Either befriend him or avoid him because he catwalks his way into the gym, looking everyone up and down with his on-fleek eyebrows and the latest protein shake in his manicured hands.
2. The Muscle Man
If he were to ever run in your general direction, it's best to get out of his path.
3. The All Show No Action
Upon first sight, you’d think he’s a trainer at the gym.
But then again you’re not really sure where he gets his muscles from since you’ve never actually seen him lift anything.
4. The Lousy Lifter
He’s there every day, time and time again; and yes, it’s a miracle he hasn’t sustained any injuries yet.
He constantly pumps weights, even though he does it too fast, incorrectly, and uses the leg machine as an arm machine.
You really can’t miss him strutting around in his "Do you even lift bro?” tank top like the Arab Johnny Bravo that he is.
5. The Goal Getter
He’s chubby, out of breath, chasing his dreams, and for sure everybody’s gym spirit animal.
He sweats the most and you can hear him gasping for breath from the ground floor, but at least the man is trying!
Yet, you'd wish he wouldn't creepily stare at every girl passing by.
