10 Thoughts We’ve All Had While At the Gym

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Pitt chapter.

Gyms have become a booming business in the last couple of years with the start of LA Fitness, Planet Fitness, and other popular gyms. For some, going to the gym has become a part of their everyday life because they love it. Others hate the gym and literally have to be dragged there. Now, even if you’ve only been to the gym once in your life, you have probably had these 10 thoughts:

1. How do I look right now?

How you hope to look:

How you actually look: 

Yes, even now you worry about your image, but guess what? You can’t always look good. Unless you’re this guy…

2. How the h*ll is he/she doing that?

There will always be that one person at the gym doing something unbelievable.

3. Am I doing this right?

If you ever try new equipment at the gym, this thought will be running through your head because you don’t want to look like the person above.

4. Who’s that attractive girl/guy?

Everyone knows what I’m talking about. When you go the gym and an attractive person is working out near you, you can’t help but keep glancing at them.

5. Who’s the creep?

This is the person that is constantly staring at you…

6. What are they doing here?

For some reason, whenever you go to the gym, you see someone you know and all you ask yourself is, “why?”

7. What can I get to eat when I’m done?

No explanation needed.

8. How many calories have I burned?

You obviously go to the gym for a reason, so why not know what you’ve achieved?

9. Can I go to bed yet?

Come on, if you go to the gym you will probably be exhausted afterward.

10. I’m Done!

There will come a time when you are fed up with working out and just want to go home.

Hi everyone, my name is Alex and I am a sophomore English major at Pitt. I love to read and I am obsessed with sports, be it soccer, football, volleyball, etc. I watch it. I am originally from Philly so Eagles fan all the way and before you ask I prefer Geno's over Pat's but Dalessandro's over Geno's. This is my first year writing for her campus and I am excited to see what happens:).
