How to Spot a Gym Rat

by clairet

This is part 3/3 of my Crucible creations blog posts. You can also read my First and Second post of Crucible creations. We have just finished reading a play called The Crucible. This play deals with a lot of themes including revenge, injustice, witchery, and more. For this assignment we have to focus in on one of the theme and make a creation for it. We then had to put it in a blog post. For my final post in this assignment I read an essay called, How to Spot a Witch, so I had to make a creation that shows how to spot something. I chose to show you how to spot a gym rat.

In case you don’t know, a gym rat is a person who spends all of their leisure time in a gym or playing sports. They love working out and do it as much as possible. Some gym rats are harder to spot than others but the average gym rat is quite noticeable. Here is how to spot a gym rat.

What They Wear:

Most gym rats always dress like they are going to the gym. This way they can always be ready for a workout. They wear athletic clothing everywhere they can including work, shopping, and out for dinner. Click the bars to read more.

On Top

Most gym rats wear tank tops, even when it’s cold. They do this so everyone can always see the muscles they worked so hard to get. If they aren’t wearing a tank top they are probably wearing some other kind of an athletic shirt. If it is realllllllly cold outside they will put on a jacket, but they will take it off as soon as they get inside so you can see their muscles.

On the Bottom

Most gym rats only wear athletic wear for their bottoms. For men it’s most commonly gym shorts. They even wear shorts when it’s winter! Women most commonly wear leggings or yoga pants. They will even wear them to fancy occasions with a nice top. If they aren’t wearin* shorts or leggings, they are probably wearing sweat pants, but those are mostly worn on their days off which don’t happen very often.

Shoes and Accessories

Gym rats don’t wear many accessories, but the ones they do wear make it really obvious that they love to workout. They are ALWAYS wearing training shoes, and if they aren’t than there is probably something wrong with them. Gym rats often have a fit bit or Apple Watch. This way they can track their fitness at all times. If they have a bag with them it will probably be a gym bag or a drawstring bag. The gym rats with long hair will also probably have a hair elastic around their wrist so they can put their hair up at any time.

What They Say:

To be honest, most gym rats will probably tell you that they go to the gym a lot to make sure you know that they work out, but if they don’t here are a few things they might say to let you know they are a gym rat. If you go out for dinner, they will probably mention something about the diet they are on to help them get more muscle. If you go for a walk, they will probably complain about how sore they are from their workout. If you try and make plans with them, they will probably say they can’t because they have plans to go to the gym. Even if they don’t specifically tell you that they go to the gym a lot, a gym rat will always find a way to let you know.

What They Do:

A gym rat often does a lot of little things that help you to spot them. One thing they do is try to make plans to do things that will show off their muscles. Examples of these things include, going to the beach, doing something athletic (rock climbing, kayaking, etc.), or going shopping for athletic wear. Another things they do is try to show off their strength. They can do this by offering to open something for you, and offering to help carry heavy stuff.

I hope this helps you to spot a gym rat!
