I always wondered if I was the only one who noticed the surplus of men at gyms who grunt, take up too much space, smell bad, and sweat buckets.
After a quick Twitter search, I realized I was not alone in this observation. I made a post of my findings that resonated with many. So here are 18 more tweets about men being awful at the gym:

At the gym, these guys were grunting doing weights, a man on the treadmill was hacking his guts out. A woman doing lunges turned to me and said “sorry for breathing so loud”. And that’s everything you need to know about how men and women take up space.

PROTIP: If you squeal excitedly as if you've seen a kitten and exclaim "He do a BIG shout!" at the guys at the gym who howl like they're in labor while lifting, it turns out they do not, in fact, want that kind of attention

today 2 grown men at the gym were saying how they refuse to train legs on the same day as me because it’s embarrassing that I squat more than them and I can’t believe that my literal bum is out here dismantling the patriarchy
