AlexGetting closer to the summer period I'm used seeing more and more peeps running to the gym in a hurry to get in shape for the bikini/trunk season.
Honestly? It's not that bad! The only counterpart is that you have to wait a bit more for a machine or doing an exercise, no biggie; in fact, you can switch and don't let your body get used to the same movement over and over.
Anyway, most of these people get welcomed by "regulars" talking and joking about them behind their backs, which is an awful demonstration of the toxic culture at the gym.
Exhibit A: the last week a young girl came and was wearing a sorta gym veil to cover their hair (I don't recall the specific name of the veil, sorry). Quite normal, isn't it? Well, she was welcomed by smirks and some of the "regulars" talking about how it was becoming more and more of a SPA and they should start coming with their shower caps too.
FUCK.
THIS.
Exhibit B: I was about to shower this morning after working out and a "regular" came into the locker room, tried to pick up a beef with me because I chose "their shower stall". After telling them that I was alone in the locker room earlier and that we were in a public place they proceeded to storm out the locker room slamming the door.
FUCK.
THIS.
And fuck general bullying.
I won't be silent anymore, this has to stop.
