Gym bros at my gym I appreciate:
The super focused guys who say nothing except to quietly and politely check in if I'm using a piece of equipment near me before they grab it
The nice old guy doing genuinely impressive box jumps who told me I'm crushing it on my barbell lifts
The jacked flamboyant guy with the lime green and pink athletic shoes who lifts like he's training for the fucking hunger games and now always says hi to me when we pass each other in the lobby ever since I told him I like his shoes
The gruff guy who checked in with me if I felt safe lifting without a spotter before he left since we were the only two people in the gym at the time and I would be lifting 100% alone once he was out the door
Everyone who wipes down the equipment and puts it away when they're done
Gym bros I don't appreciate:
The teenage boys who decide the dumbbell section is their personal hangout space and have social hour in it chatting and doing nothing for ages while I AM TRYING TO DO ARM DAY, GODDAMMIT, CHILD, MOVE!
