    Issue is, gymbros are the worst gatekeepers. They either think they can turn everyone into a top atlete by demanding everyone to act like one, or want to “keep it a niche”.

    Yes, a lot of counterexamples exist. So are a lot of counterexamples to techbros, toxic gamers, etc., but when people talk about toxicity within these circles, they’re not talking about the good ones, and even “gradual toxicity” also do exist sometimes.

      You don’t need a gym to lose weight. The only thing that works is calorie reduction. You won’t find that in a gym.

        It’s simple math, burn more than you eat. Americans take the elevator to the gym on the second floor.

          Eh. Whatever gets people in the door and doing SOMETHING is fine. But you can’t gym your way skinny.

          Strength is made in the gym.

          Abs are made in the kitchen.
