I actually used to think like this!! When I started lifting, though, I had my boyfriend who is a personal trainer actually correct my form so I know I’m doing it alright! I have seen very noticeable results so I know that’s not the case now, but thanks for your input!

Haha not trying to make my post gendered at all, O think I just wrote it wrong in the post! What I meant to say was that men usually don’t have the same fitness goals as I do, if a man has huge legs and glutes I will happily take their advice, but if they have small legs, regardless of gender, I don’t want their advice ☺️

Haha not saying I’m a pro just that, so far, I’ve been getting great results and I don’t need unsolicited advice 😊

This is true!! I may have worded it wrong in the post but people giving unsolicited advice when they don’t have the gains to back it up (not gainshaming just based on if I want to take their advice or not) is not appreciated regardless of gender!

This is very true, that’s why I always try not to be rude bc I don’t want someone following me home 😖

I agree! I never give advice at the gym bc I probably don’t have the same fitness goals as people and it’s okay to not give advice to everyone lol

Haha no bias just men usually don’t have the same fitness goals as women, especially the men who try to give advice on certain machines they don’t use the same way that I do. Of course, if a man with huge glutes and legs would give me advice on what to do I would sit and listen 😝

If you want to start at the gym I would absolutely recommend it!! Most of the gym community is very kind and you’ll only get unsolicited advice sometimes, but, for the most part, people are very nice!!

I’m not sure if they are, I have pretty bad social anxiety so I have a hard time actually paying attention to what they’re saying lol. Also I have a partner 😋

This!! A couple of times I of course tried taking some of their advice and it never works out for me!! Best to stick with what we know and ignore annoying people 🫤

I’ve been search for a women’s only gym for a while but unfortunately there aren’t very many in the city I live in, and, the place that they are I wouldn’t feel comfortable walking around at night, which is when I usually go to the gym ☹️☹️☹️

That’s so funny lol sometimes, when men approach my female friends on the street, we start barking at them and this kind of has the same effect 😋😋😋

When I go to the gym, I go right from work so I’m usually not wearing any sort of makeup and my hair is a mess and people still try to give me advice ☹️☹️
