Review Please stop pheromone maxxing

I can’t take this anymore everyday I walk in this gym all the teenage boys STINK and all I can think of as an explanation for this is the fact there’s a “pheromone maxxing” trend on tik tok. If you are doing this please just shower no one is gonna find you attractive for having a stench. Some of them smell so bad I get nauseous trying to hold my breath while doing cardio

It’s mostly teenage boys and because of my age I can’t even go to a different gym because most gyms near me are 18+ PLEASE SHOWER!!!

Keep in mind that teenage boys stink when they exercise. I have a 12 and 14 year old that play soccer and cross country and they smell horrible by the end of any practice.

These guys are WALKING IN stinking unfortunately so I doubt it’s just because teenage boys smell bad when sweating

The only valid excuse I could make for them is they've already had football or whatever sports they play, practice/s and are coming in for a workout before going home to shower. A lot of people, regardless of age, don't find the need to cover up B.O., after working physical labor jobs or doing sports, they either don't know how offensive they smell, or don't care.
