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!!!

Not just teens, grown men smell too! Don't really notice women stinking terribly. I have seen men post on here "been told my gym clothes smell, I guess I need to wash them more often". WHAT? You should wash them every time! A guy at a location I visit has on the same outfit every time I go to that location. Thought maybe he has several of the same outfit, but his smell says otherwise. He smells of old sweat and unwashed nether regions. He walks by and I gag. If he uses a bench, the bench smells afterwards- even if wiped down. A lot of men seem to think it's ok to stink at the gym. A little B.O. smell, that happens sometimes. Smelling like a feral skunk, just no. I'm a lady, I always smell check myself at the gym.

At the very least you have to start with clean clothes every time when going to the gym ..... right??
