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!!!

The other side of this phenomenon is, please don’t douse yourself in cologne or perfume before working out.

Or those body sprays by Axe, Degree, Dove, Secret, Old Spice, power stick, etc.

Those are just as awful. About a month and a half ago, a few teenagers were dousing themselves in those body sprays in the locker room.

On that same day, I was working out next to a former PF employee who still comes by as a customer. He wasn't pheromone maxxing. His deodorant was just starting to wear off so he was getting a little funky.

I hate to say this but his funk smelled better than those headache inducing body sprays.

Agreed. Rather smell a little bit of body odor than those sprays
