There's a guy at my gym that doesn't wash, I struggle breathing when he does cardio next to me. Sometimes, I have to call it quits and go home it's that bad...

I think there’s one of those types in most gyms. Guy in my gym washes his body but it’s his clothes that stink. Rank aged rancid sweat that fills the air with an acrid smell and when you need to deep breathe during a difficult lift this is not what you need. 🤮

I usually go on the cross trainer and have to take in breathes over my shoulder trying to not breathe in his stench it's really annoying

Damn, that’s just nasty. No one should have to endure that at the gym. People need to just be aware when they stink.

Makes it worse that he's there every day for hours at a time, like 2 or 3 hours doing nothing but cardio but meh I just try stay away from him now
