This is a terrible idea!

It’s in these gyms where the whole toxically-masculine culture starts.

You need to watch the show Adolescents on Netflix.

I think toxic masculine culture starts with kids who are sitting alone in their basements. There are probably toxic gyms, but most commercial gyms are not at all like that.

LOL. So you’ve never been to a real gym, hmm?

The strongest people aren’t weak, damaged, and scared like toxically masculine boys.

I find it hard to believe these post are real. I belong to OneLife in MoCo. I go, my children go (one male, one female), my husband goes. None of us have been influenced by any toxic masculinity. This is silly. But, I think working with a trainer you like will ensure your dear sons will be protected from the bros that hang out at the gym.

Did it ever occur to you the reason women-only gyms exist?

(Hint: it’s because of the toxically-male culture which predominates all other gyms).
