Being interrupted while working out by someone to make random comments on your form and giving you tips on how to boost your glutes sounds very different to me than this. The girl here absolutely deserved to be roasted. The booty queens recording their hip thrusts while wearing full make-up and minimum clothes just to get a chance to accuse random guys of leering at them are a species that really needs to go extinct.

This. If you're a regular, call him out in front of other regulars. If he has any shame, he'll find a new gym


This. It will let other people know he’s bothering you. Embarrassment is a powerful tool.

Keep the music and work out going. Look annoyed. If he persists, then comment “I don’t appreciate when you interrupt my work out time with your inappropriate comments.”

Welcome to the world of being attractive at a gym. Seriously just tell him to knock it off and move on. Happens to me all the time. It’s annoying, but so commonplace at gyms. flash that silicone ring and get back to working out.
