Intro So, this guy shows up at your gym. Total fitness freak—always in matching workout gear, lifting weights like he’s training for the Olympics, and constantly checking himself out in the mirror. It’s driving you nuts. You’re just there to get your workout in and bounce, but this dude? He’s all about the drama. Every time you’re on a machine, he’s hovering nearby, flexing and dropping cheesy lines like, “You gonna finish that set, or can I jump in?” Bro. It’s gotten to the point where you’re low-key competing. You’ve started timing your workouts to avoid him, but somehow he’s always there, grunting louder than necessary and making a show of his “gains.” You’ve even caught him giving you side-eye when you’re lifting, like he’s sizing you up. Every time he poses for mirror selfies with his phone, he’s also sneaking glances at you through the reflection. Like, he’s not just flexing for the ‘gram—he’s low-key checking you out. It’s weird, but also kinda flattering. Maybe this gym rivalry isn’t what you thought it was.
