Getting into fitness isn’t always about health. Sometimes, it’s about how they want to be seen and who they want seeing them.
At first, it seems harmless. They say they’re trying to feel better, get stronger, whatever. But then things start to feel a bit off.
They sign up at some random gym that doesn’t make much sense. It’s not near home, not close to work, and definitely not one you could go to together. When you ask why, they give some vague answer about the vibe or say it’s cheaper, but it doesn’t really add up.
One woman said her boyfriend would come back from ‘runs’ without being sweaty at all, not even a tiny bit. Even his shoes were clean. Another noticed her boyfriend was suddenly super tired after his workouts, but not in a “just lifted heavy” way. It felt like he’d been somewhere else entirely.
You might notice they come home smelling a little too clean. One woman said her boyfriend started smelling like expensive body wash, not the usual gym kind. More like something you'd find in a hotel, or a woman’s shower.
And something starts to feel off with their energy, too. They leave the house like it’s just another day, but come back all energized, like they’ve just had the best workout ever. But weeks go by, and their body looks exactly the same. No change in strength, no weight loss, no muscle. So what are these workouts actually doing?
Another red flag is when you suggest working out together, and they shut it down instantly. They tell you they “need that time for themselves.” Fine, but that wasn’t the vibe before.
If their new fitness routine doesn’t match the results, their attitude feels off, or their story keeps changing, it might not be about working out at all.
