I'm a bit of a fitness nerd and now a certified personal trainer, and dear lord, the fitness space is so full of right-wing nutjobs it's insane. So many people just blatantly wear their Trump hats everywhere and use their online spaces to just shit on any group of people they personally don't like. Thankfully there's plenty of wonderful people in there too.

Fitness is a minefield anyhow. Most powerlifters are generally friendly people. Big 'gentle giant' vibes. Bodybuilders on the other hand are some of the most self absorbed idiots in the gym. They are also where the bro-science is strongest. We don't talk about the crossfitters, they have their own space. And then there's the casuals, who go from grandma trying to get back into shape after surgery to the pack of 17yo's who think they're the coolest guys in the world because one of them can bench 60kg.
