Notes -
I grunt when my body is about to give out, or when I am seriously pushing myself well beyond a previous PR. Otherwise, I do my best to keep it to myself, nobody signed up to hear any of that.
I will tell you that - in the gyms that have had the misfortune of hosting me - I have heard very little grunting. This guy is probably being performative, seeking attention for what he believes are actions at the peak of the human physique. Maybe he wants that unattainably beautiful woman to glance his way? You're just caught up in his auditory net.
What to do about it? I'd go for noise canceling headphones, or that failing, a word with staff. I bring the former along just in case they're playing god awful music today.
The music is always godawful, but I have a thing against blocking out ambient noise in a public space. I know that is not normal.
It's interesting if this dude wants attention, because he seems so un-selfaware that he also seems unaware of everyone else. I suspect some sort of autistic tendency but whatever. I'll probably just fucking deal with it. (Also not to awooga again but the siren-y girl only showed up once, thank the Olympians.)
