Infact, many women have shared their unpleasing gym experiences on social media and one female gymgoer even shared a hack of painting a "hickey" onto her neck to deter any male attention.

Athlete Libby Christensen (@libbychristensen) recently took to TikTok to share the clip, which she captioned: "ty for your service kind sir."

In the video, Christensen can be seen doing the forefront and as she performed her workout, the guy sitting behind her makes sure to not make the athlete uncomfortable with his presence just behind her, and keeps his eyes on the floor until he is ready to resume his own workout.

On the video, Christensen wrote: "I just need to shout out this man who was behind me while I was hack squatting [because] I was so uncomfy that I was being stared down but very thankful that my booty was not his focus."

She added that after watching the video back, she "felt at ease".

The video has gone viral and has been viewed some 4 million times with many commentators sharing their own thoughts and experiences.

One TikToker wrote: "This is gym code 101 for any decent guy. Head stays looking at the ground or your phone till your done with the set."

A second commented: "Every man should have this respect for a woman lifter beside them."

Another added: "Anytime I'm in this situation I always try to start my set the same time he does so I don't make him uncomfortable."

And sharing a male perspective on the situation, one guy wrote: "When I’m in this position at the gym I have to move in fear of the woman thinking I’m a creep. The uncomfortable feeling goes both ways sometimes."

To this, the athlete replied: "Most definitely feel you here! It’s hard to gauge [people's] intentions especially when we all walk around in silence!"

As a matter of fact, the gym should be a place where people come to unwind and relax and so it should be comfortable for everyone irrespective of gender.
