I don’t know where in history it became unacceptable to let out a grunt while lifting weights or to drop your dumbbells on the floor. People working out are loud, it’s not your fucking privilege to have a low decibel level in a gym. Even if I was screaming, who is it hurting? Gyms should be expected to be more of a loud environment. Silence should be the exception not the norm, people who want silence are the minority and they should have to schedule their quiet times in a manner that doesn’t interfere normal every day gym goers.
“Even if I was screaming, who is it hurting?” people with sensory issues like myself, overstimulation literally hurts … please try to be mindful in public.
They really don’t. There’s a difference between silence, being loud/yelling, and using controlled breathing and noise when lifting. Only the “being loud/yelling” one is stupid and annoying and disruptive.
