I’m a gym girl – a ‘Karen’ told me not to workout in leggings because of her husband staring, I had the perfect response

A FITNESS fan has clapped back at a “Karen” who criticized her style choices in the gym.

She said that the unsolicited advice included wearing sweat pants to keep her husband from checking her out.

Mandya (@mandygonewild) showed herself positioned in front of the Smith machine, prepared to pump some iron.

“When the gym ‘Karen’ complained about me and said I should workout in sweats because her husband won’t stop staring at me,” she said in the video.

Mandya then bent over, removed her sweat pants, and revealed her purple “booty scrunch” leggings underneath.

The fit gym girl stunned in her skin tight athletic wear.

The slick response to a disgruntled “Karen” went viral on TikTok.

Viewers, stunned by Mandya’s cheekiness, expressed their thoughts in the comment section.

“I can understand Karen’s concern,” one wrote.

“I wouldn’t stop staring either,” another added.

“Perfect response,” a third commented.

“I’d never complain about that,” yet another wrote. “You’re pure motivation.”

“I’d be looking cuz I want to have a booty like this,” one more said.

The video came as part of a trend of women showing themselves working out in the gym on social media.

The gym girls are sharing the perks of building muscle and inspiring others with their fitness.

Many, like Mandya, are also expressing concern with gym dress code and calling out style-shamers.
