Aussie bloke takes drastic action after jaw-dropping comment from woman who hit on him at the GYM
A Melbourne man says he was left so uncomfortable after being hit on at the gym that he decided to switch locations altogether.
Fitness enthusiast ‘Rizzo’ was doing a workout at Derrimut 24:7 gym when he was approached by a woman who asked if she could share the equipment with him.
But according to Rizzo, what started as innocent small talk took a shocking turn when she made a jaw-dropping comment about his manhood that left him speechless.
‘She’s full of red flags. She’s got her hair all done, she’s got full makeup, like she’s about to go to prom,’ he said.
‘She’s wearing a push-up bra and a scrunch bum legging. It’s like, it’s the full look at me package. And I’m like, I don’t know if I’m gonna fall for it, you know?’ he said.
Rizzo, who describes himself as a ‘high-value man,’ claims the interaction happened when the unnamed woman said she had the same fitness routine planned.
‘You know, it’s a commercial gym. I don’t want to be rude, I don’t want to be that guy who’s like, “nah, I don’t want to share”, you know?’ he said in a now-viral TikTok video.
‘Anyway, I do my set, I let her do her set, we’re training, and then she starts saying things like, “oh, you’ve got a really nice tan, you’ve got a really nice body, how long have you been training for, are you a PT?”, and I’m like, is this girl flirting with me or am I tripping?’

After the set, Rizzo said the woman asked for his social media details before they went their separate ways.
‘She’s like, “oh, you look very familiar. I feel like I’ve seen you somewhere”. And I’m like, here we go.
‘Anyway, she’s like, “oh, do you mind giving me your Instagram?” I’m like, sure. I give her my Instagram.
‘I’m like, I have to move on to another machine. I’ve got to finish my workout. So I move on to another machine.
‘I go do my training. I finish my training and I’m about to head off, like, leave the gym. I see her sitting on one of the gym tables.
‘She makes eye contact and she’s like, “oh hey, you’re leaving”.’
It was then that Rizzo says he was left ‘lost for words’ by the woman’s directness.
‘I’m like, “oh yeah, I’m done with my session. I’m gonna go home”, and she starts making chit chat,’ he explained.

‘She’s a bit flirty and then she looks me up and down and she’s like, “oh, I can’t wait to choke on that thing”.
‘And I’m like, what? I’m baffled, you know? I’m lost for words. I don’t know what to say.’
Not wanting to make her feel uncomfortable, Rizzo said he made his excuses and left.
‘I don’t want to make it awkward. I just look at her and I’m like, “I’ll catch you around”,’ he said.
‘And I leave the gym and I’m still in disbelief. I’m like, did I just hear that? Did you just say I want to choke on that thing? What?’
Rizzo claims that as he walked to his vehicle, he bumped into one of his friends who laughed when he explained what had happened.
‘He said it’s because I’m wearing grey tracksuit pants and I’m like what? The gym is full of half naked women and you are telling me I’m the problem because I’m wearing grey tracksuit pants.
‘What’s wrong with people? What’s wrong with this generation? You are all asking me why I am still single, this is why I’m still single because no one has morals anymore everyone just wants to hook up with everyone.’
According to the Urban Dictionary, grey tracksuit pants are worn by men in order to show off their manhood.

The following day, Rizzo posted another video revealing he had changed gyms so he wouldn’t run into the woman again, and said he was sharing his story to educate others.
‘I decided not to go back to the gym I got hit on,’ he said.
‘I do value my energy, I do value my peace and I don’t go around sleeping with random people. I’m trying to do these videos so girls start preserving themselves, so guys start preserving themselves so we can build strong family units.’
After his video went viral, Rizzo claimed the woman in question reached out via his DMs.
‘She initially messaged me saying she does not regret what she said,’ he explained.
‘But she also messaged me saying she would like to apologise, she did not mean any harm, and she did not think it was anything bad – she was just bantering.’
The management team at Derrimut 24:7 gym were also alerted to the video and contacted Rizzo to ask if he would like to take matters further.
‘This is not the standard we wish to allow in our gyms and all of our members deserve to feel comfortable, respected and supported,’ their message read.
‘We were wondering if you would like to make a formal complaint and we can investigate into this matter?’
But Rizzo ultimately decided that he wanted to move on.
‘As a guy, I don’t feel threatened going to the gym or going to train with female members around so it’s not a big deal for me.’
