Local gym enforcer at the center of the weirdest freeze-out I've ever seen

So, I’m at the gym doing my usual set when this guy, you know, the big red-haired trainer with the floral tattoos, just walks up to this person at the squat rack and holds his hand out. Didn’t say a word. Just stood there like a stone wall until they finished their set, then silently pointed at the door. He literally cleared the entire free-weight area just to make sure they had nowhere to go but out. He’s usually the chillest guy, but his face was pure ice today. People are saying it’s about some drama with his best friend, but since when does a trainer have the authority to exile a member? Just feels way too personal for a guy who’s supposedly just a 'peacekeeper'.

Does he even have a reason to act like this? Or is he just doing it because he's told to?

Reply to anon_weight_dude: The guy is loyal to a fault. It's scary.

It’s definitely about 's boy, Jax. The rumor is they had a messy breakup, and apparently, Ryker has decided he’s the judge, jury, and executioner.

Reply to local_gossip_king: That makes zero sense. Jax is the one who's always stirring the pot.

Something doesn't add up. Why didn't the other person fight back?

Wait, did anyone ask him why? I tried to ask him what was up and he just stared right through me.

I don't think it's just 'loyalty'. Look at his face. That's a guy who feels betrayed, not just protecting a friend.

I was there too. He didn't even yell. The silence was the worst part.

Honestly, watching him be so hostile to someone he used to be friendly with is just painful. Why is he so blind to what's actually happening?

I saw that! He looked like he was vibrating with rage. I’ve never seen him act like that, even when people break the biggest gym rules.
