Californian man is furious after claims his gym membership was revoked after being told they had received several complaints over his body odour.
Leaving the gym and taking his frustration out on Twitter, Shawn Morales of Los Angeles spilled his upset to his 1,543 Twitter followers and 5,053 Facebook fans on Wednesday - many who claimed smelling a potential lawsuit.
'2day I was told by an employee at @GoldsGym that they are going to REVOKE my membership because "10 members have complained about my BO"...?' he tweeted.
'Of course I can smell my self but obviously it doesn't bother me or my friends,' he later wrote.
The news from the actor/model - and self-described 'hairy PIT CREW guy on RuPaul's Drag Race' - came with mixed reaction from his online followers, many of whom took his side while some expressed concern for his wellbeing.
'Assuming you do all the normal things like showering and deodorant, you may also want to see a doctor...' one Twitter follower wrote appearing intending to help.
Mr Morales offered a curt reply back: ‘Of course I shower.’ The user appeared immensely apologetic.
After over a hundred comments collected revolving around his health and hygiene this week, he provided a previously missed detail to the story.
'Deodorant...I just don't like wearing it,' he wrote to one inquiring user. He called that decision a life-style choice.
'Can't say you weren't warned!!! :) Love you anyway,' a supportive user wrote on his Facebook wall.
A call to Gold’s Gym inquiring about their policy on personal hygiene and deodorant use was unsuccessful on Sunday night.
According to the facility there are eight other Gold’s Gyms in the LA area for Mr Morales to choose from - should he be provided with some arm-lifting retribution at those.

just everyone else. get the fuck out of here before you're thrown into a vat of deodorant.
While I was doing it it felt so easy, but by that night my abs were DYING. That rolling thing worked like 400 different muscles.
well, not me, but a coworker really stinks of sweat. I really dont think he uses deodorant, but the problem is we work in the medical field, so sometimes his armpits are right up in a patients face. other co workers are complaining of it, it doesn't bother me toooo much because i'm not around him all that often, but he gets picked on cause he's an easy target (super sweet, kind of a doofus) which is what bothers me the most, because he's new, and gets ragged on for so much, i'm afraid someones going to be a bitch about asking him about it.
so i'm trying to find a way to ask him without being offensive or embarrassing him and i can't think of anything :/
we're friends, i really think i could ask him about it, it's just super awkward and i don't want to make him worry about it if he's not totally aware, you know? (though i don't see how he can't be aware)
I would fucking die, no matter how nice it was worded.

honestly I don't think there's anyway to not offend with this kind of thing.
I remember in middle school one of the teachers gave our entire class deodorant samples because this one kid smelled awful.
Unless he smells like he rolled around in cat piss before hitting the gym, I don't know what the issue is.
ETA: If he doesn't wear deodorant though, he should shower right before he hits the gym, to remove any dirt/bacteria, whatever, from his skin. That should help the BO, sweat doesn't smell quite as bad by itself.
