That guy who owns a large transparent water bottle with protein shake in it who doesn’t stop talking about how often they go to the gym, how much they can lift, what type of pre-workout they use and whether it’s leg day or not. These people aren’t necessarily show offs, rather they are just very dedicated to working out to the point where they don’t have a life.
Person one to Person two: So I’m gonna hit the gym later, I really don’t want to go but I gotta work on my legs today because yesterday I did mostly upper body.
Person two to Person three: Person one is such a Gym Stan.
* This only applies to regular people, Actual athletes who have a real reason to work out in order to perform their job are exempt from being called this.

/ɑ r stæn/
Definition:
A Respectful Stan — a fan who supports an artist, creator, or public figure with genuine admiration while respecting their boundaries, privacy, and humanity.
Unlike obsessive or intrusive fandom behavior, an R-Stan believes that true support includes empathy, consent, and kindness. Being an R-Stan means celebrating someone’s work, not controlling their life.
Origin:
Coined by a fan who wanted to redefine what it means to support someone, after noticing how often the term fan is used for people who act disrespectfully toward artists.
The “R” stands for Respectful.
