r/Gymsnark Wiki

Check out the Wiki for fitness-related recommendations and FAQ.

Please familiarise yourself with the rules before participating:

1. What counts as r/gymsnark worthy?

Any fitness-related business or Fitfluencer who sells fitness-related content, is branded a fitness account, or is sponsored by a fitness-related company. It is ok to post non-fitness related snark if the person is a fitfluencer. However, if the person isn’t a fitfluencer, the snark must be fitness related. Posts may be removed at mod discretion.

2. Do not dox/threaten/harass influencers or their families.

Posting screenshots of DMs to any influencer will be removed. Do not post about messaging influencers or affiliates or encourage others to do so. If you do and they block you, keep it to yourself. Do not contact sponsors or employers of influencers. Do not post personal information about fitfluencers. This is considered harassment. If you violate this rule your post will be removed and you may face a ban. Snark from afar.

3. Do not dox, threaten, or harass other community members.

Be kind to each other. Disagreement is okay, but abusive language and name calling is not. Malicious behavior with the intent to mentally or physically harm another community member is not allowed. This includes threatening, stalking, or posting private information about a community member or their families, and/or encouraging a community member to harm themselves or someone else. Failure to follow this rule results in a permanent ban.

4. No unflaired, ambiguous, or low effort posts.

Posts must include flair when available, posts without flair must include the subject's name IN THE TITLE or they will be removed. Posts must also include context. No "thoughts on..." posts without including your thoughts on that person/subject.

5. Identifying info (faces & usernames) of minor children & non-influencer adults must be censored.

Please edit your screenshots before posting. Social media handles of non-influencers must be censored, including in the likes of an IG post. Minors and non-influencer adults did not consent to being posted online and posting about them can get our sub removed for harassment. If you fail to censor identifying info, your post will be deleted.

6. No Bigotry.

While profanity is acceptable, r/gymsnark has a zero tolerance policy on content that is deemed racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, xenophobic, antisemitic, or ableist. Users will be permanently banned for breaking this rule and their comments and/or posts will be removed.

7. No pregnancy speculation If an influencer has announced their pregnancy publicly then it may be posted as a congratulatory post only. Any posts or comments that go beyond this will be removed.

8. Appearance snark and shaming

Do not comment about a person's weight, face, boob job, stretch marks, belly button, cellulite or rolls etc. Posts about camel toe will be removed (we don't need entire posts dedicated to this), individual comments are allowed as long as they are not vulgar. Do not comment negatively about a person's height as this is something they can not change. Do not snark on the appearance of children.

9. No mental health speculation.

No one is qualified to diagnose anyone they have never met. Any posts or comments speculating about mental illness will be removed and the user given a warning. Calling out disordered habits is allowed, but do not simply state "she has an ED". If an influencer speaks publicly about their struggles with food, discussion will be allowed, snark will be removed. Posts discussing ED must be clearly labelled NSFW and with the Trigger Warning flair.

10. Repeat posts

Search before you post or sort by new. Repeat posts will be deleted. Do not post deleted information or resources to find it. Check the Wiki before asking for recommendations - your question may have already been answered.

11. No spam or self-promotion.

Do not post spam or promote your own work. This includes link to personal shops, affiliate links, and crossposting from other similar subreddits. Check out the about section for similar subs to post non-r/gymsnark related content.

12. Health-related topics. Misinformation will be removed and the user will be given one warning before being banned. This includes, but is not limited to, discussions on birth control, healthcare, COVID-19, monkeypox, vaccines of any sort and masks etc.
