fitness obsession
Compulsive workout habit
Fitness obsession describes an excessive preoccupation with exercise, body composition, or physical performance that dominates a person's time and mental energy.
Unlike healthy dedication to fitness, the obsessive version interferes with relationships, work, and wellbeing: His fitness obsession meant he couldn't enjoy a meal without calculating macros.
The line between commitment and obsession often involves rigidity—inability to skip workouts, distress over minor dietary lapses, or exercising through injury.
