gym-rat
Lifts every day
A gym-rat is someone who spends an excessive amount of time at the gym, often making fitness a central part of their identity and daily routine.
The term can be neutral or mildly teasing, depending on context: He's become a total gym-rat since he started bodybuilding.
Gym-rats are stereotypically associated with protein shakes, workout selfies, and unsolicited fitness advice.
