workout warriors

Fitness fanatics together

Workout warriors are people intensely devoted to exercise, particularly gym culture.

The term can be admiring—acknowledging dedication and discipline—or gently mocking those who treat fitness as an identity or obsession: The workout warriors were already there when the gym opened at 5 AM.

Sometimes describes weekend athletes who train hard but inconsistently.
