hello citizens of burbank!

i’ve been trying my best to workout the past year or so, but life hit me pretty hard recently and i’ve been majorly slacking off throughout this last month.

i’m wondering if there’s anyone in the area that’d be interested in being a workout buddy, hopefully to keep us both accountable? we can just make sure we’re both going, or we can build a routine and workout together – while i don’t mind locking in with music or a podcast, every now and then the solo reps do get kinda boring. 😂 would love someone to share progress and chats with!

for reference, i’m 26 and assigned male at birth, but am currently exploring a more feminine gender identity. open to responses from both men and women, but i am mainly focusing lower body & glutes, so i figure women may have more similar goals/regimens! i usually only do strength-training, but sometimes mix in some cardio on the stairmaster or treadmill.

i've been going to blink fitness, but have a pass that gets me into most chain gyms! if you’re interested, just hit me up and hopefully we can work something out! let’s get these gainsssss.

💪🏻🏃🏻🍑

just as a foreword note: as you can probably tell from my broader shoulders, i am amab (assigned male at birth) – i’ve been exploring a non-binary, feminine identity and am finally trying to embrace my natural body type (rather than hide it away in embarrassment) ✨ just giving a heads up since i know gender genetics do play a factor in these discussions!

i’m pretty new to fitness, but i've been hitting the gym with a focus on my lower body for a few months now. i think i’m finally beginning to see some results! however, in looking at the few photos i've taken, i've noticed that my glutes seem pretty flat from behind… my butt doesn’t really “fill out” on the sides and has a square look, rather than the “peachy” or rounder one i'm going for. it’s easier to tell in real life, but it’s giving spongebob… 😖

from the side view, i actually think things are starting to look pretty decent – especially if i go all-out and pose like an instagram gym-fluencer, lmao. but from behind it just looks smol. 😔 like i’m noticing that even a slight, 10 degree turn completely shifts things and looks sooo much better.

i imagine this is mainly just because i don’t really have the hips to accentuate my silhouette, but has anyone had similar issues and been able to work through them via fitness? or does anyone have advice on how i can adjust my workout to accommodate? would love to grow my “outer” glutes and have things looking bubbly from all angles!

thank you in advance!

looking for a gym buddy!

just discovered straight-leg leggings – feel like they’re a perfect mix between masculine and feminine! ✨

exercise tips for glutes that look lifted from the side but flat/square from behind? 🍑
