Mr. Argibay said he has endured ridicule from colleagues who call him and make grunting noises, and he fears that inmates will lose respect for him.
This made me laugh aloud.

Regarding the grunting issue.. I can see how grunting can result from pushing oneself to get those last few reps, or really pushing physically. In this case it seems it was handled poorly. I suspect there would have been a less dramatic outcome if the gym employee had approached the grunter and politely explained the club's policy and how he was breaking it.

Grunting in the gym is fine with me, but it's made watching tennis unbearable. Monica Seles, go on, take a bow.

This thread also reminds me of the "My New Haircut" video on YouTube, specifically 1:15 and onward (explicit language):
