Former NFL punter Steve Weatherford is notorious for being an absolute gym rat. He’s been on numerous magazine covers and celebrated for his physique while playing a position rarely associated with musclemen. But he’s gotten out of control.

Last week on Instagram Weatherford posted video giving his “sincerest apologies” to employees at Planet Fitness for “being such a savage” after he said the gym kicked him out for grunting too hard.

Here’s the full caption to his post:

"So I have trained at well over 1,000 gyms all over the world. Not 1 time have I ever been approached and asked to "tone it down"...

Today I was unceremoniously kicked out of@planetfitness for excessive breathing/grunting.

A gym should be a place that encourages, motivates, and inspires you to build the best version of yourself possible. Not a place that has a built in siren the manager activates when someone is working hard and breathes heavily.

I'm embarrassed to say I paid $20 to this establishment. I'm fortunate to be an overly confident person. Can you imagine how embarrassing this would be to someone trying hard to change their image through hard work and they let a more than quiet breath out.

The gym can already be a very intimidating place, clients don't need to worry about being completely humiliated for working hard."

OK, Steve. We get it — you’re jacked. But it’s hard to feel bad for a guy who repeatedly refers to himself as a “savage.” Promoting fitness and inspiring others to reach their goals is commendable, but promoting obnoxious behavior with a demeaning attitude toward gym employees isn’t cute.

And what are you doing at a Planet Fitness in the first place? If you’ve trained at more than 1,000 gyms all over the world, why take your animalistic workout to an inexpensive chain gym known for promoting a “judgment-free” environment? Planet Fitness has an actual siren, known as the “Lunk Alarm,” developed to call out meatheads like Steve “Grunter the Punter” Weatherford.
