Jeff Nippard (the science communicator you watch if you want to spend your evening reading scientific papers and going to the gym) wrote a beautiful post recently about handling harassment and bullying at Gyms.

I’m sure big [person] already all know this, but people find you intimidating. Even a simple smile toward new members can do a LOT.
