Not this minute because it is closed obviously.
They are both white males about 30.
The first is a manlet in ok shape with short hair. He mostly does cardio. He apparently compensates by clapping his hands when he feels the urge to curse. I have seen him about 5 times. When he is doing cardio it is less annoying because the clapping comes from the same part of the gym all the time. But when he is working out on the machines the clapping keeps moving around.
The second I have only seen once, he is about 5'10" with long hair and slightly overweight, only noticed him in the lockerroom trying to change. His TS may only manifest when he is trying to change.

At least neither farts frequently like the guy with Tourette syndrome at my gym 10 years ago.

How can you cope with tourette

Imagine you're in deadlift mode and suddenly your face just spazzes out

I suspect the nerve signaling from the stress of a dead lift would overwhelm the TS signaling and the TS wouldn't be an issue. But that is a complete guess.
