The offensive male gaze at my gym

I have small figure yet I still want a tighter stomach so I signed up for the gymm were I appear to be the only female under 20. Since signing up I have felt overwhelmingly objectified and sexualised by all the stares by the males in the gym. It makes me feel very uncomfortable and very self conscious leading to lack of concentration. It is not only the glaring, but the intimidating approach the men have with the way they carry themselves like knuckle dragging rugged animals. A man literally approached me dripping with sweating, panting in my face and tried to start a conversation with me whilst "adjusting" himself. It is almost worring how they get off on towering over me using there size and muscle mass to intimidate women. And that's not even getting in to the unnecessary loud grunts, it is like they are trying so hard to conform to being masculine and the gym has become this sexist stone age place were they compete for females.
