A bodybuilder has called out his fellow gym-goer after finding evidence of their "dirty" act in the showers at the gym where he works, encouraging others to identify the man to name and shame him.

Coach Micheal Croser, 51, was in disbelief when a colleague told him they'd happened upon a questionable-looking deposit by the shower drain in the male changing rooms at Sunshine Fitness in Melbourne's east. He had to see it for himself and went into the shower to confirm that, yes, a fellow gym user had seemingly defecated in the shower.

"I couldn't believe it had been done," he told Yahoo News Australia.

"When the manager actually said, you know, we've had someone do this in the shower, I just said, 'No surely not'."

Baffled by the deed, he described it as "one of the lowest forms of disrespect to other gym members and the public", labelling the culprit a "dirty bastard".

He explained there was a toilet "right there" just beyond the shower, and couldn't understand why someone would choose to do this, given there are bathroom facilities available. He called it "unacceptable" to do this in a place of work, and in a place where people "enjoy coming to train".

Croser admitted he was eager to name and shame the offender, explaining even though he's not experienced it before, it's "sadly a thing in the industry".

"That's not etiquette in any workplace, you know, a gym, a sporting club... it's just common gym etiquette, don't s**t in the shower," he said.

"At no point is this acceptable at this gym, so if you're going to start doing it maybe you should find another gym because if we catch you, you're out," he said.
