Good god does Abbi bring this one home, and by bring this one one we mean, excuse herself from the situation for the private space. Ilana has joked about Abbi about being a mainline prude in the past, and this was just so on for how plenty of women feel in these scenarios. It’s why she’s friends with unapologetically body pride til the end Ilana. Worth noting: Awesome to see a trainer with Abbi’s body type on the tube, and at any size locker room nudity can be weird. Even for a nude model who goes braless, dropping all the clothes in the naked locker room can be a dicey proposition. (That’s also true it comes to a gym’s variety of soaps and whether or not to get nekked.) But it’s such a spot on depiction – to see her surrounded by Trey, Gemma, and everyone else, who happens to look more like the stereotypical trainer than Abbi making her feel uncomfortable for being uncomfortable. And Broad City definitely nailed how women, especially in their 20s, aren’t feeling totally free. Showering off the elliptical sweat in your overalls isn’t a solid option, but they’re a great place to revisit high school awkwardness. In real locker rooms, other women get that you have to take your clothes off. Not so realistic even though it’s a show about real things that happened IRL. ![]() Plus, as she puts it, she didn’t grow up in a “naked house.” All the pressure of girl judgment makes her not want to eat Magnolia cupcakes, but in the end, she triumphs because she only half covers her body with a towel and a woman says she’d kill for her breasts. When we encounter locker room nudity fear in Sex and the City, Charlotte is terrified that other women will think her thighs are too big to enjoy airtime. ![]() Abbi takes him up on the private space, letting us inside the mind of a woman who is far from as sex positive, body positive, and dog couture positive as her partner in crime Ilana. Unfortunately, this episode misses the opportunity to call back Abbi’s fear of group nudity, comedy-wise, it’s just treated as a quick gag. At Broad City’s Soulcycle sendup Soulstice, (which is filmed at an actual Williamsburg gym called Chalk,) the inflatable sea animal humping trainer offers Abbi the private space so that she doesn’t have to show her bod.
