Mannrobics is an Action taunt for all classes. This taunt consists of a variety of arm lunges, with several optional flairs: Primary and Alt-fire will perform two different flair moves (one that is shared by all classes is a clapping motion). The workout is accompanied by an up-tempo synthesized beat. The taunt ends with the player posing and moving back into the default standing position.

Any other player (Including Bots), regardless of team or if they own the taunt, can join any player who is in the "workout" by standing close to them, and pressing the action button. Other players will see an icon above the dancer's head which indicates if the taunt is active. Unlike other partner taunts, the aerobics workout can be spread throughout the players on a server even after the original owner stops dancing, and is not limited to two people.

For the voicelines spoken by each class, please refer to the respective class taunt pages.

Trivia

  • The music played while performing the taunt is based on the "National Championship Aerobic Theme" by Ty Parr. Some of the movements made by the classes are based on dance moves seen in the video for the 1988 Crystal Light National Aerobic Championship.
  • The Spy will perform the spycrab when using the taunt's secondary fire as the Spy referencing the spycrab taunt. Similarly, the Pyro does a pose similar to the Hadoken taunt during the primary fire dance animation.
  • The Scout will sometimes utter the phrase "Don't you do it, don't you stop believing in them dreams." during the taunt. This is a reference to the popular video: "JUST DO IT!" made by Shia Labeouf.
