Here is the definition from Wikipedia:
A gay man who works out in a gym (see Gym Bunny, Gym Queen); a muscular yet effeminate gay man. Usually pejorative.
I've heard the term "musculoca" in Spanish, coined from musculo (muscle) and loca (poofter) but I can't find the term used in French. Can anyone help?

gay bodybuildé
dans le jargon "gay" ;-)
Sinon, *pédé bodybuildé*/*pédé aux gros muscles*, avec une connotation plus péjorative.
"Une s.a.l.o.p.e est et reste une s.a.l.o.p.e, que ce soit une blondasse platinée (autre lieu commun) ou un gay bodybuildé adepte de plans culs..."
"La culture gay parisienne est d’une pauvreté insigne, à l’image de sa presse qui ne semble considérer qu’un modèle de lecteur : le gay butch [NDLR : bodybuildé au Gymnase Club], qui va aux soirées Scream et, surtout, qui consomme."

ou encore *une "copine" bodybuildée* s'il s'agit d'une discussion entre mecs homos - tout dépend du contexte...

un pédé de salle de sports
(With apologies).
There was a character on the "Les filles d'à côté" TV show like the one you describe, but that was years ago and I doubt whether anybody would get the refererence.
