I've always had this problem, haven't tried very hard to solve it, just assumed it was permanent.

Some stink is unsolvable, but I found that adding white vinegar to my laundry, where the fabric softener would normally go, helps prevent it from forming.

Cheap vodka has helped some set in stink, go buy a big bottle of the cheapest vodka you can find, and soak the gym clothes in it.

Same as the above, this right here is what I’d recommend: vinegar. I actually have been adding vinegar for years to my workout laundry, and there’s been no stink. I can’t use anything like softener or detergents that aren’t “free” and “clear” due to skin allergies, so my options are pretty limited otherwise.
