That's precisely why I'm not there. I'm too fat for the gym. There are women and Children present. I'd scar them for life.
ETA:
To clarify: This is not what happens, this is my own self conscious, self loathing behavior giving me excuses for not bettering myself. I am aware of my mental health problems, I'm just not dealing with them.
Literally no one makes fun of overweight people at the gym OP probably never stepped foot in a gym in their life. People are too busy doing their own thing to care. Plus gym goers are supportive people who would respect you for trying to better yourself anyway
Definitely was one of my biggest fears growing up. People absolutely make fun of people at the gym, just not to their face and normally not about their weight. They normally just make fun of your form and stuff like that but only when they’re slackin.
I might quitely make fun of the form of muscular gym bro who is displaying a smug attitude and clearly doesn’t know what he’s doing, despite going there for the last five years. But never a fat person, never a beginner taking their first steps.
See what the fuck? People will swear up and down they’re not hateful, then eagerly indulge in hating “the right people”.
That guy didn’t lose his claim to your respect just because he showed what you considered a “smug attitude”.
Maybe his “smug attitude” is him refusing to let people like you drag down his day. Fuck.
I’m not dragging down his day. I’ll make a mental note like, wow his form is terrible and yet he poses for the camera lol (because of course he records it). I don’t know why you consider this hate.
You don’t see how making fun of someone is hate? Damn
As a middle aged fat person who has recently joined a gym I can confirm you are correct.
