Today, I was at the gym. I'm 360 lbs and have finally decided it's time to change that. Some girl and her two bitch friends thought it'd be fun to follow me and belittle me at everything I did. When I mentioned it to the staff, they said that they were just "encouraging" me. FML

They have problems that hitting the gym won't fix. Hang in there, OP.

First, use a recording app next time to get their assault on your phone. Second, there should be a section of your contract prohibiting members from this kind of crap. Highlight that section, and take it (and their representatives) up the chain. At the LEAST, they owe you for this. You might also check local libel statutes to see if you can charge the abusive women with something. Shaming of any kind is not acceptable. Good for you that you're working to make a change in your life. I hope you can deal with this crap and reach your goals.

Sorry you had that experience, OP. Don't let the negativity get you down. You can reach your goals! As for those girls, karma has a way of taking care of people like that.

Cancel your membership and make sure to mention those staff members' despicable treatment of you to their managers as you do. Then go to a gym where they respect their customers.

You're telling OP to cancel their gym membership and leave? If anything, OP needs to escalate this issue to a manager or someone else who will do something. OP shouldn't have to change their routine because of someone else's bitterness.

Or at least *threaten* to cancel. Op should take it to corporate and tell them about the crappy staff at that location, let them know if they don't get it together, Op will cancel and spread the word that their gym allows fat shaming. Under no circumstance is that okay, I know that my gym would have canceled those girls' memberships if that had happened there, and that is how it should be. There should be no tolerance for that behavior, there shouldn't even be a first warning, in my honest opinion.

I'm not encouraging him to leave because of the girls, but because of the staff, #115. Not reacting to bullying is inexcusable and should cost them OP's membership. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't feel safe working out in a gym environment where the employees react with such apathy ever again.

The important thing is you're ready for change, so once your tone and healthy they'll still be skinny bitches. Keep up the good work

Feel free to sit on them and then switch to a real gym.

This is when you break out the words, 'I'd like to see your manager please,' while peering intently at the staffers name tags.
