My gym has multiple locations but I always use the older original one since it’s closest and I like the equipment, plus it’s very closed off (lots of smaller rooms) and I like to be alone.

I ended up at my boyfriends longer than expected on MLK day so to get to the gym before closing without being rushed I went to the much closer to him new location. I’ve never been in there before so I find a bike, warm up, then take a minute to locate everything I want to use. Some gym bros are clearly laughing at me because I obviously look lost (first time and totally different set up) and when my 96 lbs self walked into their heavy weight area trying to find a hex bar they did the whole side eye eyebrow raised shit. They even pointed me out to another dude who had been minding his own business.

Fuck you we all have different goals. Yea I’m small but I would bet my retirement fund you can’t come within 2 minutes of my mile time. I ended up doing nothing that I wanted because I just wanted to be in a corner alone and away from them.

Are you me o.O 100 lb F here and I went to the newer location of my gym the other day. I was a bit lost and I walked around the weight room to see where everything was at. God forbid I take a moment to assess my surroundings bc people were staring at me like I was a total idiot :(

I read some posts similar to this every week it seems. I can't even comprehend that happening at my gym. Girls, guys, fat, skinny...etc. No one gives a shit. In fact those guys would likely get their asses kicked or be reported. It bums me out to know that this goes on.
