sissy wieghts

Today at the gym I watched a man and woman train together. She was new to it, you could tell. He was being boarder line rude to her.
He kept referring to her to "pick up your sissy weights" :angry:
She was doing the best she could, yet he kept insulting her.

Just didn't set well with me. I would bet that she won't be back
He was very negative towards her - rediculing. Not a positive word came out of his mouth.

Just thought I'd pass this along. If your girls go with you or ask you to help them out - positive reenforcement will go a LOT further.

He looked to be in good shape too.

Here is another:

I go to a gym where a lot of Marines workout and the majority will help, answer questions, etc and are very polite.

An obese lady comes in and is very dedicated. I see her often. She uses the treadmil for about 20 minutes and the walk is slow. She looks to be giving it her all. Then she spends some time on the weight machines. This lady is severely overweight so I can imagine what she is doing is difficult for her.

I over hear a few Marines comment on her big ass. :angry: I told them, "give her a break, at least she's here!" That shut them up.

If she knew what they were saying, it would hurt her and she may not ever come back! She is an inspiration to me b/c she is setting aside how she "looks" and is trying to make a change.

I decided to tell her the next time I saw her that I'm glad to see her there and that she motivates me with her dedication. I did do this and she just lit up!

Encouragment goes a long way but harsh words about a persons body is damaging. I'd been so angry if she would have heard those guys and never came back.

and we need YOU in gyms everywhere!
