Today, I was working out in the gym when a fitness trainer came up to me and said it wasn't safe to be exercising while this far along in a pregnancy. I was too ashamed to tell them that I'm not pregnant, so I went along with it. Time to find a new gym. FML

Today, I was in the gym when I noticed three trainers who worked there staring at me. Thinking that they were checking me out, i turned the speed on the treadmill higher. Finally one of the trainers came over, and asked me to leave until I got a sports bra that actually worked. FML

Today, I was fired from job as a personal trainer. Why? Because I was working out with a friend while off-duty. Apparently, working out with a friend on a day off means I am training them under the table. FML

Today, I dragged my son along with me to a work party because I didn't want him home by himself. Halfway through, he stood up and made an announcement about my pregnancy. I had to explain to all my coworkers and my boss that I'm not pregnant, I'm just fat. FML

Today, at school, one of my students confidently told me that I "wasn't hiding my baby bump very well anymore." I'm not pregnant. Just fat, apparently. FML

Today, I went to the gym for the first time in months. I was so out of shape that I couldn't even finish my warm-up. FML

Today, I went to the new gym I recently signed up for and started exercising in the men-filled weights room, despite being intimidated by them and the strange looks they were giving me. Workout over, I left the room and saw in front of me a door marked, "Women's weights room." Oh. FML

Leg day

Today, I walked into the gym to do legs and walked up to the leg press machine where a trainer was taking weights off. I asked him if he was about to use the machine and he gave me an odd look and said no, then walked back to his client who was in a wheelchair. FML

Pump it up

Today, I'd signed up to try a workout class at the gym. However, as soon as the instructor started the class, I realized it was much more intense than I had anticipated. I ended up passing out and had to be carried out of the class by the instructor. FML

Today, I did my workout at the gym instead of at home as I usually do, since I'm paranoid about people seeing up my shorts. I told myself to get over it, because it's impossible. After my extensive workout, I realized that there was a hole in the crotch of my shorts. FML

Today, I mentioned to my boyfriend that I want to start working out and get rid of my holiday weight. His response? "Okay, just don't join a gym. People will have to see you there." FML

Why be ashamed? You were in the gym and actively working on yourself? That is reason enough to be proud.

Don't be ashamed OP. No matter what people say or think about you, just keep going. There will come a day when you'd look hot as hell :)

You go join a New gym because they called you fat? Just keep at it and stop being so offended. What's more important your goal or your ego?

I love having to put YDI because people actually care about such insignificant stuff like this.

1. You can work out until you are in labor and 2. He, nor anyone, should ever assume someone is pregnant. That is so ******* rude.

Most gyms train their employees not to assume pregnancy status and not to discourage exercising as exercising during pregnancy is very healthy and safe. Bring it up with management.

Dont be ashamed! Thats the hardest part of going to the gym! If you told him he might have felt so bad you could have gotten freebies! Like training!

Go back, screw him. Plus as a personal trainer he's an idiot because you can in most cases work out throughout your whole pregnancy as long as it's at the same level you were working out before you got pregnant. I'd be super embarrassed too and it would be hard to go back but do it. Maybe even complain to the manager, maybe you'll get a month free. It's a gym for God sakes there are all shapes there. Tact much? What an ass!!! First he's incorrect and he made you feel horrible.
