Today, I accompanied some friends to sign up for a gym. When we got there, the guy handed me a form, too. I said, "Oh, I'm not signing up." He replied, "Out of all of you, you need it the most." He then said he was also a nutritionist, and offered a consultation. FML

Today, I was working my job checking people in at the gym. A sweaty, chubby woman came up to me complaining about how our staff seems so fit. I replied, "We like to hire people who have bodies that motivate our clients!" She gave a blank stare, then said, "So how did you get the job?" FML
Today, I went to the gym with two of my friends expecting to pay a guest fee but the cute guy working at the front desk let me in for free. On the way out after working out I started to flirt with him and he said, "Don't flatter yourself, I just let you in because I'm lazy." FML
Today, I got a surprise call from LA Fitness saying I've been signed up for a two week pass. It's from my boyfriend. Didn't see this one coming. FML
Today, I went to the gym that I just became a member of, making an extra effort to look good because I've heard there are hot guys there. The lady at the front desk said they need to take my picture, then took a second look and said, "Don't worry hun, we'll take it when you're more prepared." FML
Today, I walked into the gym in my new workout outfit and headed straight for the weight machines. After 10 minutes, a staff member tapped me on the shoulder and said, “Sir, this is a physical therapy clinic.” The gym was next door. 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
Today, I paid $500 for a gym membership after moving into a brand new house, since 12 years of software development has taken its toll. When I told my instructor about my goal to lose 35lbs in two months, he simply said, "Yeah... That's not going to happen. Try another gym," and left promptly. FML
Today, I felt like going to the gym. I asked my girlfriend if she wanted to come with me. She screamed at me for supposedly implying that she's fat. No, I just wanted to go to the gym with someone. FML
Today, I was chatting with the cute new receptionist at the gym. I told her that I would be going there more if she was there. She looked me up and down and said that I should go regardless. FML
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

I guess you never met a used car salesman. Let's reverse roles here for a second. Pretend you're the gym guy and that guy is a potential customer. Now, let's say he came with a bunch of friends, and didn't want to sign up. Wouldn't you try a sales pitch to him? If you felt bad, or fat, or whatever, then you need to slap yourself for falling for the oldest trick in the book.

Deal with it or lose weight (unless of course he was being a jackass and you are in fact in shape).

I do not care if you are 1,000 lbs. What kinds of a jack@$$ thinks he can be so rude? If he wants business, telling people they are fat is not the best way to go about it. Maybe he could have discussed the benefits of joining a gym and how even for skinny people it is just a healthy decision.

Everyone needs a gym. No matter how skinny or fit you are, you need a gym to stay healthy and muscular. Gyms reduce your risk of cardio problems (if you're doing cardio work) or of becoming obese. I exercise 15 hours a week (3 hours a day, 5 days a week) and I'm as healthy as can be. Though just one hour a day, 4 days a week is still perfect. And not all of my exercise is at the gym; my school offers a running class and a speed, strength and conditioning class.

Bitch if you don't care If someone weighs 1000 pounds you need a bitch slap to wake the **** up and realize that person probably has a better chance of dying the next day than living the next day.

Here's my impression of 80% of the FMLs on here. "WAAAAAAAHH I'M FAT WAAAAAAAH SOMEBODY POINTED OUT THAT I'M FAT WAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH. MY MOM/DAD/BOYFRIEND/DOCTOR/TEACHER MADE A FAT JOKE, WAAAAAH WAAAAAAH WAAAAAAAAAAHHH!" Get over it or lose some weight.

What a terrible way to get business. I would've just left and complained.

If you're that insecure about your body, that you read so much into what a random person said, do something about it.
