Talking to someone at the gym doesn’t mean they’re hitting on you and EVERYTHING doesn’t need to be posted on social media.

Women are harassed in gyms and it needs to stop, but you are not one of them. An act of kindness or a glance does not make you a victim.

In 2023 gyms need to start enforcing policy that if you’re caught taking photos or videos of someone without their consent to post on social media to bully, shame, or embarrass them, your membership is automatically revoked and you’re banned from the gym. Gyms need to do better.

If you see someone in the gym that has bad form or doesn’t know what they’re doing, you have two options: Option 1: Offer nicely to help teach them. Option 2: Mind your own business and leave them alone. Filming them to post online to make fun of them is NEVER an option.
