I was bullied at the gym today.....

[ThinnerJemima]

I should be really upset by this, and I'm a bit miffed. Ultimately I feel a bit sorry for the two women as they clearly have nothing better to do in their lives.

Basically I shouldn't be allowed to go to Zumba as I don't move enough, can't keep up and am not good enough. It's only my second time. And yes it's true I am rubbish, don't have the boogie in me and severely lack coordination.

BUT and I repeat BUT

Their full on attack was because I was rubbish, a year ago it would have been because I was fat. There are a few regulars that spitefully pick on the larger women in the club.

Yay.... a VICTORY. Nasty spiteful cows not picking on me as they don't see me as fat.

Bet thye mutton dressed as lamb x Ignore them n do your owm thing it sdoesnt have to be all serious you can have a bit of fun and most good instructors would tell you to do as much as you can and they do hard and easy exercises usually to compenstate for all. xx

Typical ignorant 'fattists' who have nothing better to do than to bully bigger people because of there own insecurities..Despise these worthless humans...they need a good >

 

[Samsara]

:sigh2: How bl**dy rude! Did they directly say that to you? I hope you'll keep going to Zumba x x

 

[Mazza]

Grrr! I hope it doesn't put you off going x

 

[JoeH]

Don't let it put you off going. You are the one getting your life back into shape (pardon the pun). Do not let ignorance win and well done you for attending such classes in the first place.

 

[goofy07]

I think they are jealous and to be honest I always thought exercise was supposed to be fun as well as good for you.

Ignore them and keep going you know that you enjoy it so just keep going

I would report them to who ever runs the class. I'm not sure if it will do anything but bullies need to be called out in all walks of life. They can get stuffed. I'm sure there are advanced zumba classes else where - the general ones are for everyone and pretty much every class is. I use to got to boxercise last time I lost weight. I was pretty fit for my size then but still struggled. The rest of the class was supportive of me, I was the only big person and they admired how hard I worked. The gym is like that too so these saddo woman are in league of their own, they are the ones who are not normal! Well done you for rising above it x

Fair play to you for being brave enough to Zumba. I dont have the co-ordination to aunty dance let alone Zumba! Enjoy yourself and dont let anybody take this accomplishment from you.

Im proud of you, and wish I could Zumba! Even the wii cries at me when I try! Im that bad the kids take it off me!

^^^^ yes this!

what a pair of nasty, mean spirited, small minded ...... (I'm too polite to type it). You're right to pity them - they have nothing in their lives apart from their horrible attitudes. I'd hate to be like them - picking apart other people, making them feel worthless - I guess that's how they get their kicks. What joys they must be to live with. Zumba is meant to be a fun exercise. Nobody will be a pro at their second session and it should be up to other members of a group to encourage new people, not to belittle them. Keep up the classes - if you like it don't let these bullies stop you... and if they get worse then please let whoever is leading the classes know about it. No matter what you believe the reason (size, ability, etc) they don't have the right to bully you or anyone else.

 

[fjsinc]

You've got the right attitude! What nasty and pathetic idiots. Lets face it, what goes around comes around. You'll have the last laugh, I'm sure.

 

[mr97]

There's a saying, "If you want to get even, get happy". Bullies like them hate seeing anyone happy as it really upsets them.

 

[ThinnerJemima]

It was a full on to my face encounter. Nice

BUT things move onwards, other ladies that were in the class who were also witness to this then had a word and then the Classes Manager heard it and her reaction told them that they had overstepped the normality line. To top it all one of the other ladies had mentioned that I'm having a bypass soon. They incorrectly assumed that it's a heart bypass. So now they feel triply guilty apparently I don't have the heart (parden the pun) to correct them and it's none of their business

Revenge is going to be served so red hot, that they will be tripping over their own pouts. My other half is a gazillion times more rubbish at anything like this. He is going to come to a class for me, to give them something to trip over, rather than their own egos

Bullies. Who needs them

 

[natashoorrr]

I'd report them too! Even though I'm quite spiteful so i'd probably have to say something... Or you could just punch them on the sly and put it down to terrible dancing!

 

[apples]

How rude !

 

[natashoorrr]

I'm glad its sorted - Still... sly punch... the option is still there XD

 

[skinnyminx]

how rude of these women, try not to let it upset you, at least you're motivated to keeping fit and healthy, dont take any notice of them and keep going, dont let them win!!
