Personal Trainer tells whale she’s too fat for his class:

A story made for Getbig:

A 350-pound woman in the UK was rejected by a personal trainer who said she was “way too heavy” for his fitness class.

Lisa Parratt, 33, was mortified when workout instructor Gary Randall, who goes by the moniker “Buffmaster,” told her that she was “just too big” for his bootcamp program at UK-based gym Slimming World, which Parratt joined earlier this year.

Can something like this happen in the USA ?

[Royalty]

Buffmaster told her that she has “gone too far” (in her weight gain). Damn that was rude. But she should NOT have gone to the media for her revenge. She still weighs 350, revenge or not. She is still a million miles away from being in shape.


Note: I do give her credit for attempting to join the fitness class

[Atlas pump]

Pathetic.


Will probally start a GoFundMe page for her emotional recovery.

[Henda]

Good, pleased he did that but it’s only just a start, I’m sick of this whole tiptoeing around fat shit as got forbid we offend the obese pieces of shit over something that is easily avoidable by not shoving so much bait down their fat fucking throats and doing some bastard exercise, fuck this whole not allowed to fat shame malarkey we need to get back to viewing fat people with utter disgust

[Moontrane]

'Parratt says she’s been “overwhelmed” with the support she’s received on social media, including
the many offers of gym memberships and training sessions by other, more willing fitness instructors.'

Free gym memberships and training sessions?

Bill Maher recently had a compelling take on the obesity epidemic and our reluctance to "fat shame".

This is a point of view that even if you despise Bill Maher crosses party lines.

Weighing 350 is a heckuva lot of embar-ass-ment.

No doubt consoled Herself with Yet More Crap / Fast Food &
Now weighs 355lb of Lard.

It likely saved her the embarrassment of her having an asthma attack and puking or passing out in front of everybody, or feeling like she was holding the class back. ..... All of which I've had to deal with when instructing a bootcamp, and it's embarrassing for the instructor as well, not to mention it's an added difficulty because you have to adapt the class to accommodate someone who isn't physically able to keep up with the rest of the class if they've been doing it for any amount of time.

She's likely a better candidate for one on one training for a while first, but she probably couldn't afford it and the bootcamp was a cheaper option. Which is usually the case.

You are correct. He is a pompous jerk off at times (maybe just on the issues I disagree with), but I can tolerate his show because he has common sense on most things or at least explains his point rationally. Funny too, although I don’t like everything he jokes about.

[Primemuscle]

She could look for a class for the obese. If all the other members in his class are in great shape, she's going to embarrass herself by attending and it is unlikely she could keep up with them. instead she's now made an ass out of herself by going public with it.

Note: He informed her via Messenger which is private. She went public with it a short while later.

Did someone give her a fat lip?

[Straw Man]

Nice run-on sentence where he used "your" wrong twice and "to" wrong once

She should have replied back that she would never waste her money on someone too fucking stupid to know the difference between "your" and "you're" and "to" and "too"

edit"  just notice "I seen you"

WTF - This guy sounds like a certified moron

We’ve all made grammar errors, even you.

That said, he was right in not taking her on until she lost a bit of weight.

[Primemuscle]

Most people don't judge the expertise of a personal trainer by their poor grammar.

We all make the occasional typographical error but it's pretty clear from reading this text that this guy is a fucking idiot.

I'll overlook the occasional mix up of to/too, there/their etc.., but this entire text is evidence that this guy is a certified moron.

Yes maybe. But is he an effective trainer?

[SOMEPARTS]

She would've sued for not accommodating her special needs within the class to start with.

[ESFitness]

Well, reading his reply to her, he's rude and has no social as, but what he said wasn't inaccurate. What he should have done was tried to sell her private one-on-one training first. The dude is just guilty of being rude and having no tact, which won't serve him well as a trainer in a "corporate gym", but at least he said it via msg, not face to face.

This lady chose to make the "conversation" public and further embarrass herself.

I see this as a no-contest. Both people lose. She got her feelings hurt and suffered no monetary damages, however she goes public with it with the intent on inflicting monetary damages on him. If I were him, I'd sue her, however lawsuits are handled differently in the UK, not to mention it's a socialist country full of whining social justice warriors who would probably side with the obese crybaby.

[SOMEPARTS]

He should have just said "your lack of willpower is sickening".

He messaged her as opposed to talking to her in person. I disagree that this was the best way to handle it. For the most part people are much more tactful when face to face with someone. Think about how often Getbig posters are misunderstood and people take things the wrong way.

[Fortress]

Giant, repulsive fat fuck.

[tommywishbone]

Is she really 350 pounds? 160 kilograms? Lord have mercy, that's crazy insane fat. That's "I can't fit in an airplane seat" fat. That's just so piggish.

25 years ago I weighted 282 pounds and felt HORRIBLE. I was monstrous. And incredibly unhealthy.

350 pounds? Aqua aerobics. Threadmill one hour every morning. Repeat for one year.
