I got fat-shamed at the gym – it didn’t destroy me, I used it to make a tonne of money instead
A PLUS size Influencer has created a safe fitness environment for larger women after she was fat shamed at the gym.
Former Miss Plus Size Canada titleholder Sarah Taylor got the ultimate revenge on the heckler who body shamed her while she was trying to workout at the gym.
She has become a personal trainer and is now making a tonne of money in the process.
Unhappy with the way she was treated, Sarah decided to open up her own fitness centre and offer classes for women who struggled with body confidence issues.
The trainer now offers classes both in house and online, they have been a roaring success.

She recently shared her dilemma with 83.8K. TikTok followers. In the video she said: “ So I’m a plus size personal trainer, yup you heard that right so let that sink in.”
She continued: “Now on to what I have to say, I created a virtual gym for plus size women because I was fat shamed in the gym. I’m getting kind of annoyed by a theme of comments that I am getting about what I do.”
“So apparently because I’ve created a space for plus size women I am now saying that if you are not plus size you are a stick and I am shaming you and that there is something wrong with you.”
“Let’s get something straight that is not at all what I’m saying but can you walk into a gym without being shamed because of your body size?”

“Can you go into a store and now that they carry your size without seeing something that says plus size section?”
She finished the monologue by saying, “If you can’t then you have no idea what it is like to walk into these spaces and feel uncomfortable and that you don’t belong so I have created a space so that we could. That’s it. That’s all that it is.
