I was shamed for my ‘inappropriate’ gym outfit – they dress coded me and said I made others uncomfortable, I was fuming
WHEN it comes to exercising – whether that’s sprinting on the treadmill or lifting weights – most of us just want to be comfortable.
Whilst some feel their best in a baggy t-shirt, others will rock a sports bra and a pair of figure-hugging leggings – and both options are totally fine and acceptable.
But for one woman, her session was cut short after fellow members of the gym had allegedly complained about her ‘inappropriate’ outfit.
Still in disbelief, Kerry Rose Shwartz (@comfywith_kerry), believed to be from the US, took to TikTok to explain the unpleasant situation in more detail to her 127k followers.
”Something really disappointing happened…
”They actually said something to me that made me feel so uncomfortable that I never want to go back there again,” the fitness fan said in her video.

The incident, which took place in an all-women’s gym, started by the owner of the place approaching Kerry for a ”quick chat”.
”I could sense that something was wrong because the conversation got uncomfortable really quickly.”
The issue, he then revealed, was her dress code – a sports bra and gym leggings which scrunch detailing on the bum.
Explaining the problem, the man said a few women were left feeling ”uncomfortable” by the bottoms Kerry was wearing that day.

”My initial reaction is confusion and shock… and then it was more like embarrassment.

She added that fellow members of the gym had described the leggings as ”distracting” and ”offensive” .
”Why am I being shamed by this? Especially for a women’s gym…”
Upon seeing the bottoms, social media users flocked to comments and quickly realised why so many women had deemed them as ”inappropriate” – they were simply jealous of her stunning curves.
One supportive viewer commented: ”You look great. Ladies are jelly!”

”Gym owner here. Nothing wrong with what you’re wearing. Only thing that’s wrong is their insecurities,” is what another fitness fanatic penned.
