Listen "38-Fat Shaming...has got to stop"
Episode Synopsis
Going a bit more unscripted today...One of the guys in my program was starting to feel unwelcome at his current gym. He's been crushing his nutrition and meal prep...But some of the more experienced weight lifters are trying to rush him off his sets and just generally make him feel unwelcome.As someone who didn't grow up being a "sports" kid, wasn't the most popular or athletic...We've GOT to make gyms more welcoming spaces for new people. As a coach...its a tricky balance to help people become problem aware without venturing into projecting feelings of shame. Thats my goal...but I'm sure I fall short of that from time to time.That being said...blatantly pushing people out of a gym because they are still learning what to do is WRONG. Be the person YOU needed when you were first starting to lift weights.
