Sure, I give guys weird looks at my local victoria's secret, but I get over it pretty fast... just like the guys will.<br /><br />I train judo/brazilian jiu jitsu and sometimes I'm the only girl training... sometimes I get weird comments, but I just blow 'em off. Most guys get over themselves eventually. I'm there to train for me!<br /><br />Kudos to you!! :)April Cnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1973070075913025664.post-910777818971959352010-08-31T12:51:10.639-04:002010-08-31T12:51:10.639-04:00I think you ladies did the right thing by not lett...I think you ladies did the right thing by not letting those men discourage you. I've never encounter that problem at the gym here. However, if I did, I 'd probably ask the men what the big deal was? After all you pay a membership fee just like they do.K.

Plus all the grunting they do totally makes me want to laugh in their face, like really what are you? I think the gym is like our mall. <br /><br />Good for you for entering their land.

But that's so awesome you went over and other ladies followed suit.

Now I belong to Planet Fitness because you don't get that "men's side" and "women's side" attitude. Nor do I have to feel weird or uncomfortable because someone is staring or what have you. But if I were you ladies, I'd stay over there until one of the employees says something. But if I were by myself, I'd probably stay on the girls' side. Yep, I can be a wimp. But yay for you getting healthy!!!!Daenel T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08864314251750387383noreply@blogger.com
