  • I came here thinking I had won a free month. The promotion came with a free (albeit mandatory) "fitness assessment" that I really tried to opt out of but they wouldn't let me redeem my prize without it. The assessment started in an office, where they asked me how active I was and what I typically ate. I was a dance major, and was dancing about 30 hours a week and ate very healthy very frequently. I was in amazing shape and I knew it, I just wanted to expand my horizons by trying out an actual gym. The guy told me I couldn't be dancing that much (sorry dude, it's my major. as in it's my schooling. as in i don't have a choice and my teachers know what they're doing with us). He told me I needed to eat even more even if I wasn't hungry (which I'm not sure is really a bad thing, but I'm not trying to only recount that bad things). He then weighed me - 120 lbs and 5'4". He then asked to see my stomach and started pinching at my skin. "Ah," he said, "you're skinny fat. You look skinny, you think you're skinny, but you're actually fat." Just so you know, I was sixteen at the time. He then went on about how one month wouldn't be enough to "fix" my situation and started trying to sell me something right then and there. I told him I didn't have the money, I was only there because it was supposedly free. The actual fitness part of the assessment was just as much of a joke. He had me do various kinds of squats for 45 minutes and then made me run on an incline for twenty minutes once my legs were exhausted. Of course that was going to feel impossible. We exhausted one muscle group and then overworked it. It was not an assessment. It was a ploy to make me feel like I was in terrible shape and needed a membership. Luckily I have a pretty thick skin, but the way I was treated there was an absolutely inappropriate way to treat a teenage girl, let alone anyone that you'd ever want to actually serve or help. This kind of treatment is what fuels self loathing and eating disorders. It was a terrible experience. I work in fitness now, and there is no doubt in my mind that they were unreasonable. I didn't even end up using the month, by the way.
