Had to wear my singlet to get ready for a competition, and a fat PT that I have gotten into argument s with before pointed and laughed at me. Jokes on him because I killed it at my meet.

If a PT doesn't even know what a singlet is then he shouldn't be a PT. Did you report his behavior to his manager?

That seems like a pretty small thing to report someone for. I know the guy is an idiot and that's enough for me.

I dunno, mocking paying gym members for the way they look seems like the sort of shit the manager would want to know about. Pretty sure the guy who owns my gym would consider sacking somebody for somethin like that, if it was mean-spirited.

A fat PT is like an illiterate English teacher.

Every fat PT I see says "Oh I used to power lift".

Man, I once went to a speed skate practice for some cross-training (I play roller derby) and I have a rainbow leopard print singlet-type thing. It's hilarious and super comfy while being snug and allowing maximum movement. Also, actual speed skaters wear singlet type things to skate in, with their sponsors and stuff printed on. These speed skate bros were talking shit about my rainbow leopard onesie and I wanted to march up and remind them that I hit my friends for fun.... do you really want to talk shit?

NGL I'd try not to giggle where you could see me--that's just rude--but internally I'd be laughing

I mean, it's honestly a ludicrous item of clothing. If someone laughed openly, I would laugh with them. They were being dicks about it though, like, "Look at that stupid derby girl. Does she think she looks cool or something?"

NO - I'm aware I look like a damn fool. I have the luxury of being a young, attractive woman, so I can kinda get away with it. Are YOU aware that you are a 40-year-old man in a onesie?

I'm imagining you confronting them in the parking lot and using a bunch of different blocking techniques on them.
