Do you think there should be gender divided gyms?

[Anonymous]

I hate going to the gym anymore, because guys always harass me, stare at me, cat-call me and I've even been physically harassed. I'm not the only girl who goes through this. Maybe if guys had self control, we wouldn't have this problem. I don't dress slutty either, I wear leggings and a short sleeve t-shirt. I need to be comfortable to work out.

I guess. That certainly shouldn't be happening and you should be able to complain to the gym staff.

Pity them and just carry on with your workout. Don't let them spoil it. It just shows how low those guys are. I've seen people do that at my gym as well, or even girls who do it too. The other thing is guys who sit there on their phones and girls who dress in tight fitting lycra trousers and moan a lot near the mirrors!

I guess so, but just be confident and ignore them. They'll feel embarassed.

Could you help me on mine pls? Heard you were THE expert. Could you help me out on my related questions pls?

I don't think so.

It's up to the gym owner. If the owner wants to make a singular gender gym, that's his/her perogative. Just remember, your business won't be near as good and it will often be deemed as sexist.

I say: People will stare at you. As long as there are no physical actions which go on, who cares?

Talk to the gym staff that's supposed to be monitoring the area at all times. Let them know how you feel, seeing as how they surprisingly seem to see no wrong-doing in some cat calls being made.

I'm sorry that's happening to you, but I've never experienced the same. I go to a coed gym, sure guys will look/creepy smiles and all but you've got to take the good with the mad. I just ignore them, they give up after trying a few more times.

I told the people who work at the gym and they told me they will do something if I'm physically harassed. I'm never physically harassed though. I wish guys weren't dogs.

[BelleGirl21]

You know who I HATE the most at the gym? 90% of the girls.
Checking out there hair, taking selfies in the mirror, never lifting more than 5 pounds. I get so annoyed!
Sure let's segregate gyms but I want in on the guys side where the actual workouts are happening.

[BelleGirl21]

*their hair

[blondfrog]

Yeah I know what you mean lol and in high school the boys were like that too every-time I would go to teh school gym there were lots of the boys who would just sit on the weigh machines and just talk to their friends lol.

[Asker]

@BelleGirl21 ... And guys are so busy flirting with girls, checking out girls, staring, listening to music and flexing their muscles, they don't truly "work out" either. What does it matter to you if a girl isn't actually working out? Is it harming you? I don't know if you've been harassed or not but if you have, you would know what I'm talking about.

[BelleGirl21]

You need to find a new gym because yours sounds terrible.

[BertMacklinFBI]

the gym you go to needs better staff and security to protect its members.

[Klaatu51]

definetely agree.

there r people who use gyms for this purpose and only... especially guys (no offense, but... it's true from wot i've seen). to hit on other gals and not focus on workin-out.

but keep in mind even if those gyms xist... again some lesbian chick might hit on u. chances r less for sure... but still it's a possibility.

[dartmaul15]

that won't solve the problem, only remove it.
Guys will still be perverted fuckheads, and find other areas to do this.

FACE the problem, instead or unning away from it. Yes, i know you can't do much, but if you and other girls take a stand against it, then most guys will stop. And those who don't... well, they won't get any.

[objob94]

That's pretty bad tbh.

I have to admit, I'm not a pervy male but sometimes you can't help but glance for a second, however, I know people start feeling uncomfortable if you start staring at them, so I turn my eyes away, even though there are some really pretty girls about!

I apologise on behalf of my fellow male comrades, working out increases out testosterone levels so we become more horny, I know this isn't an excuse however

[Aizou]

They do have women only gyms, but probably
not everywhere.. I'm not sure.

I know for a fact that they do have them in Denmark
I have a house there, as my late fathers family lives there
my girlfriend attends one when we're there.

[lemonlimetime]

Actually that's a good idea... I never go to the gym for this reason and for the fact that I'm not in any way athletic but I feel if they would do this I might actually go. I honk my mom went to a gym for women only. Or maybe it was just low on guys.

[KBob93]

That's a good idea, especially for young women who are self-conscious about working out in front of men. You know?

[Asker]

Yes! Guys are such dogs.

[Mesonfielde]

That sucks but I guess people are just incapable of being civilized. So, sure. For the better of mankind...

[meatballs21]

There are gyms for women only, Goodlife Fitness in Canada operates over 100 of them.

Why aren't you reporting this behaviour to the gym staff? They'll have those douches thrown out.

[blondfrog]

In my country its like that and I can tell you there are some benefits to it but at the end of the day women and men still get raped in my country just like in any other place so it won't stop you from getting harassed completely.

[nickdg]

No, I don't like gyms that exclude an entire gender. I would not like a gym that excluded women just as much as I would not like a gym that excluded me.

[Ruby355]

That's a shitty situation. I don't go to the gym to meet women, or even talk to anyone. I do my workout, then leave. And really, if a woman's really working out its gotta be the last place she wants to be hit on.

[MeghanL]

There are women-only facilities, both as part of co-ed gyms & entirely women-only.

[Nalin]

Ya that's a good idea but I think there are female only gyms also.

[miserybusiness]

There are! At least where I live.

I'm surprised they don't have them in your area.

[CamelBonker]

I suppose they could save money on not needing all those heavy weights in a female only gym! :p lmao

[OrangeBoy]

yes, makes sense. But maybe there is gyms only for women. I think i already heard about.

[Anonymous]

yes of course !
we have tht here

or a gym thats ladies only on some days

[Anonymous]

I have no problem with segregation, makes me a lot of money. Discrimination sells.

[Anonymous]

I don't think there should be gender divided gyms. That gym just needs a better staff to manage it.

[Anonymous]

well for the staring you can do nothing but wear less sexual sports clothes... .

[Onlyinit4fun]

You don't have any female only gyms in your area?

[RationalMale]

Now I'm curious. What city is this gym in?

[Anonymous]

No, i don't think so

[tenofthepeaks]

no, not really.
