A 37-year-old woman named Kerry Rose Schwartz recently faced a dress code incident while working out at her local gym in California. To express her frustration, she took to the popular social media platform TikTok, where she shared her experience and called out the gym for its actions.

In the video, Schwartz explained that she was shamed by the staff at her all-women’s fitness center for wearing leggings during her workout. Surprisingly, her body-contouring leggings were considered against the gym’s rules, and she was called in for a conversation with the owner.

Feeling confused and embarrassed, Schwartz shared her disappointment with her 153,000 TikTok followers. She revealed that the gym owner claimed her outfit was making others feel uncomfortable and offended. This confrontation not only disrupted her workout but also brought back past struggles with body dysmorphia.

“I almost felt shame even though I shouldn’t,” said Schwartz, who wore similar attire every day without any issues. She had joined the gym as a safe and judgment-free space, but the dress code incident made her question the validity of that claim.

As someone who had experienced body image issues in the past, finding a comfortable and enjoyable gym had been life-changing for Schwartz. She didn’t deserve to be singled out and made to feel uncomfortable in a place where she expected support and acceptance.

Now, the question remains: Do you think her outfit was truly offensive?
