Skinny shaming is the real problem.
Oh, so sarcasm wins debates for you does it? I've faced real issues growing up half-native in a predominantly white area and the occasional issues I faced when I was obese didn't even come close to that. Nobody should ever feel made inferior for what they look like, but at least when I was obese I could lose weight, I can't change my DNA. So don't get me started on what's worse.
None of it is good. Making fun of people who go to "sissy" health clubs isn't good either.
PF isn't a sissy club and I don't think I've heard anyone actually claim that here. It doesn't meet my needs but that doesn't mean others don't find it useful and I know of some pro bodybuilders that have worked out at a PF now and then and find it adequate in a pinch for them.
I don't agree with some people's premise that everyone there is not serious about fitness, though.

I'm pretty sure they don't disinfect the barbels or gym mats and I find that disgusting. My friend got staph and we just figured it was from a mat in a group fitness class.1

I was discussing whoever feels obliged to complain about the standards that "society" sets (perhaps that wasn't you, but sure seemed like it).
No one wants to hear about the mediocre. Impossible ideals are set for everyone to deal with.
Get over it.3 -
Annoyances at the gym! Well, they aren't annoyances to me but....Guys who wear manbuns, yoga pants and toe shoes at the same time make me giggle. Kinda hard to not laugh in the middle of my set. Guys that are puffer fish, peacocks or guys with imaginary lat syndrome make me laugh too. Sometimes they hear me and make their way to the movie room/safe space to gather their emotions after being offended by my giggle. People who whine about weights being dropped are annoying, these are the same people that text or instagram while occupying a machine. Women that wear a lot of makeup all dressed up but don't really workout to break a sweat and take selfies while occupying a machine. We have two gyms owned by the same company, one is more of a social club type atmosphere, the other is a hardcore noisy gym for serious lifters. Oh yeah, I don't care if you wipe down the equipment. I wash my hands or take a shower afterwards. I didn't wear a helmet when riding a bike as a kid either, also drank out of the water hose outside the house when thirsty and I didn't die. Really the only ones that annoy me are the politically correct easily offended people that complain about everything. You can do whatever you want in the gym around me, I don't care. You do you and I'll do me.8

Men wear toe shoes at your gym?
Every blue moon you'll have a guy come in wear those rubber shoes that look like toe socks,lol. They don't last long though. There are a few manbun guys though.

Fat is short form for stupid, lazy, unworthy, gross, dirty, etc.
If you believe that a handful of mean rude people is equal to an entire society mocking you day in day out, then we can agree to disagree.
Again, 70% of society IS overweight themselves. The people who are fit are who is "a handful".
And yet are 99% of the media...imagine that! Again, this is off topic.
I sincerely apologize, it was pretty far back but was it you who claimed that fat people were clogging up grocery store aisles? Anyway somebody did, as I'd they were actually bigger than their shopping carts @.@
I just want to address this, since Steven didn't. No, that wasn't him.1 -

Funny story, i like to bring up often... my boyfriend decided to get some vibrams a few years ago. I don't know if he has very sensitive feet but he could only wear them for a couple hours without getting pain, especially walking on flat surfaces.
He also had a similar issue a couple years later when we bought a home that had *only* hardwood floors.

I do like the people that cut the treamill up high then jump on only to be shot off the back,lol.3

Actually people who like to deadlift or squat barefoot will wear those since most gym dont allow bare feet.
There is a purpose.1 -
I still laugh quietly as to not offend the manbun guy with imaginary lat syndrome.1

Most wear socks or squat shoes. Lot of guys just wear socks.1 -
Can you clean Vibrams? They just seem really gross with all the sweat and foot skin rubbing off in there.0

Serious lifters don't use them. Of course they probably have never tried them either.
