I got kicked out of the gym for having an inch of stretch-marked belly showing – I didn’t change and got petty revenge
A STAY-AT-HOME mom has shocked many people after revealing why she was asked to leave her local gym.
Lauren Shealy (@theshealyfam) admitted that she decided to get revenge because she didn’t agree with their decision to kick her out.
She has racked up over 42,000 followers on TikTok, where she gives an insight into her family life and body transformation journey.
She took to the social media platform to vent her frustrations after her outfit was deemed unacceptable for a workout at the gym.
The fitness fanatic donned a black crop top, burgundy leggings, and tied her hair into a high ponytail so that it wouldn’t get in the way during her exercise.
However, she failed to make it past the entrance of the gym before being asked to leave.
The text over the video read: “Just got kicked out of the gym for having an inch of stretch-marked belly showing, so now I’m being petty and running on the track right outside where I guess my shirt is legal now.”
Lauren appeared in good spirits as she smiled broadly and ran on the track field despite having been told to cover her body.
She captioned the post: “You’re right, I should put the belly button away.”
She included the hashtags #fyp, #betimadeyoulook, and #imadeyour look.
The post was accompanied by Meghan Trainor’s popular song Made You Look and went viral with over 27,000 views.
Over 3,400 people liked the video and commenters argued her gym outfit shouldn’t have caused any outrage.
One person wrote: “Kicked out of the gym in full leggings. Dude girls are literally doing gym in bikinis and they call it gym wear.”
Another said: “That was extremely rude of these people! You are beautiful no matter what!
“God created stretch marks and they are beautiful.”
A third said: “What? How could a gym kick someone out for having their stomach showing?”
A fourth added: “She has full pants on and a tank top? What’s the issue? An inch of her stomach?”
However, not everyone defended Lauren as they claimed that there should be a strict dress code in the gym.
“The gym isn’t a strip club. It’s long past due for some corrective action,” one person wrote.
