Posted by niju (178 days ago)

i m so upset, what can i do about this if u were me ?

i went to the spinnng class in Ifc at 1:00 time today . when i m about to get on a bike.. there was all tall blonde lady said to me : i m always here. i always use this biike " so she kicked me ou t,, and then after 5 sec .. i said to her ," this is very rule of u " she went " NO treally ?" .. if u were me what should i do ,, i feel bulled ,, and i m trying to let go , but is very hard ..

i feel like i should stand up for myself .


Thanks guys ..
she knows a lot of ppl in the gym and I m not the social one , if i create any drama , that will look bad on me or she might gossip around.
If i said something to her. don;t u think i m the one who is start the fight first?plus she knows most of the ppl in the class . i feel her so disrespectful. I didn't stand up for my self and i feel very sad . I never expect i will get treated like that in such a high standard gy m , u know ?i m an Aisan i feel she is looking down on me at the same time,( she is super skinny and super tall 6 ') , if i were a BLack woman I dont; think she will have the guts to kick me out of " her "bike " mess with me .

any one experience dealing with rule ppl ?( i knowI shouldn't let these ppl to get to me , ,but they do )

you should have fought back or asked a staff to assist you on the matter

It's a bit late now to worry about what you should have said. Next time, just say, "Well so do I so you will have to use another machine". You've basically given her the okay to do this to you or someone else again. Next time, stand your ground.

Irrespective of what race/colour you are - you should not feel this way. Unfortunately there are bullies within all age groups and if you don't stand up to them then they will continue to feel superior (even though they are not!)...
I cannot stand rudeness whatsoever, so had I overheard/seen your situation I would have intervened.
That said, you need to stand up for yourself. Next time you are at the said gym, I would purposely get on the bike at the same time but this time stand your ground and make her take you off - I bet she doesn't;)

nad if she still acts the same way, tell her to stick on a nameplate on the bike so other users will know..that'll shut her up

niju - thats a horrible experience! Doesnt your gym have pre-class bike bookings? I guess not eh?

Next time say first come first serve, and tell her to find another bike. Easy.
