PureGym trainer apologised for 'slave' workout advert and received racist abuse online

"Some of the abuse has been things I am ashamed to say out loud. The most common theme has been in reference to slavery, and my skin colour."

"I have been told 'keep to your white company' and 'we're going to take his black card off him'," Matt says."Things like that - there's no word to describe how that makes any person of an ethnic minority feel." "I've stopped going out as much, my appetite has changed and I'm nowhere near as lively or as positive."Those people attacking and trolling need to know it has an effect, it can put people into a spiral of negativity.PureGym said the post "was removed as soon as it was brought to our attention"
