Bootcamp woman told she was 'too big' for classes

, saw the post and Facetimed Ms Parratt offering to help.

"I just want her to do well and shove it in his face after because I actually felt for her," he said."Even if someone was huge it doesn't matter," he said. "If someone like that came to my bootcamp I would modify the exercises to ensure she feels comfortable and confident to actually push through and get better results and to ensure she's in a healthy and good mental state.

"Because for someone like that to go to a personal trainer, even a bootcamp where there are loads of people, it takes so much courage.After reading all of the comments she said she was"so grateful of everybody's support"."I've been bullied since I was 15 or 16 and started putting on weight and getting a bit chunky," said Ms Parratt.

"I still suffer it now. People seem to think they can make comments whenever they want to and I don't think it's right, and I'm going to start and stand up for bigger women."

Well, you sensitive millenials, he said it right there “This sort of training won’t suit you”. She could have asked him to recommend some training but nooo she has to be sensitive. Starting the sentence with “Like, I mean” just shows how smart she is. Fat bit

In today's world he has to be careful.

You, Madame, are sufficiently large that you represent an increased injury risk during exercise. I as the boot camp instructor am unwilling to accept that risk to my business- it’s perfectly legitimate

american rubbish

Here we go again, 'we have an obesity problem', 'but don't saying anything that would be wrong'.

At 25 stone, he’s probably doing her a favour and covering his own ass at the same time. I can imagine the situation where she injured herself on day one then sued him. The NHS won’t operate on a person who’s too fat. Same thing here in my view.

If he was able to perform miracles, they'd call him jesus christ

Fat is fat, simples

She is too heavy for a boot camp at that weight. The strain on her body and joints trying to do those exercises could have given her a heart attack. I don't believe the trainer intended any malice. It may not have been nice to hear that but that's the reality.

She looks pretty chonky like. I mean if she is holding the rest of the class back because she’s so slow then ye that’s fair. She needs 1on1 help.

I've know some really over weight people, don't shun they were fit as fck.

She weighed 25 stone and collapsed...is the pavement ok?

Guess he isn’t doing keto

He was honest with her .He hasn't just took her money knowing his bootcamp wasn't suitable for her

You can do it on your own but you have to want to do it for yourself. I was around 23-24 stone when I first started the C25K, I even got up to 10km and got down to 19ish. Then pulled my Achilles trying 50km in a week, I did it on the first day as well 🤦‍♂️.

May Gary Randall the so called Buffmaster be shamed and may his current clients move to another trainer. Shame on him.

And, this is not news STOP wasting our money on people’s 15 mins of fame

Boot Camp's are for folks generally forced on them by po faced physical failures in charge of departments and HR normally Bullies with low self awareness.....

He couldn’t sugar coat it...she’d have ate that too... but come on anyone with a name like buffmaster is an obvious bellend..she should just get on and lose weight..ignore him

And... If she is too far then she is too far. We should stop tip toeing around people who are obese. We should treat them like we do smokers et al

Is she can lose weight herself before seeing him then why bother seeing him at all

How can someone be told they are too fat for fat camp ? Shame on that business.

Those pesky evil men again eh bbc news...regular article of the day slamming the male of the species because of reasons...what will tomorrow bring! Exciting.

Similar to surgeons who often won’t operate on obese people for fear of the high levels of risk associated with the physical strain on their body. “I need an operation - sorry you’re to big” not an ideal scenario but a fact of life....

If someone texts you and it’s so upsetting you collapse I’d say your not ready for climbing sets of stairs lugging sacks of spuds about.. Guaranteed collapse doing that..

Why is this in the news?!?!

There are certain practical/health and safety factors one ought to consider ⚖

It depends on the boot camp no? Are they firing live rounds and stuff if so it would put her at greater risk. If it is just an exercise boot camp it may be too vigorous at her present size. I am saying this as a guy who would probably die of a heart attack if I did any boot camp.

Click bait. Fell for it 🙈

Well, at least you're not drawing any more attention to it.

Isn't that the point? She wouldn't be too big for long. Some of those guys who run the bootcamps think they are SAS: Who Dares Wins FFS

Is this really news ? Im getting fed up with stories like this. I'm sure there are far more important topics on which to report than this !

Take the hint and lose some weight. It’ll do you good.

Loose a shed load of fat and give it another go.

Larger lady living her life: Idiots on the internet: omg lose some weight. Larger lady living her life and losing weight: Idiots on the internet: omg lose some weight. dickheads

Someone just wants their 5 minutes of 'fame'.

Aside from his mis-spellings, his messages were fine. He's happy to help her, but says she needs to lose weight first. What's wrong with that? For her to say she 'started crying and collapsed', well, that's just playing the victim. She should use it as motivation.

By the look of his texts I'm guessing English isn't his forte

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hhhhhheeerruup 2,3,4... now the other sock...

What a douchebag trainer, I know loads of larger ladies that train hard. We have a great trainer that can cope with all sorts of dimensions in one go! I hope this doesn’t put her off her goals, go girl, this guy is obviously not up to the job 💖

He maybe could have been more tactful, but that’s his business really. If she’s too big to do the training she’s too big - he’d know 🤷🏼‍♂️

🙄

Maybe if there was less support for huge people and more emphasis on health then this problem wouldnt exist in the first place. People are far too comfortable.

No to big for glasses

Some people are just too big for 'bootcamp', carrying around that sort of weight and then doing intense and/or impact exercise can severely injury someone, and sometimes the injury can last the rest of their life. It's not harsh, it's the truth.

McDonald's hold them, she should try there

Compo face 2/10

Surely its the personal trainers choice? Now he has this article with private messages plastered over the internet to incite people against him.

well slim then...this is not a news story it's a winge.
