Woman Kicked Out Of Gym For ‘Revealing’ Outfit (Photo)

A South Carolina woman says she was kicked out of the gym at her school because her outfit was too revealing, despite the fact that she had worn the same outfit to the gym a number of times before.

According to Mirror, Sarah Villafañe was working out in the gym at College of Charleston, when a staff member approached her and told her that she had to change. 

Villafañe says that she was wearing a “crop top” with a pair of workout leggings, an outfit that she had worn to the very same gym several times.

Sarah wrote in a Facebook post that she was told by the staff member that she had to put on a shirt for “full coverage,” but that she didn’t have anything to change into, so she went in the gym regardless. Shortly after, however, she was kicked out of the gym by the manager.

Villafañe detailed the incident in a Facebook post, accompanied by a photo of the outfit she wore to the gym that day.

Her full post reads:

So I just got kicked out of the College of Charleston student gym for wearing this outfit. Like not allowed to work out. Not allowed to because of THIS OUTFIT THAT I BOUGHT SPECIFICALLY TO WORK OUT IN.

I’ve worn this same outfit all day. Went to 3 classes and spoke personally with each of my professors today and they didn’t have a problem. But when I walked into the gym they asked me to put on a different shirt. Obviously I didn’t bring an extra shirt to the gym and wasn’t about to wear my flannel while working out. So I just said mhm ok and went about my work out pretty pissed off that they even asked me to change.

Then, when I’m in the BACK CORNER of the gym doing abs on the floor, another staff member comes up and asks me to “put my shirt back on.” I said “I have a shirt on.” They say “no that’s not a shirt. You have to wear a whole shirt” I say “how is this not a shirt?” And she says “You need full coverage. If you have a problem, we always have our boss here.” I laughed and said “Alright bring him over here if he has a problem.”

A few minutes later while I’m doing more work outs on the floor, the “boss” comes up. He says “I’m gonna need you to put a shirt on.” Again, I tell them “I am wearing a shirt.” He says “I need you to put on a shirt or I’m gonna have to ask you to leave.” I said “But I HAVE A SHIRT ON.” He says “Are you gonna put a shirt on?” And I said “Well if this isn’t a shirt… no. I’m not gonna put a shirt on.”

WTF COFC. I bought this outfit to work out in because it’s COMFORTABLE. What is the issue? Why can’t I work out in this outfit? Is my belly button distracting to the general 85% male demographic that your gym serves? I’m forced to leave, WHY? Honestly I’m so floored that I just got kicked out for this. DO BETTER COLLEGE OF CHARLESTON.
