Stop hiring fat f*cks: A TikTok trainer shares a controversial rant after allegedly being banned from 24/7 Fitness
In a viral TikTok post, personal trainer @bookofhamid reveals he was allegedly banned from 24/7 Fitness after repeated warnings, prompting him to rant about the gym hiring 'fat f*cks'. Nihal, who previously faced scrutiny over removing his shirt at an AF outlet, now accuses gyms of prioritizing size over skill, calling them 'diabolical' and urging everyone to stop exploiting fitness pros.
Nihal’s story began when he removed his shirt to 'check himself out' at Tampines Fitness outlets, which he claimed led to his first ban. He later shared another video claiming he was asked to leave after assisting a colleague, adding that he had received a warning about training with his friend. The gym’s website states unauthorised personal trainers are prohibited within premises. However, Nihal insists he synced his workout with his friend, citing CCTV footage showing they were together. He also claims he was instructed to rest longer than two minutes between sets, arguing it's normal for gym-goers.
His comments sparked debate. Supporters praised him for highlighting the issue, while others questioned his tone and the validity of his claims. Some netizens urged him to sue the gym, while others wondered which other fitness brands he might target next. A TikTok comment criticized his use of vulgar terms, stating people would respect his point if he explained clearly.
Nihal plans to challenge the gym by starting a fitness challenge in Singapore, aiming to see if he can be banned from every gym before launching his own. The controversy underscores a growing trend of individuals challenging corporate practices, pushing for more accountability in the fitness industry.
