Disabled Woman Goes Off On "Gym Rat" Who Repeatedly Criticised Her Workout Routine And Diet

Here's the original Reddit post by u/dani21002:

A lot of "gym rats" did not approve of the way OP works out.

The "gym rat" started criticizing OP's workout routine even though she didn't seem interested in his advice.

OP's response surprised the "gym rat," but he still continued with his rant.

OP was unsure whether her reaction was appropriate and decided to get her sister's opinion.

OP then added an Edit at the end to provide more context about the situation and thank people for their support.

Here's how the Reddit community reacted to u/dani21002's story:

OP thanked the previous user for their comment and replied to it:

Some people have ulterior motives and don't take no for an answer.

OP should listen to her body and ignore gymgoers.

OP's health has been improving ever since she started working out.

It was entirely warranted and OP did nothing wrong.

This user with cerebral palsy also shared some of their struggles.

Don't make unsolicited comments about someone's body.

The advice the "gym rat" gave could have dangerous consequences.

Some people love to get too personal.

Once she politely declined his advice, he should've stopped.

It can be exhausting not being visibly disabled.

He should have backed off after OP's first reply.

Some people need to learn to keep their advice to themselves.

These jerks need to be put in their place immediately and swiftly.

Gyms are filled with these "gym rats" that OP mentioned, some of them provide helpful advice, but some just love bragging about their knowledge and might even present you with misleading information. OP politely denied the guy's request, but he kept on pushing, which led to him getting insulted. She tried to prevent it but he made sure to keep on pushing.
