That man is a hero.

Don't ever feel embarrassed. My only advice to those who are too scared to go to a gym.
HollyHollz
BAD ASS! i always see this same over weight guy at the gym and i always wanna cheer him on! GO GO GO!!!!
ikmbaa
BECAUSE THE BEST WAY TO TAKE AWAY ATTENTION IS TO WEAR COSTUMES AND TAKE PICTURES
fehleepeh
Thats so fuckin awesome.
ibeandrew
Dude, so much respect.
AFeralLady
You know, the chunky guy is pretty cute. Props to him for working to improve his health AND having awesome friends! ᴵ'ᵈ ᵈᵃᵗᵉ ʰᶦᵐ⋅⋅⋅
BootsIsMyCat
Well good for those guys
Qbert
So much respect for the overweight guy, it take a lot to just go the gym so don't ever be embarrassed about it. Your friend rocks too!
kevinallover
Nobody gives a damn who's at the gym as long as they're not curling in the squat rack.
Vibesx
In my opinion, overweight guys deserve more respect than others. They choose not to sit their asses at home and actually change something.
danjo
Honestly people at the gym are usually glad to see anyone there, because we know you're trying to better yourself.
IWantedToBePrincessConsuelaBanananhammockButICouldnt
douche at gym "haha you so fat, you should lose 200 lbs". why the fuck do you think I'm here?
transgirlpinup
Can we nominate this guy for GGG for the year?
meowman
That is a good good man.
rylecx
Just saying but most people will respect you for working out, it's just the ones that troll obnoxiously to down play it that get annoying
turbovagina
I love seeing overweight people at the gym. If they can do it, I can too.
prettierandyoungerbutnotanybetteroff
Is he single? >.> I mean really either one of them will do...
iwishicouldbuystockincatvideos
i wish over weight people wouldnt feel weird at gyms as a gym rat im happy your there
GergsJohnson
Keep it up big dude. You remind me of myself a few years back. Few years of eating well and going to the gym now -150lbs. Good luck!
wowchick
I used to go to the gym but felt uncomfortable. I am "building" my own gym at home. I have an elliptical and treadmill so far!
littlegingerone
get some weights as well! if you are like me (poor and no muscles at al) canned food like baked beans work just as well!
dababe
You have one amazing friend! And you shouldn't be embarrassed! Just think, you're doing more than most! xoxo
zavalava
I give him major bro points but in reality most people at the gym mainly focused on themselves and the occasional hot chick/dude
SDsuperchargers
The big guy isn't even unattractive. Honestly I would be looking for the whole other reason!
batman89
But also, people are self conscious and think everyone is judging them.
walterpeck
Pretty much this. In fact the fattest guys I see are often training with a fit guy.
MathSalts
semper mirin'
zavalava
I rarely notice anyone doing anything outside of my workout radius. Sometimes ill look around but I'll be to my workout
fitztm08
Don't even have to be hot. Chick/Dudes always distract me.
InsipidYouth
Depends on where you go... I have been to two gyms that have been less than pleasant because of judgmental people.
ford1svt
The "overweight" person does not look out of place at the gym and the theatrics are completely unnecessary...
bowssowce
You're comoletley right but as long as he feels insecure it doesn't matter if others understand why
bowssowce
*why hes there
yarfyarf
Whether you think he doesn't look out of place or that the theatrics are unnecessary doesn't really have any bearing on how the guy feels.
Iamtheonewholurks
As a pretty fit person, I have the utmost respect for overweight people in the gym. Anyone who looks down on them is complete scum.
ajb32x
I'm the same way. I think it's great people are getting to the gym!
ChalupaBatman834
I remember back when I was worried people would judge me because of how tiny and skinny I was. Thankfully I never stopped going.
TheTerrorThatFlapsInTheNight
I didn't really think about things like that before, but after reading comments like your's I have started to feel the same way!
AverySmith
This happened at Fort Hays State University. My friends were talking about this in class.
unicornsnstuff
I go there Ive seen these guys while working out! I respect him so much for working out there its intimidating with all the atheletes
TylerWayman1
I thank you for your respect. Next time you see us be sure and say hello... Thank you
unicornsnstuff
Your welcome keep up the good work!!
RubiksKlube
Shouldn't he be traipsing around other parts of the gym and not stand right behind the guy who doesn't want attention?
yarfyarf
Who's to say he is standing behind his friend the whole time? This is one moment captured in a photograph.
DoesThisWorkQuestionMark
Obviously the pictures have to be of the together, but that doesn't mean he's always hovering around his friend. Sorry for my drunk grammar.
CrimeBrulee
I think the bro is trying to demonstrate that no one cares, or alternatively they are being embarrassed together.
tplk
I think he feels like a boss in that costume and not even close embarrassed
CrimeBrulee
I mean "being embarrassed". Obviously that's the point he's trying to make, rather than trying to distract people's attention.
ChaosCuntTroll
And draws more attention by standing next to him.
EyeTeechInglish2DaYooth
right?
yarfyarf
I doubt he's standing beside him the whole time. And anyway, it's about moral support more than anything else. Solid friendship.
lesserknowncharacter
...and posting it online.
EyeTeechInglish2DaYooth
right?
inspiringandfunnyusernamecoolheh
In the end, what matters if he there for support, nothing else, if he is a costumed douche taking shot of overweights at the gym, fuck him.
AskingTheRealQuestions
Not to mention posting it online.

Everyone at the gym deserves respect. No matter how out of shape you are- at least you're there, you're trying, you're improving.
v1sual
too bad the majority of dude bros that go to the gym are complete and utter tools who don't do this.
eddiethirdbar
damn right

Except fir the guy curling in the squat rack. I hate him

they all deserve high fives

Taylurker
It's that kinda thinking that got me going to the gym at my university.. I'm plump and there's loads of really fit people, but I'm trying xD
DanNeedsLoveToo
I actually respect the elders and the "overweight" people in gym. They're like, my motivation. What's my excuse when I see them working out.
BaxterTheMiniatureBuddha
It's always baffled me that people would judge others at the gym for their looks. They're doing something to better themselves!
fullofwastedpotential
They don't really mind, if anything they're proud. They all know you gotta start somewhere
MyLifeisaComplicatedDrinkingGame
Except for CrossFit. They TALK about going to the gym more than they're at the gym.
LivinginLuling
Why is that I wonder? I Do triathlons. We only talk about our training with other triathletes. Except maybe on race day.

So much this! It doesn't matter how big or small you are. You are lapping everyone on the couch.
TowerJunkie
I agree to a point. But I've met plenty of assholes that really need to be kicked in the teeth. They give weightlifters a bad name.
renn0814
You're Goddamn Right
tsamneb
i respect the skinny guys in the weight room more than the ripped bros. i know how hard it was for them to even walk in.
japanforsale
I respect the heavies more than I do anybody else. It takes infinitely more will power to not only make it to the gym, but kick fat's ass.
complimentpin
yeah, i respect moreso overweight people who go to the gym!
rascal3001
I don't agree. Some ppl at the gym put in 1% effort and take up machines and just have bad gym etiquette. Those ppl are annoying. (1/2)
rascal3001
I started off extremely skinny and worked my ass off to get results. When I see others just taking it easy I don't get why they're there.

My favorite guy at the gym is the extreamly heavy guy. He can't do much but what he can do, he does with everything he's got.

it isn't an issue anymore, since I'm a regular for 3 years now, but it was, and it got to me, and I wish I've read your comment sooner

i am sorry i wasnt there for past you! but great news for present and future you!! well done my dear :)
memeallthethings
Unless you don't wash your gym clothes enough and you don't wipe off the machines. Fuck that guy.
Lexidoodle
Or the guy that doesn't rerack his weights. Fuck that guy too.
kileelee
And the guy who sits on machines/equipment for ages without doing anything.
Thaifortune
If you're at the gym you're already doing better than me. So nothing but respect here....unless you plaster it all over my facebook
yoyo24
Why not? I am allowed to post what I want on Facebook. Maybe I have friends and family that want to see how I am doing?
yteka99
If you go to the gym and don't post it on facebook, did you really even go to the gym at all?
LivinginLuling
I know that it can be annoying but some people do find inspiration in seeing other people go to the gym regularly and change their lives.
WhoDoesThat
This. Don't go to the gym just to show it of for your friends
zavalava
I hate when people post or take pictures at thw gym. Go to workout not to show people you work out
Alexkirkp
I am a bit jundgemental for two weeks after new years, the other 50 weeks every year are all respect though.
vaginapower
I will always be judgmental of the people who use the machines simply as a bench so they can text the whole time, though. >.>
kileelee
This!
ineedbeermoney
i can definitely respect that. New years resolutioners are the worst at the gym. Not because they're new but because they don't stay.
zavalava
I avoided the gym for the first 3 weeks of the new year due to high volume of people who will only drop out shortly after starting
memeallthethings
I mostly ignore everyone at the gym anyway. I am not a fan of human interaction when I'm getting my sweat on. Feels too much like an orgy.
NiteFury
yep and u are all by yourself onthe treadmills and someonejust has to go to theone next to youand try to talk to you whenyou have headphones
LivinginLuling
I like to pretend like I'm invisible when I run. Otherwise, I'd be self-conscious.
IntracolonicEXPLOSION
Yeah, in all normal and decent gyms, everyone respects the hell out of everyone, Nobody needs to be afraid to join a gym.
iwanttobeapenguin
I don't know how to use the equipment and would have no idea what kind of stuff to even be doing and how much and how long and ahhhh!
IntracolonicEXPLOSION
Ask the gym instructors there! most are more than happy top help with all of that.
iwanttobeapenguin
Doesn't that cost extra?
IntracolonicEXPLOSION
Usually a personal trainer will, but most gyms will have instructors on hand who just patrol the gym and help for free.
LeafWrassler
Exactly I have never met a mean person at the gym. Everyone started from some point and knows how it felt those first years.
MmMerrifield
You must already be in shape, or have never been to one of those trendy fitness clubs.
LeafWrassler
Not really, I started going about a year and a half ago, 5-6 days a week. I am in the Army, but never saw my self as super "big".
zavalava
Been going to the gym almost a year now and most attention ive gotten was when a guy asked if I needed a spotter orif he could use the bench

I go to a YMCA and my only complaint is children running around in the adult wellness areas.

I think some of this "gym hate" is perceived, but either way it makes it harder for newbies.
MRBEEFCAKE
Some? More like the vast majority of it.
LeafWrassler
Yeah, I used to think people were looking and judging me, but as I went more I noticed everyone was just doing their own thing.
nomnomfeetz
Same, I'm a tall, long haired, lanky dude and i got no negative attention at the gym.
CharmingAndSexyGentlemanStarshipCaptain
Just avoid gyms filled with asshole muscle heads and you're set.
MathSalts
Yeah, this raises a valid point; the only assholes at gyms are out of shape gits who take out their insecurities on people already in shape.
FelipeRios
Really? I also found that the muscle heads, especially those that are probably on steroids, are usually the nicest
LeafWrassler
True, true, I go to 24 hour Fitness and have been for a year and a half. And yet to run into someone like this.
DihydrogenMonoxidePoisoning
You'd be surprised at the amount of "muscle heads" who are actually really nice guys, don't judge a book by its cover!

True, but I also heard a lot of heart aching stories from overweight people who got jeered out of a gym because of muscleheads. I think (1)
