A North Vancouver gym once made news due to its exclusivity. The one rule they had? No skinny people allowed! While issues about gender, ethnicity and weight are of sensitive nature, the controversial gym's rationale wasn't meant to offend, but rather to ensure that their members are comfortable with the environment. People come in different shapes and sizes. Having someone fit and toned working out next to someone obese can cause greater insecurity for the latter, which could make him less motivated during the weight loss journey. Apart from the need to get healthy, weight loss is also about gaining comfort and confidence in one's body. Whether it's in that particular gym or in another local health club, finding a place that gives its members comfort and security may be key in ensuring weight loss success.
