Black People Not Welcome
I’d signed up online through active & fit direct, but when I physically showed up to work out, I rang the doorbell, then awkwardly continued to make direct eye contact text with this White guy sitting only a few feet away who didn’t feel bothered to answer the door, then finally when a woman did come out to “greet” me, she literally stood in the doorway, defensively blocking the entry with both arms out, as if I was a threat, and when I said I’d signed up online, she quickly was like “you’d still have to pay more for a real membership here”, and looked me up and down as if that would be the end of things, and when I said “that’s fine”, she continued to say “well we only grant memberships to people who will be here long term”, again somehow implying that that wasn’t possible for me? I just walked away feeling super put off, but it was obvious that they didn’t want to let a Black Woman in, plain and simple.
My husband and I were in town for a few days, so we came and worked out in the afternoon when the heat
was at its highest. We both CrossFit so we were pleasantly surprised when the gym had a functional fitness area.
