what kind of stupid idiotic dumb arse policy is that? How can you not wear a sweatband? That is included accessory of exercise gear?
This is why I work out at home

Its a policy that I have brought up a number of times because its not evenly enforced in the NY/NJ area. Its halfheartedly enforced in certain neighborhoods of NY but not mentioned at all in other areas such as Rockland County where there is a large orthodox/Hassaic Jewish population where head coverings are popular.
It really is one of the more offensive things about their policies.

This is exactly the issue I have. Sometimes the employees will say something as the person walks in (it is a posted policy). However, MOST times they will not say a thing.
It truly is a policy that needs to disappear as there really is no way for their employees to enforce the policy without running into issues. They bill themselves as a "Judgement Free zone" which directly contradicts their policies since they single out a "certain element".

Why did he wait so long to say something to her? He was cool when she walked in but I think she's right when she was saying the other gym people were scared of her. What a freakin shame.
Is there a safety hazard in wearing a scarf/sweatband or is that just their crazy policy?

I like her.
But yeah, I've been told a scarf (not headband, bandana, or do-rag) was offensive in a restaurant, a gym, a couple of other places too. It's stupid. And yes, it was always after I noticed some body stomping to the front or whispering to the places staff while glancing nervously in my direction. Smh... or sometimes, living in a small Louisiana town, they just point and say it real loud.

Absolutely absurd. So, what if she really had to wear that for religious reasons? I cannot imagine that the headscarf would be offensive. And, yeah... the tats and all made her appear "ghetto" and they don't want that element in the gym.

I love how the camera was shaking when she said she was going to spaz out and say, "look cotdammit"
That's crazy, esp. since as someone mentioned Hasidic women cover their hair too. They might be less likely to visit a mainstream gym, but it's still possible. I wonder if anyone would be ignorant enough to assume that anyone wearing a head covering for religious reasons is always a Muslim.
And then there are those of us who just do it to keep things in check.

Chronically at BSL -_-
I love how she decided to leave before she became another stereotype...but when she said, "...and I'm not about to be the one to go down, because you know they'll call the police on a b!tch so I ain't tryna go to jail" I laughed so hard because that's some stuff my mom would say in a situation like that and April reminds me of my mom so much...she can be sweet, she's smart and takes care of her family...but she can go off...I mean, pop off.

What's the reasoning for these policies? How exactly is somebody "offended" by a scarf?
That's some !@#$% right there.

Wow...I love April. They were wrong for bothering hair about the scarf. Like she said, who care. I agree it was about more than her scarf. They're just uncomfortable with her as a person. That's BS.

Half the population in this country have tats. Is this a gym for old people? Somebody needs to check them. With a lawsuit.
