Canadian Woman Told By Gym Her Breasts Are Too Large

I've seen more than that at the gym. That is relatively conservative.

I've left both the gym and Wal-Marr thinking I needed a cigarette, and I don't even smoke.

An Ottawa woman says she was humiliated and “body shamed” when staff at an Orleans gym told her that her chest was “too large” for her tank top.

Jenna Vecchio, who moved to Ottawa in April from Halifax, said she was working out with her husband on Saturday morning at Movati when a female supervisor confronted her about her attire. She was told other clients at the gym had complained her top made them feel uncomfortable.

Vecchio says she was confused and seriously embarrassed, especially since other women wore similar tank tops. She and her husband left without finishing their workout.

“I said I can’t help it that my chest may appear larger than some other women’s here because of my small frame, but I can’t do anything about it,” Vecchio told Metro.

“I felt humiliated. I was made to feel uncomfortable. I felt degraded."
She said she was told she could finish her workout and come back to the gym – in a t-shirt.

But in absence of a detailed dress code, Vecchio simply feels she was singled out based on her looks.

If it was just the top that made them feel uncomfortable she could just remove it and keep working out. I wouldn't complain.
