Do you know what it feels like to be mocked by someone who’s supposed to represent “health” and “inclusivity”? I do. A trainer from this gym used me as a punchline for likes.

Body Temple Fitness is well respected in the community and has proven to be a well known and professional business for over 20+ years. We take accusations like this very seriously, and we want to be clear: no trainer or staff member from our gym was involved in the situation you're describing. We have thoroughly reviewed this and the person you’re referencing is not a BTF employee. Our team has never body shamed anyone and we do not appreciate you trying to tarnish our good name and work with your reviews. Our gym is built on values of inclusivity, respect, and professionalism. We sympathize with you and all parties in the video which you were part of and what many people may have commented on,but that has nothing to do with our business. However, it’s very important that reviews only reflect on actual experiences with our facility and staff! We ask that you kindly remove these reviews as they are false. Thank you. Guru

BE CAREFUL!!! DONT COME HERE!!!! One of Body Temple Fitness’s trainers recorded me at Popeyes, without my consent, posted the video online with intent to body shame me. People even approached me at my workplace, which is when I learned about it!!!! I find it extremely UNPROFESSIONAL that a fitness trainer would exploit someone’s likeness, use body shaming for clout. Personally, I would never attend a gym that allows trainers to promote themselves this way. It makes me seriously question the integrity and values of the business with trainers like this. How can you trust someone with the most vulnerable point of your life when they DONT RESPECT BIGGER PEOPLE!!!!!! This is the trainer!!!! Be careful
