A growing trend of men attending pilates classes has sparked outrage among women, who claim they’re being shamed and disturbed by their presence. Many have taken to social media to vent about the issue, with some even calling for a ban on male attendees.
Some women say they’re uncomfortable with men in their “peaceful” exercise classes, citing loud noises, taking up space, and feeling like they’re not welcome. One woman revealed that she stops attending hot yoga classes because a man would sweat on her mat.
However, not all women share this sentiment. Some have welcomed men into their classes, saying pilates is for everyone. But the majority of comments on social media are overwhelmingly against male attendees.
The trend has also led to some men admitting they’re now scared to attend classes due to the judgment and criticism from women online.
The debate highlights a growing issue in the fitness community: men’s participation in traditionally female-dominated exercise classes. While it’s not uncommon for men to join pilates classes, the recent surge in TikTok videos showcasing musclebound guys on reformers has sparked a heated discussion.
Some argue that men have no right to be in these classes, while others see nothing wrong with sharing space and exercising together. But one thing is clear: women are speaking out against male attendees, and it’s having a significant impact online.
