I’m a single mom trying to get back in shape after giving birth. With no one to watch my newborn, I sometimes brought him to the gym. Most women in the class were kind and even helped with the stroller — until one trainer snapped.
He yelled at me in front of everyone, saying I shouldn’t bring my baby and should “stay home.” I felt humiliated and was ready to leave when another woman stood up for me. She called him out, reminded him how hard postpartum recovery is, and reported him to management.
Days later, the trainer was fired. Her support meant everything — but I still wonder if I did the right thing.
