I can understand GP transferrals for physical problems, but weight? Unfair. I had a car accident (non fault) - maybe I should have asked my physio for a letter saying I can have free membership?

It won't help anyone if you can just come out of the gym and buy chips and beer in the cafe though - I do hope that's not free...

I'm all for it. It's so much better than the muscleheads occupying the machines for an hour at full capacity so they can get their bulk on. Meanwhile, I'm on the next machine going moderate speed when another muclehead taps my shoulder to ask me when I'll be done. Jerkoffs. I'm so glad that while the muscles in their arms and legs get bigger, the one in between their legs looks relatively smaller. I'll take a fattie with a body complex and a low threshold for workouts any day. Fatties at the gym? I’m all for it.

All this media manipulation to make obesity anti-social and to make obese people unpopular. It worked with smokers too. Who will be the next target - drinkers? Then what? My GP has never offered me free gym membership, but then I am healthy despite being obese. See, it’s working.

Cowardly perhaps but hey she's the one who was so keen on having kids. For all I know it could be packed to bursting with hot sexy babes at lunchtime and in the evenings but first thing in the mornings there's usually only a dozen or so old farts.

Is there a weigh-in at the desk "you are too light, you have to pay"? Many people would fuck off home and eat buns until they were heavy enough to go for free. Nice to know my tax money is being well spent - gym for fatties and water for council workers - lovely. Do they wear special clothes? I would print them with the logo "Too fat to pay".
