I was taken aback and didn’t make an issue of it and politely left at the end of the class”. 
“I try to interact with the class, showing my personality and put people at their ease. I go near the front so it doesn't seem that I am there to stare of be a problem in the mainly female environment. After one class they can see that my only objective is to get the best workout.”]]> 2017-03-09 20:09:22 UTC https://padlet.com/amyclarepetts/qili8vbskjs3/wish/159118825 Survey Results Analysis amyclarepetts https://padlet.com/amyclarepetts/qili8vbskjs3/wish/159119046 “A great way to work out which is fun and encourages body confidence.” - Female 18-24
