TikToker sparks debate after revealing \u201cridiculous\u201d reason she got kicked out of gym TikTok: blondiekenzzzAfter being kicked out of her local gym for not wearing shoes, a TikToker has sparked a debate online regarding the proper footwear for working out in public. In most cases, shoes and shirts are required for entrance into an event, store, restaurant, or any business where multiple people are visiting at the same time, as it\u2019s a protocol for both safety and health reasons. However, one TikToker who tried to ditch her shoes and only wear socks while working out at a public gym was shocked to hear that she\u2019d be kicked out if she didn\u2019t wear her shoes. Having a toe injury, TikToker Kenzie Greaves took her workout gear and left, later taking to social media to share her story \u2014 leaving the internet to debate who was right in that instance. TikToker couldn\u2019t workout with shoes because of a toe injury Greaves was fairly distraught when she was kicked out of the gym for only wearing socks while lifting weights. After her workout was cut short, she took to TikTok to share her experience at the Australian-based gym called Goodlife, saying, \u201cSo, I just got kicked out of my gym.\u201d Greaves was so upset that she said she didn\u2019t mind \u2018name shaming\u2019 the gym, saying that the situation was \u201cpretty ridiculous\u201d so it was only \u201cfair.\u201d She continued to explain why she was only wearing socks instead of shoes, saying, \u201cI literally have, like, a broken toe with my toenail almost coming off. I\u2019m probably gonna have to have surgery.\u201d Greaves then stressed how she was unable to wear shoes while working out because it would be too \u201cpainful.\u201d Those who viewed her TikTok explainer had many opinions, with some on Greaves\u2019 side and others on the gym\u2019s. One person who swayed towards being on the gym\u2019s side of it all said, \u201cYou become a legal liability. It\u2019s not that deep, all gyms have this rule.\u201d While another pointed to the same point, saying, \u201cAs a physical therapist in gyms for 20 years, it\u2019s the same rule as guys not wearing shirts \u2014 common sense.\u201d However, those who agreed with Greaves were quick to let her know, saying, \u201cThat\u2019s insane. So many people take their shoes off to squat, etc. \u2014 but typical poor customer service at Goodlife.\u201d While another commented, \u201cI wear socks especially for deadlifts because it feels better being flat-footed and I\u2019ve never been kicked out.\u201d Though she left right after a gym employee walked up to her saying she had to leave due to her socks, Greaves could have gone back to that same gym when her injury healed. However, she posted an update saying she had officially canceled her membership with Goodlife.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
