Gym slammed for ‘sexist’ December competition…
A Melbourne gymnasium has come under fire after a member slammed its ‘December Challenge’ on social media, claiming it’s “misogynistic.”
The Club Lime member shared a photograph to Reddit of a signal selling the gymnasium’s lifeless dangle problem – an exercise where contributors dangle from a bar with straight arms for as long as potential.
The signal confirmed two prizes up for grabs: one for ladies and one for males.
The ladies’s prize was a tank top from the model Sporty Shorty, while the boys’s prize was a hamper stuffed with power drinks and protein snacks.
“My gym’s idea of equality: Pink top for girls, Entire supplement aisle for boys,” the consumer wrote.

“Dead hang challenge prizes – misogyny hanging on stronger than all of us,” they joked, claiming that “it reads as an assumption of what each gender would prefer … which is dumb.”
The post rapidly struck a chord, racking up 2.7k likes and practically 400 feedback.
Many customers agreed that it didn’t sit proper with them either.
“This is weird. They could have just done the same hamper for any winner,” one individual wrote.

“Why couldn’t they (give the supplements) to the female winners?” another requested.
Others have been more blunt, branding the setup “pure meathead energy,” “cooked,” and “gross.”
“I thought we left this kind of sexism in the 1940s,” one commenter said.
However, some defended the problem, stating that the ladies’s top, value about $65, may very well be related in worth to the boys’s hamper.
Still, many argued the winners ought to have been allowed to “pick what they want.”

Some also prompt the differing prizes might have been donated by separate local companies, and the post was “not that deep.”
“I think you’re reaching here,” one Redditor responded. “So many reasons why they could have done it this way.”
News.com.au contacted Club Lime Malvern for remark, but the gymnasium declined.
It is known that the prizes have been donated by small companies in the world.
