Brisbane gym’s inappropriate picture

A Brisbane gym has come under fire after it posted an image to Facebook, appearing to condone sexual violence and objectifying women.

Snap Fitness 24/7 Gym shared the picture which showed a woman’s hair being pulled by a male from behind and was accompanied by the text, “Beastmode don’t end in the gym.”

The gym went on to caption that photo saying, “border line inappropriate? (true though hahaha)”

Naturally, people weren’t too happy with the post and slammed them on Facebook.

They’ve since taken the post down and issued an apology.

“Snap fitness would like to formally apologise of any post that is deemed offensive or that portrays violence against women as that is certainly something we do NOT support,” the post read.

“Our recent post is not in support of that and was only post about a couple in love not in any way violent.”

“We apologise for anyone taking this post as offensive as it was not our intention to have it in the wrong way.”

“The post was inappropriate and was removed. We will be more conscious of posts that only promote improving health in the future.”
