Consent Form For A Gym: Fill & Download for Free

Depends on the country and the context.In the US, consent is not an affirmative defense against a charge of assault or battery. Legitimate sporting events are not considered assault or battery, however.You’re sparring in a licensed dojo? That’s okay. You’re boxing in a gym? Totally fine.You and your pal agree to a fistfight to settle a score? Not okay, and you can be charged with assault and/or battery. You and a bunch of friends set up a club in someone’s basement a la Fight Club? Hell no.People have even been arrested and prosecuted for consensually spanking their partners during sex.

So I'm a 23 year old female who usually keeps to themselves. I tend to have a resting bitch face because it usually prevents people from talking to me.So I was trying to do some seated rows but the grip I was looking for was next to a pair (man and woman, 50+) who were working out. I waited for a pause in their workout and walked over and politely asked “hey, are you guys using that grip?”They said no, I grabbed it, went back to do my thing. All good. We move on with our workouts and I go up to the pullup machine to do my usual workout.During a break the guy from before walks by alone and asks “did ya get a good workout from that thing?”. I was a lil weird out by the question but politely responded with “yeah" and a nod.He proceeds to grab my upper arm in a painful vice grip, give me a creepy grin and say “yeah I can tell!”I was too surprised to say anything. What the fuck gives you any right to touch me without my consent? I'll never understand why people like the guy feel the need to touch complete strangers.

This was in seventh grade, and oh boy, that teacher gave me the creeps.Let’s talk about how the teacher treated other kids and then let’s talk about my experiences.The teacher is a gym teacher (We’ll call him Mr. W) and he’s terrible at his job.For a gym teacher you’re supposed to have kids do athletic activities while also having fun. This man did not, instead, we played the same thing every day and it made everyone hate that class. Actually, the majority of the class were boys and there were not a lot of people (Less than 20)There were only around five or six girls (Including myself.)Teachers are supposed to treat everyone equally, right? This guy treated girls much more differently than boys. He didn’t even bat an eyelash if girls sat out, played on their phones, talked instead of playing the game etc.He did however, notice if boys did those things immediately and scold them.He also let girls leave early and go to the restroom for as long as they wanted.He also gave nicknames to girls, tried to talk with them a lot and more.Now the moment you were waiting for, what are my experiences?He always tried to make small talk with me, like complimenting my hair, or talking about my vegetarianism. Also; Mr. W is supposed to be a gym teacher and a health expert (He also taught health class.) he did not know the difference between vegans and vegetarians lol.He encouraged me to take my clothes off.AND THE FINAL STRAW PEOPLE:One day we were playing volleyball (Which we never did so that was new)I apparently served wrong and Mr. W came over to improve my stance. Without my consent, he touched me. He touched my thighs and arms to apparently make me stand in the right position. I didn’t struggle or tell him to get the hell away from me, I just froze like a damn idiot.I did give him angry looks though.I remember him saying; “Why are you looking at me like that? I’m just trying to help.” That bastard..—Remember people, whether you are a man, woman, boy, girl - whatever - don’t let anyone make you feel uncomfortable or touch you when you don’t like it. Tell them to fucking stop and get away from you, scream if they won’t stop, or get physically violent.No, the teacher didn’t get in trouble, no I didn’t tell anyone. The end.
