People hate on my revealing gym clothes — but I refuse to change

Karens are jealous of this toned and tanned gym-goer who likes to show off what she’s got.

Kayla Kaukola regularly posts her workout routine for her 45,100 TikTok followers. She often dons a strapless bandeau top and biker shorts or leggings for her lifting sessions.

In one video, Kaukola invited her followers to “get ready with me,” which started by her trading her slouchy hoodie and sweatpants for her all-black, tight gym getup.

But apparently, not everyone loved her chosen workout attire. Kaukola posted a follow-up video in the same black outfit, in which she wrote, “Gym Karen offended by my bandeau sports bras being too revealing.”

“Take it off,” she mouthed along to a voice in the clip, impersonating the haters. “I would rather die,” Kaukola continued with audio from “Bob’s Burgers,” flexing into the camera before the clip ended.

That attempt still wasn’t enough to shut up some haters.

“Why not just dress appropriately. like why is modesty in public no longer a thing. there’s other people sharing the space,” one disapproving user wrote.

“Not offended just getting second hand embarrassment from it,” another declared.

“Does it stay in place when you lift? I feel like I’d always have to be adjusting it,” one user asked.

“I do have to adjust it but I do not mind,” Kaukola responded.

“I don’t care what you wear but honestly how does it keep you supported??” another question.

Others showed their support for Kaukola.

“You look amazing!! If I looked like that … I’d be well showing of my work,” one wrote.

“Let them b——s be mad idgaf it’s a public space honey go write a yelp review or something about it,” another said.

“It’s literally not even revealing,” someone else added.

“Covers more than a normal sports bra,” another agreed.

Earlier this month, another woman revealed she was shamed her for wearing body-shaping leggings while at an all-women’s fitness center.
