Count me in. 5+ years, 6-7 times a week, never seen ANY criticism or hostility towards overweight people in the gym.

Lots of talking though. I do a lot of classes and have 'gym friends' that I chat to every day about anything and everything. If we complain about anyone, it would be:

People who add loads of weights on in circuit class and don't remove them
People who use their phones/talk while the instructor is speaking
People (men) who invade your personal space
People who don't clear up after themselves
People who don't make any effort at all in the class (it's demotivating for others)

But there is absolutely no judgement or criticism of anyone for their body size/shape.
