A woman who was reportedly asked to leave a gym in Australia because her outfit showed too much skin has shared more information about what happened. Gabi Goddard was working out at a studio on Sydney’s north shore on August 14 when she was approached by a staff who asked her to go home and change into different clothes if she wanted to continue her session.

When she asked why, the 27-year-old was told that a teacher chaperoning a group of teenage pupils at the facility was ”concerned” about ”children being distracted” by her revealing ensemble. Enraged, Gabi shared a scathing complaint she sent to the school principal in an Instagram post which quickly went viral.

But she’s since discovered it was the gym owner who took issue with her outfit after mistakenly believing she was wearing scanty lingerie on the outside of her shorts. In a piece for Mamamia, Ms Goddard revealed that the staff had initially asked if she was ”wearing a G-string.”

Unaware that her shorts were on inside out, she said the question left her ”dumbfounded” as she couldn’t comprehend why she was being asked about her underwear. ”G-strings are all I ever wear; they’re comfortable and I like having no lines underneath my clothing. Wait, this is INSANE. Why am I defending my underwear choices to the gym,’ she said.

The owner then explained how the ruched design on the back of her shorts – specifically designed to enhance the behind – made it look as if she had slipped underwear over them, and asked if she had clothes she could change into or a towel to wrap around her waist. Ms Goddard replied that ”it would be difficult to deadlift in a towel” and agreed to leave before raising the matter in a complaint to the school principal.

We all have days we want to look a bit like a boy, right? Or at least days where we look like a boy regardless and it seems easier to roll with it. WELL, I bought these pants on one of my very feminine days, wearing an off-the-shoulder, floaty red linen midi dress. I must have been wearing the dress for too many hours because my brain snapped (or something more scientific) and wanted an immediate, drastic change. So not only did I buy these mint traveller pants by #carlieballard, I bought them two sizes too big to make sure they looked as boyfriend-y as possible. As soon as my husband saw them, he asked if they came in his size. Apparently I was successful. P.S. Like all the clothes I invest in nowadays, I wear these pants ALL the time. If you are feeling girly, chuck a silk cami and heels with these and you’ve got yourself an excellent drinks-with-the-gals outfit . P.P.S. The top is the same #rubynz one worn in my most recent overalls post. Because I re-wear things. On social media. ?. . Shout out to @linneavvictoria for being my shopping buddy that day ???
