A “woke” gym/fitness studio in Canada is reportedly charging white gymgoers twice as much as non-white gymgoers.
R Studios, a gym based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, is charging $30 for white gymgoers who “drop in” but only $15 for so-called BIPOC gymgoers who “drop in,” according to the Daily Mail.
BIPOC is a ridiculously “woke” term that stands for black, indigenous, and so-called “people of color,” except for white people. FYI, white is also a color.
This policy violates Canada’s anti-discrimination law, namely the Nova Scotia Human Rights Act:
R studios in Nova Scotia charges double for white people, in violation of Sections 5(1) of the Nova Scotia Human Rights Act.

The Nova Scotia Human Rights Act prohibits discrimination “on the basis of race, color, religion, creed, sex, sexual orientation, or physical disability.”
The gym also reportedly offers an unlimited class membership at $149 for so-called BIPOC customers. That’s $40 less than the $189 rate that white customers have to pay.
The policy has gone viral thanks to Jeff Evely, a retired Canadian veteran who posted about it on the social media platform X on Sunday.
According to Evely, the Nova Scotia Human Rights Commission (NSHRC) refused to act when he previously complained about the gym’s racist policy.
“Don’t let the NSHRC, Joseph Fraser, continue to defraud taxpayers of his big, fat salary, like every other senior bureaucrat in Nova Scotia,” Evely wrote on social media, referencing the commission’s CEO.
“Like the rest of them, he’s not going to grow a spine anytime soon. Build a bandwagon for him to climb onto. Pressure works on cowards, like Joey,” he added.
Other critics have also blasted the policy:
The R stands for racist

I find it insulting to identify myself as a Person of Colour. We’re people… one price for all, otherwise it’s just discrimination.

@rstudio how dare you. Imagine if we reversed and said white only would have a discount. You are shameful. I don’t know why people would go to such a racist gym.

I’m just not going anywhere I have to pay more. I don’t know how anyone would degrade themselves paying more based on skin colour. Lots of “BIPOC” ppl make more than me I’m sure also.

“I’m going to identify as black to save 50 percent,” another social media user wrote, mocking the gym and its absurd policy.
Hilariously, one black gymgoer described seeing only white people at the gym, surprise, surprise.
“I went there with one of my colleagues once, and I was the only black person there lol,” they wrote on the online platform Reddit. “Side note to such places that offer these types of discounts: you’re condescending and dumb.”
“Treat me equally by charging me the same price as everyone else. Offering me a pity discount doesn’t solve whatever internal issues your owners are going through. I would never go there knowing I paid less than anyone else. Buy your token representation some other way,” they added.
R Studios responded to the backlash quietly by removing references to the race-based pricing from its website. The studio has also disabled comments on all its social media accounts.
What R Studios did with its pricing scheme was embrace so-called “equity,” a backwards policy that calls for rectifying past discrimination (like during Jim Crow) by implementing modern discrimination against white people (and Asians).
The most common form of “equity” in action is affirmative action, in which white and Asian students are discriminated against to prop up and supposedly give a “helping hand” to black and Latino students.
Equity is thought of as groups with equal outcomes. Each race in equal numbers in prominent positions.
Yet equity is often intended as a historical balance. Few whites today to offset only whites in the past.
Discrimination will be extreme to achieve that historical balance. pic.twitter.com/zsBaJ4ixct
