I think it’s great. Most people aren’t totally bulky and huge under natural circumstances. Pretty sure humans supposed to be relatively skinny.

Yes they are too skinny. Why would I want to go to a gym that would make me look like a famine victim? I go to the gym to get fit. Those ads are nasty and unappealing. I bet none of them could lift a 5 pound weight.

As for the morons on here who buy into the obesity myth. Being underweight is worse for your health than being overweight. And even if the pseudoscience you believe were true than the solution would be to market gyms to the people who need them. People who look like these women need food marketed towards them, not a gym where they will get hurt opening the door.

None of these models are anorexic. Sex sells. Society has adapted to us, the consumer. These ads from the way I see it are a form of encouragement. You wanna look like her or him you got to work for it. You think that these models got their body to be the way it is just by sitting on their bum. Really now folks, it’s called a personal trainer and a dietitian that will give you all the answers you need to reach in a healthy way if you’re really that concern. I have to agree with Pink on this one, we have more overweight issue than there are underweight in America.

Well this ad serves the male population. Good luck guys on finding such a woman while the rest of us average gals will just laugh at ya.

You people don’t know what anorexic is. These models are NOT.

Well if it increases sales, it does the job, if not, well they missed the mark. A lot of people don’t like looking at starving people.

Too skinny for what? If no one wants them, I’ll be happy to take them.

Yes they are too skinny…but then again, since when do ads ever relate to real people? Ans: they never do, ads are always Madison avenue crap…

Oh, give me a break.

Excessive skinniness is not America’s number one weight problem.

Unless all the fat women I see have eaten the thin ones.
