I got dress-coded at a military gym – working out on base is strict, I only showed a centimeter of skin | The Sun

A FITNESS fan took her workout to the military base gym, which has led to a dress code violation.

The military wife maintained that she only showed about a centimeter of skin.

Audrey Babcock (@audreyisbabcock) took to TikTok to show her offending athletic wear.

Babcock donned an all-black workout set with gym shorts and a cut-off tank top.

"Working out on base," she wrote over the video.

She showed herself doing overhead workouts while training her triceps.

The audio was a viral TikTok narration saying: "Is this say yes to the dress or say yes to the s**t?"

"Dress coded over a centimeter of back," she added in the caption.

The video came as part of a trend of women exposing outdated dress code violations.

Many have found themselves sent home from work, the gym, or even from school due to their attire.

Dress codes can prove to do more harm than good according to some women who say the wardrobe policies have nothing to do with their clothes, but rather their body types.

For example, some women with unusual measurements such as a bigger bust or curvier hips have complained that they get dress-coded more than their thinner counterparts.

On military bases, not only are the rules set in stone, they may be more strict than a civilian gym.

The video struck a chord with viewers who weighed in on Babcock's situation in the comment section.

Some military wives did not have the same experience as Babcock in the gym.

"Ours isn’t strict," one wrote. "I went to our gym all covered and saw so many not covered."

Others expressed concern as to what's to come for their move to the base.

"I just moved here don’t scare me," another added.
