The Former Shaper's "Gym" 

In Hipperholme, Halifax. Situated on the A58 road, opposite Hipperholme Grammar.

Infamous for the lack of equiptment, deficiency of money invested and the owner, DIRTY LIN.

If you ever previously went to this lame excuse for a gym, i feel sorry for you.

If you have ever encountered Dirty Lin, possibly the most horrible person you will encounter, i feel sorry for you.

The best piece of news from this sh*t hole, was the closement of it last November.

The building still stands to this day. And although dirty Lin is long gone, the memories will haunt those who have experienced.

Former fat kid syndrome

When someone who was previously a fat/unattractive child loses weight or "glows up" and overcompensates for their past insecurities by acting out. Usually they end up acting like the same people who bullied them growing up.
Friend 1: Emily lost weight and now acts like she's better than everyone.
