(KCEN) -- It's a new, exclusive gym in Dallas that is closing its doors to hard bodies.
Downsize Fitness is only accepting the obese and those who need to drop 50 pounds or more.
Gym owners say other fitness clubs often scare away the people who need the most help.
That's why they designed this center for the big.
There are no mirrors on the walls and the windows are frosted to keep onlookers away.
Gym member Latrice Irwin said, "When you're on my side of the scale, it's not inspirational to look at other people in half-uniforms, showing off their bodies, showing off their abs. And I'm sure you don't want to see me in a half uniform. Showing off what abs you can find."
The company opened its first locations in Las Vegas and Chicago last year.
Their Dallas location opened in September.
And in case you're wondering, members who do lose weight are welcome to stay to inspire new recruits.
