If shes been texting, pick up the phone so she can hear ur tone of voice. Tell her u didnt want to text cuz u didnt want to insult/hurt her but its just not something you feel comfortable with (if u need to insert an excuse u can) she will feel less bad than a text and there wont be any back n forth

I can't keep brushing her off. |
"Hi Rivky, sorry for not getting back to you sooner re the gym equipment. I spoke with my dh about it and he's really not comfortable allowing anyone - including his siblings and mine - to use our gym equipment since we invested a lot of money into it. If I let you use it, it wouldn't be fair to our family members who we turned down...hope you understand!" (optional): "what do you think of power walking with me on Tuesdays though? I could really use a walking buddy".

I agree with the post above, but your time is precious. You don't have to offer to be her walking buddy if you have a household to maintain.

Planet Fitness has separate hours?
you can say no in a nice way without offering other options like swim - she asked a question you can answer it you don't have to give her a bunch of different ideas or fix it

To me it sounds like she'd rather not weigh 400lbs and is trying to get into normal shape. If the real issue is the equipment, why don't you research the weight limit instead of telling her no? You can tell her to be careful with the equipment and limit it to a reasonable schedule. It would be a really big chessed. Weight limits are listed on product details generally. For example this treadmill has a weight limit of 300lbs but this one can handle 400lb person. Check your user manual if you want to be 100% sure.

Fat people know they're fat. You don't have to act like it's new information.

I really don't think her weight is relevant here. Would you let a 130 pound friend work out on your treadmill every day? Who wants to commit to anyone being in their house on a daily basis?
