A woman has bravely shown how she trains in the gym with her catheter bag and hasn’t let any negative feedback affect her day-to-day routine.
Ellen Evans, 26, is passionate about working out at the gym, and despite needing to use a catheter bag, she hasn’t stopped her passion.
Ellen has chosen to share her fitness journey publicly, catheter and all.
She said: “I know in put myself out there by posting publicly about it.
“So, I always knew I was going to get some not-very-nice comments.”
Residing in Pyrford, Surrey, UK, Ellen regularly posts content in the gym and responds to questions about the use of her catheter bag.
A catheter bag, which collects urine via a small tube, is an essential part of her daily routine.
Ellen’s determination to live authentically means she faces both support and criticism online.
Despite negative comments and people giving her weird looks, she hasn’t let it get to her and continues to do what she feels comfortable with.
One particular video that caught the attention of her viewers was when she noticed a few people giving her some weird looks.
Despite initially feeling self-conscious and covering it up, she quickly overcame it and returned to training as she had before.
Although there are the occasional weird looks and negative comments, Ellen says that for the most part, everyone is positive.
