So Ive been watching this from the sidelines, I don't often say much there's a really simple answer to all of this! REALLY FUCKING SIMPLE!!! Richie if you're reading this just be respectful about your clients (past, present and future), don't talk about them like they are shit on your shoe, especially when you're having whatsapp conversations with your work colleagues. Don't use the word cuntTM, have a laugh about someone's Chinese name or make jokes about being black and putting it in a racial context (when actually in the collieries it was about being black as soot) and all the other things youve all said. Only toxic work environments have that sort of behaviour going on, context or no context. Also, the evidence suggests there's a lot of bullying happening within your walls, too many affiliates leave under a very dark cloud, no one says too much, but the memes they post and the things they say cant say about speak volumes. Plus, if RH is such a great place to be why is there a spy in your ranks? The buck stops with you Richie, get your own house in order, sort your own toxic shit out. Same goes for Baker and Sorcha - you 3 seem like the ring leaders of toxicity - it is not banter when its on a work whatsapp and someone is offended enough to post your shit online and everyone else agrees its just misogynistic/racist/rude/abusive. Change the fucking narrative Richie and start treating your paying clients with the respect they deserve and your staff too. Because honestly it's YOUR behaviour which is ruining your business no fucker else's.

December in Team RH HQ
- we got so much traction from that sob story I told about My Rach. Guaranteed to get loads of January signups
- the rebrand got loads of likes. Guaranteed to get loads of January signups
- they all fell for that Sandra bullshit. Guaranteed to get loads of January signups. We can all relax because I'm fucking brilliant
15th of December, his Colombian marching powder habit has peaked, he's not slept in 3 days
"All holidays are cancelled, we need to launch a brand new barbell product on boxing day, and a new version of the app. No one's allowed to sleep until it happens"
Boxing day, all his presents from his sycophantic staff are unopened. He's sacked his HR Manager because she didn't sack the member of staff who complained about him trying to shag them at the Xmas party while he was off his face on beak. He's wondering why the Chinese haven't shipped the cheap as fuck £5 barbells that he's going to sell for £50 despite spending all Xmas promising people they'll be in stock, promises everyone they'll be in stock by the 28th. Demands Rachel goes Live to calm everyone down then remembers that she dumped him 10 months ago
Decides to fat shame some lass that he took a photo of at the gym on Xmas Eve in the hope that someone likes his post and makes his miserable existence feel worthwhile
Cries into a bowl of Weetabix and cottage cheese
Sends all the female staff a "happy Xmas" DM on WhatsApp in the hope that one of them replies, spends the rest of the day chatting them up in the hope that they come round to his
They don't, he tries to have a wank but can't get it up because of all the roids and coke
Goes live on FB and slags off weight watchers. Demands all his staff come in at 8am coz he's got a world class idea (spoiler, it's not world class). Ruins everyone's Christmas, apart from Richie Barker, because he's a cunt too

Delighted to see Cathy won against them with the GDPR body in UK. Basically them recording their meeting and sharing it totally breached all GDPR rules so they found in favour of Cathy's complaint. It too her almost 2 years but fair play to her for sticking with it !! 
I am actually so glad I found this group. I’m an A&E nurse and used to work nights. I reached out to one of “coaches” after I signed up and said I was really struggling mentally with exhaustion and mentally with my diet. Mix of covid had just hit us, queues, no staff. It wasn’t an excuse but I felt drained. I asked for some help on meals as I said some days I wasn’t getting a break and felt like I just needed a sugar lift. If they had any better ideas for helping with me working nights. And on my days off I was zonked and drained.
The reply I got was something along the lines of “we are all dealing with hardship in life. Some just let it get to us more then others. Ask yourself if you really want to lose weight or just continue to make excuses”.
The response actually made me question, if I was actually lazy. It took me a while to realise jugging a 1year old, doing a masters degree and working as a full time nurse. I’d actually reached burnout.
I wasn’t making excuses, I couldn’t switch off from work and when I could I’d cry because reality hit me. If these shit coaches have ever given you advise, honestly don’t take what they say seriously. Waste of space.

I’ve tried writing my post a few t8mes but it’s too difficult and I keep deleting and rewriting, too many thoughts swirling. I’ll try to keep it brief. But it’s very raw at the moment.
I joined 2017, was one of the ones who “smashed it”etc, felt on top of the world.
Then life happened and no longer had full time to devote to fitness and long story short I regained all my weight plus quite a bit more.
and I’ve spentyears beating myself up for it. I’ve come across this today debating whether to start using RH again (I never cancelled my subs, just kept it muted).
in the middle of all thisa was diagnosed autistic, adhd and bed (whic( hadevolved from a lifetimeof disordered eating I noe know was autism related).
I have felt so guilty, I’ve hated myself, I can’t look in a mirror. All I can hear is RH voice in my head, and then my own voice In my head using his words and phrases.
even writing this out I’m telling myself “no one gives ashite, stop being a moany arsehole”
I emailedmy gp last weekbegging forhelp, she arranged for me to go in for full bloods today and an appt Monday to see her. I’ve sobbedmy heart out to the nurse doing my bloods.
I had cbt and she told me I was too complex a case for them to help and discharged me. Which cemented in my mind I’m a lost cause and worthless.
anyway over past few days been reading over this thread and seeing similar people in same situation (started crying when I saw another lady wit( late diagnosed ASD/ADHD) and it’s shifted something in me,
I am worthy. I’ve been made to feel worthless by being expected to life up to unrealistic expectations, unrealistic for a nuerotypical person, but it’s ok for me to recognise ASD and ADHD cause 3xtrahurdles and not to feel guilty.
I have double hip displasia(sp?) (pregnancy/childbirth injury) acl tear in knee (childhood injury).
I’m recognis8ng internalised ableism, that I’ve been let down by someone (RH) I trusted (I got personal video replies, I honestly thought he cared). I’ve been deceived and betrayed, I know everyone has but it’s raw and I’m feeling it personally (bloody ASD and inflated emotions lol)
sorry it’s all scrambled,typing direct from my brain. My thoughts are swirling and I can’t organise them or put theminto words.
sorry this doesn’t make sense it’s a jumbledmess, I just neeeded to get it out
Im heading off to bed soon and tomorrow going to give my head a wobble and see where I can start living my life again and trying to stop the guilt and negative thoughts and try liking myself again.
Apologies for my outburst, I don’t have ‘real life’ friends or people I can vent to so you all got it ha ha

Well holy crap, I wrote it and can barely make sense of it. I’ve stopped crying now, my meltdown is fading. I have gone through and left the group and unfollowed everything RH related. And feel a huge weight lifted off.
Im heading off to bed soon and tomorrow going to give my head a wobble and see where I can start living my life again and trying to stop the guilt and negative thoughts and try liking myself again.

Apologies in advance for a long and legal post!
Hi everyone. I am usually a lurker, but these last few days of posts have just pushed me over the edge: I’m a woman with a significant disability (a mongo cunt to use the Team RH parlance).
I have been thinking about ways to stop these bullies ruining the lives of their customers *and* employees. If someone has mentioned this before then I’m sorry, but this is the only way I’ve come up with that hasn’t been mentioned before. The only problem is that it would require a *lot* of courage from at least one of TRH’s employees. I imagine quite a lot of them read here, so that’s why I thought I’d post.
The 2010 Equality Act sets out 9 “protected characteristics:” age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage & civil partnership, pregnancy, race, religious & philosophical beliefs, sex and sexual orientation (I’ve put the PCs that I know to be relevant for our purposes in bold, though I listed all of them as you may have evidence of discrimination that has not been posted to the group).
S.26(1) of the Equality Act states that if a work colleague “engages in unwanted conduct related to a relevant protected characteristic” and this conduct has the effect of creating an “intimidating, hostile, degrading and humiliating environment” this amounts to harassment and the employer can be taken to court.
There is no way on earth that those WhatsApp messages wouldn’t mean the criteria as they mock disabled people, BME people and – of course – women.
It’s also important to remember that under the Equality Act you don’t have to actually have the PC yourself to take the employer to court: for example if a complaint was made against TRH by a white, non-disabled man it would be just as valid as if it were made by a BME, disabled woman.
Also, s.27 prohibits employers from “victimising” employees who make complaints to the court, meaning that the employee could be further prosecuted if he were to try to punish the claimant or make him or her try to retract their claim.
I know that taking a claim of harassment against TRH would be a very difficult and frightening thing to do, but if proof of their awful behaviour got into a court of law and a judge was to condemn it in a legal judgment that cannot be altered or deleted, not to mention the press interest, I truly think that that would be a blow that those awful bullies would not be able to bounce back from.
If nothing else, it might deter more people from joining up if you could easily refer them to a legal judgment condemning their practices. Or maybe I’m being too hopeful? Lots of solicitors offer a free consultation if you want to ask someone legally qualified any questions. I honestly can't imagine how stressful it is to work with that lot!
Anyway, sorry about the long post and back to lurking for me.

So I found this thread and have read up todate. But wasn't sure if I should post or not. I was an original member when there was only a few thousand in the group. When there was calorie clubs, Affiliates didn't exist, you paid about £3.50 a month via PayPal and RH said he didn't care about merch and just cared about the people etc. and that he wouldn't put his prices up like other people out there.
When I was there, nobody was allowed to post any Instagram accounts or anything. Apart from this one guy called "Liam". who gave his story and RH latched onto it. from what I've read he moved up the ranks with him and became an affiliate. Anyhow I commented why this guy was allowed to post his Instagram but nobody else was allowed when everyone had their own stories. In which I got an inbox from RH saying we had a problem and he accused me of bullying this guy. And he was really nasty to me in the inbox. All because I asked why he was allowed to post an Instagram link but nobody else was.
I then got another message saying I was then Copying of this liam person because I posted a picture of my meals on Instagram with the calories in a collage. The same as him. Which he didn't invent because pictogram was around well before and loads of people outside the group posted collages.
I knew then that RH automatically took a dislike to me.
My calories were really quite high and I hadn't really lost weight intact the calories he was giving me I felt were really high and they were making me put on weight. Anyhow I was out for Sunday dinner with my mam one day and I posted a comment about tracking roast beef in a post. And he just went off it with me.
He posted a video saying I had 10 minutes to post my weight weight in the group and my MFP tracking or I would be kicked out. He wanted me to post my own personal data in front or everyone. (There was no GDPR back then). So I posted it. and he had seen that my weight wasn't go anywhere even though I hadn't really done anything like this before and was trying (if I wasn't I wouldn't of asked the question).
He then did another reply saying I was a time waster and said to Peter (God rest his soul) to cancel my Direct debit and I could be in the group for fee as I was a time waster but wouldn't receive any help or anything. 5 minutes later he then changed his mind and said "No infact you're not staying in the group" and kicked me out. He humiliated me via video posts in front of everyone.
I then got another inbox giving a load of waffle. and his final words were come back when you've lost X amount of weight and I will let you back in. However I was blocked from him.
I had a chat with Peter after and he said he was just given the orders to kick me out. and that he didn't really want to.
The guy is not a nice man at all.

So I am one of the ex affiliates. The time I spent being affiliated with TeamRH has left me with mental health scars, that bad that I feel like i have PTSD when I see their posts.
The way we were treated as affiliates was so shocking. And the fact that some of them are still there, working for him makes me honestly sick.
Richie told me me I was too ugly to go live. And that I needed to wear make up and "nicer" clothes.
I didn't realise that they were now charging people for missing payments, but it does not surprise me in the slightest. That man is only interested in the money.
I was a member from very early on, and I was completely sucked in to their BS.
I was "lucky" to get out without him threatening me with legal actions, unlike a lot of the other affs, but the lasting affect he has had on my mental health. Not so lucky.
