Actually, it's completely different. No one looked at you and said "gee, he *looks* smart enough, let's decide that he doesn't have to take this class because of his appearance." Nope. They took some objective measure of your intellect and determined that you had the requisite knowledge such that you could skip the entry level course.

Just because someone is overweight does not mean they are uneducated about health and fitness.

Again - Just because someone is overweight does not mean they are uneducated about health and fitness. If this class is meant to teach people, then it should be targeted towards those who are uneducated. Yes, there is a chance that most 30+ BMI people need the education. But I guarantee you that not all of them do. Sometimes overweight people have an incredible wealth of knowledge about health and fitness, they simply do not have it in them to apply that knowledge.

The problem here isn't that they have the class. The problem is that the way you "test" out of it is subjective. It has nothing to do with knowledge. And shouldn't it? Shouldn't you only be able to test out of a class if you can demonstrate that you already have that level of knowledge?

What would be so wrong about saying that everyone has to take the class, and if they want to avoid taking it they can test out of it? Not by proving they are thin enough, but by proving they are knowledgeable enough?
