    Hiya!!

    It sounds understandable that you pulled a face at them if they were laughing and staring at you, it seems like a very human reaction to want to show your disapproval of that! You have as much right as anyone to be in the gym so people trying to make you feel uncomfortable there sounds super frustrating. Are they always there when you are?

    Oh man, that sucks. Its not nice that they're behaving that way to you. Perhaps there is a friend or someone you could ask to go with you? When I used to go to the gym I felt a bit uncomfortable and self-conscious but having a friend come with me helped soo much, and despite how I felt it turned into something I actually enjoyed doing and had a lot of fun spending time with my friend.
