Do personal trainers stay in touch with their clients after sessions are completely over?

[Anonymous]

And if they have your phone number? Or do they not care and ignore and whatnot?

My trainer is a he. we flirted, he wanted to hang out but I didn't let that happen. He used to come up to me and talk and touch my arm. We used to text a lot and that's when he asked me out but got rejected. Not because I didn't want to, but because I didn't take him serious. He gave the cold shoulder, then went back to normal, as in smiling from distance. Time went by, and he stopped coming up to me and smiling. Now, the only thing he does is stare.

We grew apart but still crack hi's and how are you's.


He tried to get with me but I didn't pay attention to him since he's a trainer.

a personal trainer that stays in touch with a client after sessions is actually unethical to some degree. it depends though if the client is single or married. if single maya not be as unethical but if married definitely is unethical. actually your question doesn't give enough info to make a qualified answer except in generalities. having your phone number if single as said may not be that bad but if married not a good deal at all unless you want your marriage to fail totally.

yes my answers are in generalities but that's the only way I can or anyone ese for that matter.

hope some of this helped.

What information would you like to be informed with?

[PHILR]

is he coming onto you during any of these phone calls are you single or married has he tried anything that might be coonstrued as in appropriate with you in any way. as brando above says it may be normal to just check up on you to make sure your following up on your training but anything more than that is something else. its not clear weither he's emailing or txting you or the reverse . by what annomonous girl wrote below and your answer still doesn't make it clear as to what's going on

It depends upon the relationship the client and trainer has. Some people develop strong bonds with their trainers and either date them outside of work, or, they become friends. For some trainers, it is strictly a business arrangement and having your cell phone makes it easier to stay in touch to schedule future sessions or let clients know if they've transferred to a new gym. I used to manage a gym and can tell you that each client/trainer relationship is different. Some gyms also have a no flirting/dating clients rule, but it is often ignored.

Usually not. They may give you their email/number if you have any questions and need help or to talk about training related things but that's it. Its not very professional to remain in contact with a client other than gym related stuff.

My trainer texts me but it's always relevant to our sessions or my progress

HERE 'S THE DEAL YOU HAVEN'T SAID IF YOUR SINGLE OR MARRIED . WHY DIDN'T YOU TAKE HIM SERIOUSLY IT SEEMS AS THOUGH BY WHAT YOU SAY YOUY MIGHT HAVE . WHAT OR WHY NOT TAKING HIM SERIOUS IF YOU WERE MARRIED AND HE WAS HITTING ON YOU I MIGHT SEE WHY. IF YOUR SINGLE AND HE'S HIT ON YOU THEN HE DOES OR MAY HAVE SOME FEELINGS FOR YOU. THE COLD SHOULDER AT FIRST MAY HAVE BEEN HIS INIAL REACTION TO THE REJECTION MOST MEN ?(UNLESS THEIR CONFIDENT THEY DON'T CARE )WHO ARE SENATIVE (NICE GUY TYPE) TAKE REJECTION PRETTY HARD. WHICH AT FIRST IT SEEMS HE DID. THEN YOU SAY HE WENT BACK TO NORMAL . BUT NOW YOU SAY HE JUST LOOKS AT YOU. MAYBE HE'S HOPING YOU'LL CHANGE YOUR MIND .BUT BY WHAT YOU SAY HE'S ACTING OVER ALL YOU'VE WOUNDED HIM PRETTY DEEPLY . HE PROBABLY THINKS NOW YOU'LL NEVER WARM UP TO HIM AGAIN. JUST MY OPINION I COULD BE WRONG BUT FOR SOMEREASON I DON'T THINK I AM

[Asker]

OK I'M SINGLE!

[PHILR]

OK ,YOUR SINGLE , SO WHAT ABOUT WHAT I LAST MENTIONED IS IT A POSSIBILTY . HE COULD JUSTG BE A GOOD MAN THATS NOT VERY GOOD WITH WOMEN ?(AND THERES A LOT OF THEM BELEIVE ME) WOULD YOU AT THIS TIME GIVE THIS GUY A SHOT . ITS MY OPINION BECAUSE OF YOUR LAST REJECTION HE MAY NOT APPROACH YOU AGAIN UNLESS IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH YOUR SESSIONS . BY YOUR DISCRIPTIONS HIS BODY LANGUAGE AND HIS ACTIONS ARE SAYING THIS THAT HE BELIEVES HE'S BLOWN HIS ONLY SHOT WITH YOU.

[Brando]

My trainer gave me his email address so I could ask him questions about workouts or dieting, so for me he did (kind of). Not sure if that's common though.

[WeaponZero]

My trainer texts me regularly but only for training-related stuff.

Male trainers are slutty. Don't be texting him...

[Asker]

lol why are they sutty and how come I shouldn't be texting?

[Opinion Owner]

a) he's paid to interact with you ... it's kinda weak sauce to bug him via text all the time

b) male trainers are fit and socially skilled, hence their choice of employment. chicks are all over them all the time. I mean, you're going to randomly start texting him, right? you're not the first girl to get this idea.

c) I lived with a male trainer and have another guy friend who is one... I'm not pulling this out of thin air.

[PHILR]

its one thing if he's iniating the texts and another if you are... again as others have stated if it revolves around the gym sessions or him/you sending saucy emails(flirting with each other).

being this post is over one year old how about an update on your situation.
