Is my personal trainer flirting with me telling me “squat for me (my name)” during my set?

Not necessarily as that is a very common method employed in trading session that have a high-level of intensity. “C’mon Name push through it, breathe…etc” is more commonplace amongst gym rats. TGERE definitely was a better way to say that. There’s definitely some dominance and sexuality connotations implied.
YES, I too think it is unnecessary and less than professional approach. BUT YOU are there and can feel the larger Vibe…see his nonverbal communications as well.
WHAT’S your gut tell you. Professional or “chasing skirt trainer” ⁉️

Yeah I think he’s professional but I think he was trying to use his masculine charm by telling me squat for him because I was absolutely not struggling so there was no need to do that. He briefly cupped my butt to make sure I was engaging the muscle and touched the back of my leg but it was brief like a doctors touch but part of me thinks he wouldn’t have taken that approach if I was a guy. Or perhaps a very unattractive woman

That's just how one gets a complaint to licensure, club, and/or threat of lawsuit in today's world. Not even PT or nurses do that... Apparently women respond to it...
Truth is, "best muscle I have ever had is my Piriformus"... I'm loving it because it requires a therapeutic massage and stretch. And she's mean and never smiling Chinese lady who speaks choppy English and even so... I get a good "stretch" twice a week.

I would never do what your Trainer did BUT I am still "Boy"...
