Is it okay for your personal trainer to touch your back?

[Anonymous]

If your personal trainer is standing side by side with you and you ask him a question. And he leans in to hear what you're saying and puts his hand on your back, is that okay?

This sounds fairly normal. If it bothers you, just let him know that you aren't comfortable with it.
I don't like people to do this to me, I know it's a harmless gesture but I just don't like to be touched.

I feel like personal trainers are really used to touching people. Correcting postures and whatnot. I don't think he even thought about it.

Sounds pretty normal to me. It's possible he's just a touchy guy (in a non perverted way). Or maybe he's attracted to you. Or both. Whichever it is, a touch on the back is pretty harmless.

If it was a light touch then I think it's fairly normal and nothing serious. If you feel uncomfortable with him touching you then tell him to please not touch you. He must obey.

It's a friendly gesture.
