Pervy personal trainers?

[wilco999]

So I'm a frequent gym-goer and having lived in various cities worldwide and experienced countless gyms the recurring theme amongst them all is the creepy male personal trainers. Almost without fail, if a remotely attractive girl is in the heavy weights section of a gym she will always be pestered by at least one PT during a workout.

Perhaps they see women as somehow naïve and are offering helpful advice but I just end up feeling genuinely sorry for the women and sometimes wonder if that contributes to many weights sections in gyms being dominated by men? Do any women even like being approached during a workout? Personally I'm usually gunning it and oblivious to anything going on around me so couldn't think of anything worse but maybe I'm in a minority...

i never had a trainer, no one has ever pestered about getting a trainer either. i just do my own research online. but the trainers i see at the previous gym and current gym that i go to seems pretty useless. most of them just gives a list of things for clients to do while they just stand around to watch them do it. they will never teach their clients proper form and if they do it's very vague like "oh just push it down", but then i see the client having a hard time because of poor form, energy transfers, and etc. it makes me want to say something so badly everytime i see it happen cause it's just so sad, just a simple form correction will allow the person to actually be able to do the exercise with ease but afraid of getting into a verbal argument with the trainer and possibly getting blacklisted/banned from the gym i always end up not saying anything.

I’ve stopped going to the gym because of this. I literally turned a room in my house into a gym so I can shred at home and avoid this. It’s threatening and awful. The fact that a guy even notices it going on honestly makes me feel a little safer in this world though, so thank you.

If it’s subtle and not too in your face a little attention can be quite a confidence boost, but if there’re too friendly or in your face it can be annoying and creepy.

Yeah, its just that most guys are creepy and the rest of the world knows that already. Its just girls who have to deal with it more and we can actually notice it easier in the gym.

Could be the women like attention from these men. Something like men going into Hooters

No but I'm not having a super awesome body. I know one girl who does buy it's every guy. You just need to look atvthe floor. I get talked to sometimes but nothing creepy.
