Should I confront these people about this?

[Anonymous]

I was working out in the gym when my trainer laughed and said tie your hair from tomorrow onwards half the time you just keep settling your hair, an Aunty was standing there, she heard this and said that I she doesn't understand how some people can workout with open hair and both of them, my trainer and that woman started laughing.. I felt really embarrassed.. I walked away from there. Should I have said something?

Oh girl, don't even stress about those rude people! They were totally out of line making fun of you like that.

If it was me, I probably wouldn't confront them directly since it might just make things more awkward. But you definitely shouldn't feel embarrassed either - you got every right to workout however is comfortable for you!

Next time your trainer gives you a hard time about your hair, politely shut it down. "I'll style it however I like thanks. Let's just focus on my workout." And ignore that nosy aunty minding other people's business.

Keep your head up! You seem like a confident girl, don't let their rude comments get to you. Their issue, not yours. And if it happens again, maybe tell the gym you don't feel totally respected by that trainer. You pay good money to feel good at your workout!

Don't let the haters bring you down sis. Shake it off and keep doing you!

Depends, how badly do you want to keep working with that trainer if they shamed you for not wearing your hair up? You can tell them, and maybe keep the trainer but I don't know how well they’ll respond to knowing you felt ashamed when he laughed at you. Personal trainers are notoriously egotistical and a bit arrogant, especially male ones.
