  • Inappropriate, unprofessional, lacking any common sense and a shame to his "profession". 'Nuff said. Sorry you had to deal with this @$$hole.
  • ThickandPretty--Thank you! I'm sorry you had to experience what you did with those lame asses.

    StuffedBunny--I understand what your saying and I can see how that might be with some people...but I feel what he said was just a generalization. I work with clients and often a lot of the same issues pop up, just like in weight loss....but come on. He tried joking with me later and I was done with him by that point.

    Yeah, I just wrote him off as an idiot...and I dont need to work out with him or be buddies.

    thanks ladies
  • My trainer says some stuff to me once in awhile that pisses me off, but it just makes me want to "show her." The other day I told her I ran a mile without stopping...and she asked me "How do you know it was a mile?" So I replied that I had mapped it out in my car (which I did). Then I said "what makes you think I could not do it? And she said, "when you ran with me you were dying!" I did not think it was too nice of her to say that, but I know she didn't mean to sound the way she did. There have been other times, but I attribute her remarks to the fact that she has never been fat, she has no children, and she is young and does not know any better. I do think PT's have a "I am a fitness god" mentality, but, as long as they are kicking my rear into shape, that's all that matters. So far, I have had good results, so I can't complain! I would say if you didn't jive right away, opt for another trainer. The obligation of having an appt is crucial for me, cause I am lazy and would bail without it!
  • Wow.. what a jerk wad! that would have peeved me off! Just cuz im big doesnt mean men dont like me and that im doing this so they will.. fffs
  • Jaimie- I'm glad your getting results but what your trainer said was pissy. She is there to moviate. But it sounds like she is motivating you "show her". You keep running with it!

    Camocutie--I know! Not just "skinny" women have partners...
