What would YOU do???




I went in to the gym today, walked up to the rack to do deads, did 3 light sets of warm-ups and THEN some neanderthal-ette trainer proceeded to have her client do box step ups -with 5 lb weights right in my ass' way... no, she did NOT move, and the trainer actually had her feet between mine while I was deadlifing...... and since I have injured myself [lower back] doing deads before, I decided to NOT let her piss me off [the gym was empty, there was NO reason for her to park right on my ass]

I feel like complaining, and this is what I'd say
"PLEASE have the trainers have more respect for other member who are working out. I went to the gym today and the trainer proceeded to park herself on my tail while I'm deadlifting 190 lbs

thanks for letting me vent....

the gym was nearly empty today there was lots of room for the trainer to take her client but only one rack for me to use

i wanna complain wanna complain to the manager but should i...

if its exactly how you say it is, then yea...why not? better yet, you should have said something to them, or when it happens again say something to the trainer. Then if he doesnt move his client, you'll have a better reason to complain.

Why didn't you say something??

one thing i have noticed.

if the gym has its own trainers...and it costs more to have a trainer with you.....if you dont have a trainer, you will be treated like shit

 

[jerkbox]

WTF!....you shoulda drop kicked both of them in the teeth....

or at least something to the effect of "excuse me, I'm fucking working here".....

I used to go ape shit when people would piss me off like that at the gym. I am very considerate and respectful of everyone both in the gym and outside of the gym. I think that is the reason I lose my temper when people are so blatantly rude and disrespectful. Unfortuneately for me two things can happen...

1) I can ask them nicely to move and they agree

2) I can ask them nicely to move and they give me attitude at which time I cannot control my temper and I end up saying something that will get me into trouble.

Just that fact that I/we should have to ask such a thing is ludricous. Either people are clueless are just plain assholes.

Anyway, for the past two years I've been building a home gym in my basement and have the best workouts ever. I know this isn't an option for everyone but I couldn't take the gym scene any longer.

IMHO...just change your tune and present your case. Istead of thinking of it as complaining, which will naturally shed a negative light, think of it as addressing a safety concern. Present your case from the standpoint of safety for all involved, and get your point across while appearing to serve the masses. Anyone that can get pissed at that isn't worth a second thought.
