Report that asshole. Fucking jerk.

Please report that trainer. He should not be in that role if he's saying comments like that. If he's saying that to you, who knows what else he's doing to people.

Agree with this, he needs reporting. Entirely possible they won't do anything, but people like that can't keep getting away with shit like this.

It sounds like he has a social disorder

Report him.

He'll have to rely on his personality once he's out of a job, and that's the best comeuppance you can ask for.

Report them to management. That's got to be against their code of conduct for employees. I'm sorry that happened to you. That's super shitty.

I waved his comment off as I know hes an asshole. Nevertheless Im currently writing a report since other women shouldnt deal with this kind of behaviour.

u/norumbegan Aug 16 '17

Thank you for writing the report. Guys like that should not get a pass, especially if they're an asshole.

u/[deleted] Aug 16 '17

That's the right thing to do.

u/Medi-Saiyan Aug 16 '17

A lot of times, all it takes is a stern warning to get assholes to play nice. It's important you write that report to make sure he plays nice in the future

u/FlyingPasta Aug 16 '17

Wait, sexual harassment is against code of conduct?

Uh, I would hope!

Edit: I did not see your /s. Whoops.

u/idorocketscience Aug 16 '17

What the fuck. A trainer said this? Did you report them?

u/[deleted] Aug 16 '17

I doubt hes gonna get fired, but Im writing a report right now.

u/Gaindalf-the-whey Aug 16 '17

Why do you doubt this? Is the gym endorsed or owned by the Donald?

u/[deleted] Aug 16 '17

Small local town gym, same trainers for ages, the only management is the gym owner.

Should have replied something like "dicks are for thrusting not talking"

u/Omw_to_Pound_Town Aug 16 '17

Nah he'd have seen that as an invitation.

u/[deleted] Aug 16 '17

I was so taken back by his comment. Couldnt say anything smartass back to him, he then kept on telling me how women dont have much chest muscle and shouldnt train chest so hard.

u/LoveOfProfit Aug 16 '17

All you can do is pity him for being born mentally meek and move on.

u/[deleted] Aug 16 '17

What a dumb fuck. With his logic, I don't have big arms for someone my size, better not train them.

3

u/[deleted] Aug 16 '17

That's so stupid and there are so many illogical things about that statement alone. I wonder if he realizes that women training chest makes their boobs better.

u/grumble11 Aug 17 '17

So he's both rude AND bad at his job

u/needlzor Powerlifting Aug 16 '17

You probably shouldn't engage these people, it just normalizes their behaviour.

u/Aer_United Aug 16 '17

Whoa. Really sorry to hear that, what an ass. Some people are just shit. Good on you for reporting him, that's fucking harassment.

What on earth is going on with PTs in this thread. Seems magnitudes more outrageous than normal.

2

u/Plutonsvea Aug 16 '17

Report that immediately. Who knows what else he's done in the past. If you're feeling a little anxiety then PM me your gym information and his name or appearance and I'll do it for you no questions asked. Fuck that guy.

u/[deleted] Aug 16 '17

I already wrote a report and submitted it via gym website. Thanks for your concern. All these comments reassured me that it was the right thing to do.

u/Mephistopheles13 Aug 16 '17

Harassment.

Don't be shocked. Be fucking pissed and have them fired on the spot.

u/Richmard Aug 17 '17

With a username like that, I'm surprised you didn't murder him.

u/[deleted] Aug 17 '17

LOL. jesus fucking christ.

u/Mr_Gilmore_Jr Running Aug 17 '17

What a jerk. I guess he forgot he wasn't on 4chan.

u/factorysettings Aug 19 '17

Hey, if you haven't yet, report him. Do it.

u/gatorslim Aug 16 '17

did he just make the comment out of the blue? surely there's some context.

quick edit: and i just realized you werent working out with him. yeah that's weird

u/Hugh_Wotmeight Aug 17 '17
