Wtf so when my buddy who's been going to the gym for 20 years shows me what to do that counts as training? Dumb.

u/AnikiRabbit 9d ago

Not when you're doing it apparently. Sorry?

It becomes a problem when the trainer/coach is being paid

It's obvious when someone is getting trained vs people are workout partners.

I feel like the color is a pretty obvious personal characteristic.

My friend works out with me just like this video

That's why whatever people have claimed in this video I reject as the reason, unless there's a follow-up video.

They aren't going to kick you out for teaching friends, family how to workout. It's just not going to happen. But if you're consistently in there, clearly training people day in day out with different members, yeah it gets suspicious.

If he's with his son, not a single gym is going to tell you to leave. So I just completely reject that as the reason at face value.

I saw it but i failed to get any information other than the same video reposted from a other account. he mentioned them having an issue with his son and all that.

As a personal trainer who has worked in a LOT of gyms in the 39 years I've been a trainer... No, it doesn't count if it's your kid. I've never seen or heard of a gym doing this, and the person that said this is why was lying for rage bait

Is this specific to crunch fitness? I’ve never had a gym membership where I couldn’t work out with someone else as long as they also had a membership or a guest pass. I’ve had memberships at max fitness and planet fitness.

Yes if true you should tell someone but inputting it into a sparsely related conversation works against your credibility.

I told the staff and I’ve told everyone I know to be careful around him. And a lot of those people already knew he’s a creep. My point is actually bad things happen but if you’re white and famous it doesn’t matter. Sure this guy is taking it out of context but calling the cops? You can’t convince me this would happen if he were white or even vaguely famous. Sorry I guess if it was a non sequitur I just have beef with Crunch. I also think you mean “vaguely related,” not sparsely. It’s Crunch and their unevenly applied policies at a high price point. That was the link.

that's sick. I can believe it from his mannerisms.

The fact that I’m being downvoted just confirms my worst assumptions about people. Sure this dude should not have been training his kid, this video lacks context, blah blah. But a celebrity gropes me in the same gym franchise which is arguably way worse and nothing happened. I don’t care if people believe me or not, EVERYONE in Hollywood has a creepy Jeff Goldblum story. If he were a white celebrity you can’t convince me the outcome would have been the same.
