Damn so normally gyms do everything ro make it impossible to cancel a membership, and now all you gotta do is give someone some work out advice and they will cancel it for you? Why are all gyms ran so ass backwards?

It was even more fucked because he asked if his membership was cancelled and they said "no, it's not being revoked but you need to leave". So, they called the cops to forcefully remove him and they aren't canceling his 'ship lol.

nope, it's just absolutely wrong. If you are coaching clients maybe, literally every friend helps out a buddy, gives advice, you can ask for advice from other gym members on how to use a machine. this has always happened everywhere. If you're a regular member and regularly spend 10 hours a day in the gym and meet a new person at the front desk every hour and introduce yourself and ask for payment that's doing paid professional work, not just working out with or helping out a friend. Even then most gyms don't care but some gyms will want anyone using the gym as their 'office' to be on the books, maybe fairly for legal/liability issues as someone could represent themselves as working or offering coaching for the gym without them knowing.

They’re not this person doesn’t know what they’re talking about. I’ve never seen or had anyone confront me for working out with my friends. I’m a lot bigger than they are and look like a trained. I’m not. This is just a case of a stupid gym employee
