I feel you. I know exactly how you feel. I wanted to kill him just because he made me look stupid and I even doubted myself.
A carsalesman are less horrific than 24 hr fitness managers.
I was intmidating, i felt that like they had a gun to my head to get a personal trainer. "I have a 30 day pass" I didn't even join the gym yet. THe manager was making assumption that I eat Fried Chicken all the time just because I work in a fried chicken restaurant.
There was one point when one of the PT pass us and the manager stopped him and the manager ask him about the PT client who gain 15lbs of muscle in 3 months. He was trying to convince me. Hasan(manager) was like he thinks he knows about fitness to the PT. So they were chuckling.
One part I was naming the gym in my area. Then he was like 24hr fitness is the best, we are the biggest chain, what other gym doesn't offer that we do are results"
Me: OK thats because you force people to get a PT
One time the manager said "what are you a personal trainer or certify" after I told him I know about fitness. I know enough to not get a personal trainer.
Another part of the time was like are you even going to join the gym at all. I had a 30 day pass. So he was assuming that I was goin to just get a free ride. I said if i like the gym I would join.
He set me up like this want are you hoping to achieve? He shows like a 24hr fitness chart like lose weight (green), performance (blue), muscle(red). So i said muscle i didn't know that he was goin to set me up for a PT by this. He asked me a bunch of questions like that on fitness. He was starting to fill up his chart on my personal trainer schedule.
Me: WTF
I didn't even use the gym w/ my 30 day pass because i felt that the manager will scruntinze me if i come.
The price is ridiculours $99 as the cheapest to $500 package
We talk about like 90 minutes to get a personal trainer. At the end he was like
"I'm not goin to dig in your pocket, I just want whats best fore you"
Me: WTF "how could you say that after having our converstation" I didn't say that but thats how i felt.
I'm a senstative person and when I came home I had a bad feeling like I was a bad person just because I didn't get a personal trainer.
I left with the imperssion join the gym w/ a PT or don't join at all.
I should've filled out a faker personal Information on the chart he gave me before he gave me a tour. Dude has the audacity to call me and ask me hows the gym in my answering machine.
