So, I was at the gym a few weeks ago minding my own business when a trainer came up to me and said
Trainer: "you were looking at me wierd like you didn't know what you were doing"
Me:"Really?!? That's wierd because I wasn't. My contacts are bugging me, maybe that's what it was."
Trainer: "Hmm, well, do you have a trainer? Because I'd like to give you a free session.
Me thinking: I really don't want a free session for two reasons 1. waste of time 2.eventually will be a waste of money after he convinces me I need a personal trainer all the time.
Me: sure.
Trainer: Well what day would you like, I'm pretty much open all week?
Me: How about Friday?
Later after my workout...five minutes later to be exact.
Same trainer: "Hey, do you need a trainer?"
Me: "really?!? you JUST talked to me."
Trainer: "oh, that's right...don't forget Friday."
Friday rolls around and I don't really want to be doing this so I don't go seeking him out but I decide I'll be willing if he finds me. I walk in and he looks right past me and I go by him again and he still doesn't acknowledge me. So I went on with my own workout. He soon calls me and leaves me a message to tell me I missed my session. I walked up to him and said
Me: "Sorry I missed my session"
Trainer: "you were working out here this whole time?"
Me: "Yep."
Trainer: "Do you want to reschedule?"
Me thinking: Heck no! You're a wierdo!
Me: "I guess so, how about Tuesday."
Sooo, Tuesday I wake up sick and I cancel. He calls me Wednesday to see how I'm doing and if we can reschedule for Friday. So I go in this morning, still feeling a little sick and I wait around for him. A different trainer I've never met comes up and says
Stranger Trainer: "Hey," (while giving me a high five) "How are you? How did you eat, mm, ea,mem,...eat Andy again?"
Me:"How did I eat Andy?"
Stranger Trainer: "huh, um, yeah"
Old Trainer shows up and says
Old Trainer: "What was your name again?"
Me thinking: "HUH?!?! Who is this guy?"
Stranger Trainer: "Have you ever had a trainer before?"
Me: "No"
Stranger Trainer: "Why? Is it because you think we're ugly?"
Me thinking: What on earth is he talking about? These guys are soo wierd.
Me: "Yes"
Old Trainer: "I've seen you running in here and you come what like 5 days a week?"
Me: "yeah, I'm pretty consistent."
Old Trainer: "Well, I don't really know what to do soooo, if you just have any questions feel free to ask me."
Me: "so....we aren't going to do anything then?"
Old Trianer: "Well, I mean, if you want me to take you through a workout I can, it's just....you seem to know what you're doing."
Me thinking: You're wack dude! I would've got more accomplished if I was at home sleeping.

Hahaha! I was going to ask you how that went. I love Gold's but the trainers are annoying. I think I know which two guys you are talking about. They have gotten pushier lately. Probably because it is so freaking expensive to have a trainer and nobody can afford it anymore!
First of all -I love the Strangers in the night song by cake. I haven't heard it before. Love IT! And what the what??? about the weird trainer dudes?? I don't even get it. So you didn't even end up doing a training session at all??!! And he didn't even recognize you - what a dork. I think gym guys are creepy anyway.
I love it. Y'know, after all these years, I can still see it: all those thoughts all over your face. Next time just go to Curves.
That's why I don't go to the gym at all: the trainers are always hitting on me, and they never remember me. Actually, I read in a health magazine that most trainers have no idea what they're doing and can even cause serious injuries. Don't know whether Gold's screens theirs.
Oh wow. That is funny! This is the exact reason I sit on my couch eating bon bons all day so I don't have to get harrassed by these trainers... ha ha just kidding.
That is crazy. It makes you wonder how they get paid big bucks to be trainers when they are that stupid!!!
that's so weird and awkward! you are awesome, you fit girl!
That is so dumb. Some old dude lectured me the other day because I picked up a 45 weight the wrong way. Apparently I was going to drop it on my toes. I was very annoyed.
LOL! What a weird story. Sorry that happened to you! I have a couple of weird trainer stories myself...but yours is pretty funny!
Oh - that made me laugh! What a hoot. People are c r a z y! What the heck is wrong with those guys?
Remember that episode of The Office when Michael and Andy bring two Asian looking waitresses back from Benihana and Michael had to put a mark on his date so he wouldn't forget which one she was, because, you know all . . . waitresses . . look the same? Maybe that was the problem.

Okay...seriously...I can't believe that they are that crazy. What were they thinking???? Pretty strange! Take Care
You are so freakin' funny I laughed my head off. I love reading your blog. You really crack me up, I miss that. I'll email you later.
