He may or may not have been biased in his call-outs, you can't know. It's better to go through life giving the benefit of the doubt to people than being mad all the time.

This is absolutely NOT how gyms operate.

DP: So gyms are NOT concerned about minimizing liability?

Yes, gyms want to minimize liability. Having an under-trained employee tell people to change their workout routines is much more likely to increase claims of liability.

Wait. How do you know this employee is "under-trained"? Now you're making some big assumptions so slant the discussion in your direction.

Because his comments were dumb. Most of the posts on this thread really show that many of your don't take the "exercise" part too seriously.

You sound angry and insecure. Your comment makes no sense.

Most of the comments on this thread show that people don't lift weights at the gym. This is a subforum dedicated to diet and exercise; it's questionable whether the posters giving advice actually do that.

+1000.

This forum is now largely flabarama idiots desperate for finding lower cost scripts for Ozempic and Wegovy. OP did nothing wrong in posting about this, and the odds that some random creep at a hotel gym had sufficient experience or training in anything, let alone proper form, to justify a voluntary approach and critique her and her - teen daughter - is insane. Par for the board now.

Doesn't really seem inappropriate to me

Wonder what percentage of the people who think this is fine are male, and what percentage of that group have lifted a weight in the past decade.

I’ve lifted weights for 30 years in everything from a basement grunge gym to military bases, country clubs, lifetime fitness, golds, and hotels not once have I seen an employee walk the floor and monitor form. This is weird and anyone who doesn’t understand either doesn’t lift or is a mainsplainer themselves.

You are so far away from the facts. It was a trainer that worked at a gym. Yes he has every right to say anything to anyone who is there.

Who said anything about this guy "walking the floor and monitoring"? Now you're making up stories. You don't need to walk the floor to see if someone is doing something incorrectly. Also had you read what OP said, she did not say he corrected her or her DD. There was no correcting going on, merely suggestions for OPTIONS.

Congrats on your many years of lifting weights in so many interesting and challenging environments.....

I'm too lazy to engage in a discussion, so I'll cut straight to the ad hominem. If you disagree with me, you must be fat and stupid.

What an impressive person your parents raised. Obviously the product of a top notch education.

Imagine being so bored and unhappy you troll diet forums online just to insult people. This thread brought out a few. Sad.

Oh bless your heart for real. You don’t stay in hotels. That wasn’t a trainer. There are no random certified trainers trying to refine Smith squats or plank form for guests who ply their trade by hanging out in hotel gyms. The guy who locks and unlocks the towels and refreshes the towels was watching OP and her daughter. This is a completely aberrant situation and those who thinks it’s normal are themselves out there.

Pouting is what got you into your mess in the first place.

I think you got it. A lot of these posts sound like men who don’t lift.

As a man I'm just going to say it's it's creepy.

It's 2023... Which means unless they are absolutely going to hurt themselves and I mean badly let them do their thing. Unless a woman makes direct eye contact with me and explicitly ask me for assistance or my opinion I assume they're good.

For example, I see a girl starting to squat with 135 on the bar but it's not clipped. My thought process is, I see a 45 plate on each side of the bar (balanced). I assume she knows what she's doing and this is probably a warm upset (i.e. no need to clip it).

My wife gets on me because she realizes I'm treating women differently because I'd ask another man if he would like a spot and wouldn't say a word to woman that was on the line (I was this was before marriage and have been gym rat since 14).

To which I say, "honey, I don't want no trouble."

No, he doesn't have a right to say "anything." He only has a right to make comments related to actual safety. Some of you folks have no bar.
