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.....

You don't interrupt someone mid-set with a "suggestion[] for OPTIONS." You will go to any length to defend this creeper; kind of shows how you are full of BS too.

Yes you do. That actually is this guys job. You do not wait until someone wraps up doing something wrong. You step in. OP is off and so are the people defending.

It isn’t his job, you absolute idiot. There is no random weights expert, no certified personal trainer, who works at any hotel gym at any level. It quite literally doesn’t exist. If you ever traveled anywhere, you’d know this, and this is precisely why the women who actually use weights understood instantly how unusual this interaction is and was. This is someone in janitorial services, end of, who was watching OP and her 16 year old. Your ignorance is amusing, and you’re so far gone that you don’t understand that that is all you’re showing.

There is nothing wrong with OP. And there is everything wrong with you.

The PP said is about giving OPTIONS, not about safety. So no, you do not interrupt. Some of folks have no sense.

Right because lots of people think the little ladies should be okay with some uniformed hotel towel guy interrupting their workouts with useless suggestions.

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.

How are you able to make this assessment based on the comment that OP or PP is angry and insecure? The two are not related, at all. They're just not. Again, insecurity is showing.

How am I able to make the assessment that most people commenting don't lift heavy weights? Because they think it is ok to interrupt someone who is lifting with their heavy weights under control. If you actually lift anything reasonably heavy, you would understand that part of the issue,

Actually I DO lift heavy, 3 times a week. I've never experienced this, and I've been lifting for the better part of 25 years. OP (you) are extremely insecure. Just stop it already, you've complained enough.

Chezus. You've never been to my Lifetime gym.

Or alternatively if PP has not seen this in 25 years, she should know how totally weird and off it is.

He had zero right to give her OPTIONS. He interrupted her, gestured to her to take out her ear buds, and separately harassed her kid to get on a different machine. Those are all a-hole moves, the only benign explanation isn’t even really benign, that he’s a horny, lonely fool. Get real FFS. No woman wants to be approached that way, and she most definitely doesn’t want her kid approached, either.

OP never described being "corrected". He merely made a suggestion to both OP and her DD providing options to try, but did not "correct". Also the title of the thread is misleading - what she described is not at all inappropriate. I opened the thread thinking I was going to read something really alarming.

OP here. I disagree. I think it's inappropriate for an older man to be watching the women at a gym (even if he works there) and approaching them with "pointers" -- in my DD's case telling her to leave one machine and try a different one.

I say this as someone who has been in the weight room of my gym for years, surrounded by mostly guys, and never had this experience.

Also, it's just insulting to think that I, an adult woman, can't handle the barbell I am holding and need someone to come along and give me a tip. If I had been struggling, then it might make sense.

Whoa....you are very defensive OP. You need to chill out, you finding this entire interaction as gross and insulting says a lot about your insecurities.

NP

It's just rude to correct or coach someone else at the gym when they didn't ask for help.

Mansplaining, for sure. Some men think they know better than women what they should do and how they should do it. They feel a responsibility to teach you proper methods. Poor little silly girl, he's only trying to help. /s

Yup. I f’ing hate mansplainers.

I hate womoaners which is basically this whole thread and every thread in Relationships.
