[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yea I would complain to the hotel. What did you say to him when he “corrected” you?[/quote]

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. [/quote]

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. [/quote]

As a female who used to work in a gym, it was our job to ensure everybody was working out safely — hence, why he was watching you.  I’ve been on the flip-side of this argument — I assisted a gentleman who was trying to bench press too much weight (it was collapsing on him) and after I lifted the weight off of him, he got angry and kicked me.[/quote]
