Mother banned from a gym for helping son work out (1 Viewer)

Eh ...the rules not to help your son on a mom-to-son-non-paid-basis rule?

I mean come on. Common sense. The place over-reacted, just say they have a rule in place for good reason, it doesn't apply in this instance. Sorry, we messed up.

I joined Planet Fitness, and took my daughter several times in the first few weeks. We were working out on machines, not free weights, and daughter asked me a few questions and tried to help her. I was informed, "we have trainers for that."

Went in the next day to cancel my membership. We now belong to a fitness center that is associated with my Physical Therapist's office. Costs more, but very family friendly.

That's ridiculous. I could see it if she was an employee and she trained her son without a waiver but if they are both paying members? Weird.

Exactly. It's funny how up their own asses some places are. I get that they are in business to make money, but when actions like this fly in the face of common sense, it's just laughable.

Especially if it results in them losing customers

LA Fitness is #### anyway. They did them a favor.

Yea...they recently took this area (Tampa) over, which is also the area of this story...after buying Lifestyles.

One of the worst run businesses I've ever seen. Complete train wreck. People are bailing on them daily for places like Orange Theory, which is 30% more expensive.

 
IMO, it would be ridiculous if she wasn't a trainer, but she's basically one of their competitors providing services that they offer for free. The gym handled it poorly, but I wouldn't allow it.

Well, for her, I probably would. Not a surprise that it was a female trainer that ratted her out.

 
So you're trying to tell me this business has some loose guidelines about what's allowed and what's not, this random worker came around and interpreted that this lady skirted around these "rules" and subsequently she was banned without any type of warning?

You don't say.

 
she probably rejected some employees advances towards her and he had her membership revoked

What was with that voiceover? Some millenial ##### doing a take-your-son to work day at the TV station?

When I saw the thread title, I thought for sure it would be Planet Fitness. That place sucks.

 
Do you really want to be the kid known for learning how to lift weights from your mom? They were just trying to save him from embarrassment.
