Your girlfriend/boyfriend got you personal training sessions for Valentines day?

Why or Why not?

(MFP if probably a biased place to ask!)

    no, especially if your SO specifically asks for them/mentions wanting them.

    no not offended. because its for my health, which means he cares about me being healthy. whats bad about that.

    Nope, although I don't pay my current trainer so it would just kind of make me scratch my head. I asked for a new bike seat and a tri suit for V-day this year, super romantic LOL

    yes. cos I'm fat and it'd feel controlling. you gotta do it when you're ready, not when someone else things you are.

    My b/f knows I like to workout and I would see this as him for ONCE supporting my active life.

    I wouldn't be offended if I had mentioned that I wanted to meet with a personal trainer. If I hadn't, it has the possibility of coming off as a "hint, hint!" gift.

    It's more likely to offend a woman. what do you MEAN I'm not perfect EXACTLY THE WAY I AM?????

    As you said, probably not the most unbiased place to ask this question.

    I personally would love it.

    But if it's something you have never expressed a desire to have, it might seem like a "suggestion" about your size or fitness level.

    So the answer really is...it depends.

    No, because he knows how interested I am in my workouts right now. I'd love it.

    If I had no interest in exercise, I'd be pissed.

    Id love it...but my partner knows I am trying to focus on my weight but have $$ issues so cant afford that kind of thing.

    Now...if I was a person that wasn't weight conscious, I would be offended because that would mean my significant other wasnt happy with where I was.

    Just depends on the mind set of the woman or male.

    i wouldn't be offended. but i know the reason why someone would be offended - it's the immediate (and incorrect) leap to the conclusion that their partner doesn't find them attractive, and wants them to lose a few pounds.
