Would you be Offended if...?

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.

    i would love to see what the reason is for being offended by this gift.

    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.

    I would be so excited... I would probably let him help me work out right then and there. :P

    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?????

    I would absolutely love it! I would not be offended...he knows how much I've been working out and trying to lose...I would take it as motivation to get to the next level....

    If they don't workout they probably would be.

    only if I asked for it, otherwise I might take offense

    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.

    I'd be cool with it, you can always learn something new :)

    @tripmom02 tri suit is kinda hot, imo :tongue:

    Nope! Hubs knows I'd appreciate something like that! Now, if he tried to get it for me 4 years ago when I was being lazy and packing on the pounds, I might've had a little pitty party (he hates my body and thinks I'm fat and disgusting boohoo) but I think I would've gotten over it and seen the light and been grateful eventually. :)

    I would not be offended but of course I still have a lot of weight to lose so I would be very excitied. But if I felt I was in good shape I guess I could get offended!

    personally, no.
    But he knows I've wanted one.

    It wouldn't bother me, but I have friends that it WOULD bother. I think if the SO knows that the person is into fitness than it would be fine.

    Only if it wasn't accompanied by a box of chocolates. Because chocolate is the only reason for Vday.

    If I'd asked for it, it would be awesome! I'm usually not that practical with V-Day, though :laugh:
