    Good job alveenar! You saved someone else from having to go through the same experience. You are changing the world. I am proud of you. Good job talking to the regional manager. You did the right thing. :)

    So sorry this happened to you! Sounds like that trainer is on their last warning. Karma will get them!
    Remember you’re doing this for YOU and no one else. Do your best to ignore those horrible people and carry on with your head held high!

    I was so happy to see the update to your story!! Keep facing down your fears and get back to the gym! Don't wait to get back home; go to another gym away from home---it will further empower you... :)

    Agree with everyone. This is not appropriate "encouragement" especially for a new student with whom no rapport has been developed.

    It's possible that it might be barely acceptable between an instructor and a student who have a long relationship. But on a first visit that's ridiculous. Worst is that other students seem to feel like it's acceptable.

    That's called a toxic environment, and you should definitely escalate to whomever is responsible for certifying the instructor, because she is representing their brand. Check with your home instructor for points of contact.

    Do not let it get you down! You spoke to the manager and that was the right thing to do. Put it behind you and keep going on with your workout. The teacher got fired and that was a lesson they needed to learn. Either they have to change their approach with members and guests at gyms or else they will not be employed. People pay serious money for these classes and deserve better. The gyms also will not tolerate instructors or fitness coaches that intimidate and scare away customers.
