Oh No You Didn't!

Good morning my friends! How are you? How was your weekend? Mine was good and interesting.  Saturday was a nice day and it ended up in the 90s! I did go for a bike ride and listened to the first chapter of The Lucky One on my iPod. I ended up going about 2 miles total. Then I decided to go dress shopping. I went to Ross and I was there for an hour and a half just poking around. These are the ones I picked. I have not tried them on but I will tonight.



The good news is the one on top was $9.99 and the other one was $11.99. They were also Plus Petite which is not easy to find. I am a shorty (5'2") and I drown in long lengths so major bonus. Even if they don't fit now, they will soon so it is all good.

Sunday was my last scheduled Personal Training appt. with Tim. My appt. was at 10:00 a.m. The gym was a lot less crowded then when I am usually there. Even though there were less people, there was a young woman who was too close for comfort. I asked her politely to move over a little bit and she said no. She said she was entitled to use that space as she paid her membership dues. I told her "I am spending $70 an hour so I am entitled to the space as well" Tim was trying to keep me focused but I was pissed off. Well, while she was doing another exercise, I decided to move her mat over and she charged me and physically pushed me while yelling at me. I was shocked! She then approached Tim and I told her that it was between her and I not him so I retaliated by pushing her back. She was a tiny gal but what a little scrapper. We had to file incident reports and everything. The manager will be in today so I can tell her what transpired. I can't believe that I was verbally and physically harassed at the gym in the same week! I am going to push to get them to comp me a session. I think it is utter BS that I am being treated like that by these punks. I am a grown woman and who wants to deal with that sh*t when they are going to the GYM!

After I got home, I hopped on my bike again and rode over to Blinky's and hung out for awhile. I did not drink. I wanted to trust me! It ended up being about 4 miles total. It felt great to be out there. The rest of the afternoon I just relaxed and prepared for the week. Until next time...

  2. That gym incident sounds HORRIBLE. I'm surprised your Tim didn't intervene... I'm glad you're going to speak to the manager today.

  3. I'm with Roz - Tim, as an employee of the gym, should have stepped in. WTF, anyway...it's not like you're at a MMA gym! That is some craziness.

    Hurray for buying dresses and DOUBLE hurray for plus petite! Woot to no hemming!!!

  4. The trainer should have been a stand up guy and fixed it. I would have been shocked and then peed my pants, cause that's what I do when I get really pissed. When I loose control I really loose it.... ha ha. I try not to get mad, for everybody's sake.

    Good luck with the manager. Hope it all works out.

  5. Wow that is full on crazy since when did the gym become a sandbox for inconsiderate people. I can't believe she actually pushed you wtf is wrong with people. I hope the manager does something about this.

  6. Did Tim step in either time? He should have intervened, as an employee. That is crazy to experience that in a gym twice in one week!

    Love the dresses :).

  7. That would be my final straw. You need to find another gym and get your money back from this place. It sounds like a war zone. Sheesh. And I totally agree the trainer should have stepped in and did something. He is a representative of the company and he should have spoken to the lady about the policy of the gym and how pushing is not tolerated.

  8. I would definitely find another gym. They obviously have some very immature patrons, and I couldn't deal with it. I would make them cancel my membership with no penalties! *hugs*

  9. WOW! I am new to your blog and I am amazed at the gym incident. I would defiantly go to managment. So sorry this happened. But way to not let it get the best of you. On a side note, I applaud you for the dress purchases. I to have issue with my legs. I am thinking I may invest in some of this "dermablend". :o)

  10. Cute dresses!
    Pardon my French, but what a bitch! Even if there isn't any room to move over, when some one asks you politely, I feel like you scooch over a bit no matter what.
    I admire how you handled it! I would have wanted to push her back!
