    Default douchey trainer at the gym...

    So I'm on the stairmaster at the gym this morning - my go-to machine for fine-tuning my butt and legs. In order for me to get the results I want, this typically means 45-60 minutes at a pretty moderate rate.

    I was like 40 minutes into it (going for 60) and one of the trainers, a particularly muscled cro-magnum looking guy, comes up to me and asks "how much longer you got?" Now in gym language, this means "I'd like to use that machine." Because there is only one stairmaster at this place, I decide to be courteous and just do 5 more minutes. Never mind the fact that there was absolutely nobody else doing work on any of the cardio machines there...but hey, I'm polite.

    So he's like "okay, good." I get off, go over to the eliptical, and do the last 15 minutes on that machine. I was there for about 30 minutes after that lifting weights. The whole time, the stairmaster was empty. He didn't get on it. He didn't have a client to put on it. Nothing. And there is no dumb "30 minute time limit" or anything on the machines there.

    So what gives? Was this his retarded way of trying to say hi?

    Sounds like it was his retarded way of being a retard. Sometimes people do stuff and I wonder if on some level it even makes sense to the person who is doing it.

    ^i think thats what he meant.
    The best thing i have heard in a strip club to date:
    customer: we should get married right now! we should get a shotgun marriage!
    me: uhh... i think you are misunderstanding what a shotgun marriage means. A shotgun marriage means you knock me up and my daddy shows up at your door with a gun and forces you to marry me and raise the baby. You mean elope.
    customer: hmm... nah actually i will take the shotgun marriage. At least then we would be having sex.

    Retarded is as retarded does.

    LOL Athena. Seriously though...the ONLY time I've ever seen a man on the stairmaster was when I had a training partner with a crush on me in college (so he'd get on the machine next to me).

    agreed. stairmasters are very womanly. it helps us get too and from the kitchen and bedroom in a timely fashion .

    in my gym in NOLA id sometimes see guys on the stairmasters. but are we talking the pedal stairmasters or the stairmasters that actually look like stairs? ive never actually seen a dude on the ones that look like stairs. and if you spend an hour on the pedal ones.... kudos to you... i usually max out at 20 min on those before i hit up the other machines.

    Maybe he was trying to have a conversation.... or he was stupid.

    I mean if he didnt come back within 10-15 mins, you could have went back onto the machine and he had a problem he would have said something again. I dont think he was thinking properly when he asked though

    Was it possible he just got distracted?

    If you see him again & he tries to talk to you I'd suggest asking him about it.

    The pedal one - there isn't a stepmill at this gym, but those things are awesome.

    I may. He is kind of creepy though. When he asked that question, he stood there, staring at my thighs. In his defense, I wear the really short volleyball spandex shorts to work out in - I don't mind the looks (ha! obviously), but the close proximity staring was a little odd.

    probably his lame way of getting back into control of something that he doesnt need to have control of anyways, or he just wanted to initiate conversation with you??

    usually when trainers say stupid things to me, it's been in an attempt to drum up business. like i'm gonna giggle and say "oh, have i been on too long? i have no idea what i'm doing. how much do you charge?"

    my gym has a bunch of stepmils. i see men using them all the time, usually no more than ten minutes at a time, but they use them. as for the regular stair things, i never see anyone at all use them.

    My guess is he fancies the pants off you and can't get his brain to engage properly....
