Greetings fellow gym goers, just wanted to give a heads up about something that had happened to a friend of mine recently at a location within Durham Region.

There is a good friend of mine that I’ve known for years, we’ll call him Kay. So basically, Kay was just doing his regular deadlifts and was deadlifting 315 for about 8-reps without the weights touching the ground. While that’s happening, a personal trainer is watching him from the distance. As soon as Kay finishes his set, the trainer approaches him in an overly friendly/kind manner with a smile and asks him what he is training for etc...

Long story short they exchange words and then the PT ask him if he would like a complimentary session with him where he could show him a few methods to help him with his deadlifts. Kay agrees, the problem is that this PT exchanges phones numbers with Kay and pretends to act like a new friend towards him. Kay then attends the personal training session and sadly that PT only used Kay for that one session just so he could increase his client quota number. Kay soon realized that he got used like a commodity by this trainer only to then get ghosted and ignored by this scummy trainer. That PT never spoke to him ever again. Kay was under the impression that his trainer wanted to be his friend but was quite sad when he realized that he had taken advantage of.  

I know Goodlife invites newly registered members for a free personal training session, but this was different as my friend has been training for nearly 9 years as a GoodLife member.  

Please be careful folks, a lot of PTs at GoodLife could sleazy opportunists who will act extra friendly and kind towards you, only then take advantage of you just so they can increase their quota instead of acquiring actual clients. They have ZERO interest in getting to know you as a person.

✌️
