To ask male gym instructor to 'show' a little less

71 replies

AIBU to ask our rather nice new instructor to wear something other than very close fittIng lycra shorts? He seems to be quite a 'show-er' but his attributes attract way too much attention and discussion. I seem to find my eyes wandering a little during sessions and sometimes I have to get closer to the front to prevent others from getting distracted too! On the plus side I have lost half a stone. Seriously, what should I do - public decency is being outraged!

oh hell no - now where is this gym?

ChippingInNeedsCoffee · 30/05/2012 19:47

I think it is so good of you to get closer to the front to prevent others being distracted - you are providing a wonderful service.

Name of gym?

lashingsofbingeinghere · 30/05/2012 19:48

Yes please do ask him to start wear proper baggy shorts. You will get a real eyeful then instead of teasing glimpses.

mumblechum1 · 30/05/2012 19:48

Which days and times does he teach

LaurieFairyCake · 30/05/2012 19:49

Try not staring as his cock and nadgers Hmm

Dirty cow ..... Grin

TidyDancer · 30/05/2012 19:49

I'll want to avoid this gym forevermore. Please inform me which one it is so I don't go to the wrong one.

I get the sense you are not taking this seriously! And maybe you don't believe me and would all like to make your own judgement? And that suggestion about baggy shorts is just rude! (imagines being hypnotised watching something swing from side to side...)

I agree with the others, this sounds awful. I'll need his name so I can report him to the correct authorities.

ifeelloved · 30/05/2012 19:59

I think we can't make an informed decision unless you tell us which gym it is and which classes he takes!

ShatnersBassoon · 30/05/2012 19:59

I love your selflessness in trying to protect those of a less pervy worldly nature, but looking closer at his penile bulge won't use up the view and make it disappear. Nice try though.

Would love you all to come but the class is full. The other ladies nominated me to say something they were so shocked and appalled. This is quite a delicate matter to handle, so to speak.

You'll be needing some surveillance footage. When you go to the authorities, they will want to know what sort of thing they are dealing with. If it helps, you could film, upload onto youtube, and then we could check it out for you. This way you wouldn't have to put yourself through such horrific material again, but you would have some mature and considered opinions as to whether you need to report him as an emergency, or continue filming for more evidence.

TidyDancer that's more like it - a practical suggestion. Do I have any brave volunteers to lend a hand with the surveillance so it isn't too obvious?

IvanaHumpalot · 30/05/2012 20:35

So all of the FULL CLASS is SHOCKED and APPALLED? I say again FULL CLASS...

ThePathanKhansWitch · 30/05/2012 20:35

Terrible and distracting I would imagine... would you like me to check it out for you? Pm me the details. This can't be allowed to continue. Tsk!

HmmThinkingAboutIt · 30/05/2012 20:37

I think you should wear something really sexy and tease him. That way you can really tell if hes a shower or a grower. I don't think you can really tell unless you do that. Be sure to take to photos for the MN Jury, so we can really decide if you are being unreasonable or not.

ThePathanKhansWitch · 30/05/2012 20:37

Scarlet is this a stealth boast about the size of your personal trainers todger Hmm?, I've just noticed the class is full comment.

Bet you never shared as a child.

Yes, Ivana. I think it must be people trying to get fit for the summer. Strange that it's all women as well. And you can tell how shocked they are by how much they stare.

Starting to visualise Eric Prydz stylee gym.

HmmThinkingAboutIt · 30/05/2012 20:43

You know its rude to stare now don't you scarlet. I thought they taught you that when you are still a child. You have no excuse.

Whatmeworry · 30/05/2012 20:45

I am The Authorities, please send all information and videos here to perve for review.

Of course, we shall have to install secret cameras for a number of months weeks to gather sufficient video evidence.

Glad to see that The Authorities are now involved. I hope you will be thorough and examine all the evidence.

HmmThinkingAboutIt - what do you suggest i wear to enable me to test your hypothesis? And what reaction am I looking for?

Whatmeworry · 30/05/2012 20:59

I hope you will be thorough and examine all the evidence

We will examine every twist and turn of the evidence very closely. The long arm of the law is determined to keep a very firm grip on this.

Oddly enough every WPC in the building has volunteered for this case....
