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

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!

Even worse tonight. He's moved on from the tight shorts to very baggy tracksuit jogging pants. If anything, this is even more entertaining distracting. What's a girl to do?

Scarlet71 · 13/06/2012 22:08

Anyone willing to offer any advice?

1950sHousewife · 13/06/2012 22:11

This thread has made me laugh so much.

Advice? Keep him away from the Power Plate at the gym. I'd not want to see his shorts vibrate vigourously. Or maybe I would. I need photos to check.

Scarlet71 · 13/06/2012 22:13

Photos? Let's just say I wouldn't need a zoom lens.

Hmmmm I would say the middle one but really this guy is much more blessed than any of them!

1950sHousewife · 13/06/2012 22:24

Nutella - that is the funniest photo EVER. I love the way they all look so earnest whilst their meat and two veg are not left to the imagination. Bless you for that.

1950shousewife - imagine how embarassing it would be doing this if you had a really small willy (or a really big one!)

SNF Grin What the Dickens (arf) is going on with cyclist number two?? Poor lad

Scarlet71 · 13/06/2012 22:40

This is more like what I'm faced with every time I go to the gym
omg

1950sHousewife · 13/06/2012 22:41

As opposed to no 3 who has the bisected nutsack. (helps settle him onto the bike seat p'raps?)

And no 4 who dresses one way to compliment No 5 who dresses the other. Good to see a well balanced team.

Scarlet that's just boasting........Grin

Come on MN! Need to get this thread restarted. Away alone in a hotel on a business trip and needing some light relief!! Anyone up for it?

1950sHousewife · 14/06/2012 22:48

I'm sorry Scarlet71, but I am going off to flouncers corner unless you can provide photographic evidence that this gym-based Loch Ness Monster exists. Any chance of sending a group of American tourists with long lenses in to provide said evidence?

Scarlet71 · 14/06/2012 22:59

What a great idea! But a quick pic with my iPhone would be even better. Depends how close Incan get to him without arousing suspicion.
