Gay guys and women flirting with PT

[Jamiebubbleboyv]

I'm a 24 yo Bi guy who does doing PT until Aug (Sept i'm in Bondi yay!!!) in a very diverse part of London and attracts the younger scene, Uni students, LGBTQ+ and ethnic groups. I often travel to different cities.

how do you deal with gay guys trying to flirt with you and trying to become your "friend". I want to keep a professional relationship with all my clients and think its unethical if i started dating them. Some of the guys especially are smoking hot but i turn them away when normally i would snap them up! Same with the gals.

i was training this newbie "Ry Ry" and he starts commenting on my hair and saying if I'm a natural blond. Next session starts saying asking if I wore lenses and "how my eyes are so blue" or if he could take me out for a drink. I ignored him and he was totally embarrassed. I find older guys (40+) are the worst and some have rings on their finger. I can tell why they really hired me. After a few sessions its "Can you do 1-2-1 home sessions with no weights" or I'll buy you dinner if I can lose weight and such. Or others especially south Asian/iraq etc... middle easterner types oggle checking me out when I'm showing them say a squat or deadlift. instead of looking at the technique they are peering to catch a glimpse between my shorts or vest! wtf! standing with arms folded just say "yes sir" "yes sir me can trying that"

i understand humans are extremely varied and i need this job. How do I turn them down without embarrassing them? I went to an old fellas house a rich professor type. Large house awesome with real wood floors and panels, i did a few body weight, Yoga and stretching with him. His wife had died recently so i felt sorry for him.

then he says... after the session listen to this "I'll pay you £5000 for a full body massage" I said Ok i can do sports massage.. but the Professor says "clothes off and i'll make it £7000"
I said "i've got another client in 30 minutes another time eh and left asap"

Have any other PT's had issues like the client getting attached ?
I'm going to start co-teaching jujitsu as i've got few years experience so hopefully better clients!

Everyone who trains has been propositioned before. Just keep it professional, let them know when they're crossing the line, and if they don't stop then tell them to find another trainer.

Are you the same guy who posted a couple of weeks back about your problems with Middle Eastern clients?

I come here to talk about lifting. Not to read about blokes getting it on with other blokes. Go to the misc
