Shitting and Grunting Client at Fitness First Philippines SM North EDSA (Ire)

”Shit!” so exclaimed the male Fitness First Philippines SM North EDSA client as he performed his side leg lifts. Repeatedly, may I add. And, he liked grunting as he did his abdominal crunches, both exercises at the behest of his personal trainer.

It wouldn’t have been so irksome if he had been in the Group Exercise Studio or the gym, but the bothersome pair was in the serene Body and Mind Studio, where yoga, Pilates, meditation and stretching are usually done. In short, a certain level of silence is required (as if the muted lighting and Buddha statue weren’t indications enough).

Off I trotted to the reception desk to request for the Member Relations Manager, who was absent that Sunday afternoon of 08 October 2006, and, so was, conspicuously, every member of upper management, so I spoke with the Reception Supervisor and made a couple of suggestions: first, for them to tell the personal trainers to do any kind of regimen that requires them to speak with their client or may cause their client to make irritating noises to do so at the Group Exercise Studio; second, to post a sign requesting for silence in the Body and Mind Studio (the same type you see in the spas).

Hopefully, when I do go back, it would be to find a more knowledgeable and professional personal trainer staff as well as cooperative clients.

Hopefully.
