I signed up to La Fitness because I need to lose weight and get in shape and doctors’ orders. I signed up in Feb. and started my workout, cardio and I noticed a trainer looking at me and laughing and pointing me out to his friend, and they both started laughing. I went up to him and asked him what was so funny and he said that there is no hope for me, I was devastated by his remarks and ask for his name and he told me his name was John Michael, manager/trainer and I asked him why he was so mean to say what he said to me and John Michael told me that he hates seeing overweight people in his gym and said everyone should be in shape like him. I called him a few choice words and left because I was very embarrassed and felt really bad about myself and cried all the way home. If our overweight don’t go to La Fitness in Carrollton because John Michael will make you feel like killing yourself, I guess John Michael got his wish with me. Since then I had gain another 20lbs and feel horrible, people like John Michael should be in charge of a fitness place and making overweight people feel the way he did me. AVOID THIS GYM, UNLESS YOU WANNA FEEL LIKE I DID WHEN JOHN MICHEAL DID WHAT HE DID TO ME
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I would pay no attention to this John Michael...I would of called the gym and complained about this trainer that they hired, so that they could get rid of this fool. He is representing LA Fitness Center and should handle himself accordingly. He sounds incompetent to me. Never give up my friend! You could do it...Exercise is Medicine :)
No one said anything about killing themself. The issue here is about one persons unprofessionalism, dont get it twisted..
Then place the race card back in the deck because her complaint has nothing to do with racism. Goodness...the woman vented out her frustrations which is exactly what this complaint board is for. Whether one decides to visit a business is entirely up to them, all she did was gave a forewarning. Im glad that you are able to shrug off rude comments, like you, I dont tolerate such behavior, but keep in mind not everyone is built that way. I agree that people need to toughen up, and sometimes all it takes is a bit of weight loss to build up that self esteem to do so, but even with that it does not excuse this JON MICHAELS behavior. He is representing a well known fitness center. If this was my business..be assured this person would be out the door. Anyone who I hire to represent my gym better be polite and courteous to ALL clients...Rich, poor, black, white, thin or large...everyone should be treated with respect.
LOL...get over what? The complaint was the issue here, not the poster...oh well, Im not even going to entertain this anymore... Someone really does need to see that psych. Look in the mirror.. Negativity breeds negativity...enough said...tsk tsk tsk...Have a great day!
LOL...Hater...hahaha...make that appointment...lol Enjoy your day!
