writes:A while ago I went to the gym with my friend. When we get there we're greeted by a personal trainer, he asks what we came for. He offered to show me what to do. I'm a stickler for not paying for anything, so I asked about payment. He said no, won't cost me anything.So he spent half an hour having me do a few workouts on my own. When I asked for a break he said something to my friend, she later told me he asked if we were sisters and in her opinion a strange comment about me being sore (which wasn't a lie!).We left, and she said "That's weird, PT's don't usually give you a long session like that for free." I thought nothing of it and said. "Well, its smart--he obviously wanted a client and what better way to get one than to show me you know your stuff." She agreed.We went back, again, but a while after. As we walked in he looks at me and says "Are you from the church?" I didn't hear him, but before I could respond my friend says "No she's the one you trained with the last time." He laughed and asked me if I wanted to do some more stuff with him. I told him "no" jokingly.Here's what I thought stood out:He continued to come up to us, but whenever he did he would direct his questions/comments to me. He joked around about my legs/working them out, asked me again I wanted to train again, and made light conversation. He even came back and suggested we do something else. Truthfully I thought nothing (still do), but my friend thinks he was (definitely) flirting/probably feeling me. I don't think much of it because I felt like as a PT it kinda comes with the job, and his way of making money. What do you get from this?

 Its hard to tell maybe he just wanted to show use some stuff as he had nothing to do, he new he recognized you from somewhere before but he wasn't sure where, so this shows that he wasn't waiting around for you to come back.
If am being honest with you I think you both might be looking in to this a bit to much, yes he may have had an innocent flirt, or yes maybe he is interested in getting to know you. Nobody but him knows his intentions, therefore just go with the flow and see what happens, just don't get your hopes up.

 Yes I think you are right. It is stock-in-trade for instructors particularly if you and your friend look 'fit' and not in an athletic sense. Don't fall for the old malarkey.
