We
had
a
horrible
interaction
with
personal
trainer
based
in
North
Strathfield
club
-
Matthew
Thayaparan.
Last
Friday
afternoon
around
2pm,
I
was
training
with
my
friend
who
joined
FF
for
only
two
days.
We
were
each
using
a
gym
bench
near
the
kettlebell
rack,
doing
deadlift.
As
we
were
both
still
practicing
the
form,
we
use
the
benches
and
correct
our
forms
against
the
wall
that
is
right
next
to
our
benches.
5
mins
into
doing
so,
a
personal
trainer
with
his
client
came
to
us
and
asked
“are
you
using
the
benches”,
I
responded
yes,
then
he
asked
“both?”
I
responded
yes
as
we
got
two
people.
He
walked
away
and
came
back
in
not
even
5
mins,
started
accusing
us
for
not
using
the
benches,
I
explained
again
and
went
“we
are
now”.
He
started
ranting
and
raging
at
as
by
saying
we
are
wasting
his
time
and
more
but
I
couldn’t
really
hear
clearly,
so
I
walked
towards
him
and
turned
my
head
to
the
right,
saw
there
was
an
unoccupied
bench
so
I
asked
him
if
this
bench
solves
his
problem.
He
then
said
“it
doesn’t
matter.”
Throughout
the
conversation,
or
I
should
say
quarrel,
there
was
no
politeness,
decency,
customer
service,
professionalism
displayed
at
all.
We
were
treated
unfairly
for
using
the
benches
for
10
mins.
I
was
focusing
on
solving
the
problem
for
him
by
offering
the
empty
bench,
however,
this
person
just
wanted
to
keep
talking
rudely
to
us
to
let
something
out
of
his
system.
We
have
seen
his
interactions
with
others
who
are
Caucasian
males,
we
saw
different
attitudes.
Very
sad
to
see
nowadays,
sexism
and
racism
are
still
prevalent
among
us
when
it
comes
to
working
out
in
a
gym.
Is
it
because
we
are
Asians?
Or
is
it
because
we
are
girls
that
are
supposed
to
prioritise
to
make
rooms
for
the
PTs
when
they
are
working?
I
have
been
with
FF
for
more
than
10
years
(on
and
off,
I
cancelled
the
my
membership
previously
and
recently
joined
back
because
of
a
really
nice
staff
at
Pitt
st
club).
My
friend
has
been
with
FF
for
not
even
a
week.
The
incident
had
us
doubting
if
we
should
be
continuing
the
membership
as
we
do
not
feel
as
comfortable
anymore
when
going
to
North
Strathfield
club
but
sadly
that’s
the
only
club
that’s
within
a
reasonable
distance
from
us.
