<\/a>I had a female client who initially wanted to lose weight, but after a few sessions she just wanted me. It began to get very creepy. For my birthday, she brought me a gift from Hawaii, but I wouldn\u2019t accept it. Then, in another session, she talked the entire time about how much she missed and NEEDED<\/em> me. That\u2019s when I decided it would be our last session.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve had male clients practically stripping in the middle of the gym saying they wanted my opinion on their muscles. Then they wanted to change the terms of the training sessions, they wanted to pay to watch me train myself and in particular they wanted me to perform squat exercises in tight shorts.<\/p>\n It\u2019s one thing for people to visit my site which is setup for exactly this, getting off watching me perform. But it is another when you are in a professional environment, trying to help people, and they treat you like a sex object instead of the skilled and certified trainer that I am. There is a time and a place for everything. I\u2019m a sex object on PeterFever.com<\/a>, I\u2019m an expert training adviser on PetePhysique.com<\/a>, and I\u2019m a professional trainer at the gym. As long as people can keep these straight, everything is good. But there are always those few who feel it is ok to cross the line. Well, I put them in check; cross the line and I cross you off my list of clients.<\/p>\n After all, you can\u2019t let people take advantage of you, not matter what your profession. It all starts with self-respect, then enforcing that others respect you as well; when they don\u2019t, cut them off. Stand up for yourself. Trust me, you might feel uncomfortable at first when you insist that people respect your boundaries, but after a while you will feel in control. So stop waiting, take control!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
