    Wow. Just wow.

    Not much more to be said than what has already been said but in terms of addressing it I would definitely report it to the gym management.

    Creepy, leery, inappropriate and totally unprofessional. This guy shouldnt be working in a gym environment. In fact, he probably shouldnt be let out in public unsupervised.

    Hard to believe that someone on thread thinks its ok just because some women laugh at it. This doesnt make it ok.

    in fairness, the Op says her mates love the comments. The comments are welcome in many quarters.

    I'm not attacking the OP but if her mates love the attention then perhaps he isn't doing much wrong and perhaps shouldn't be hauled over the coals. A polite word is all it would take.
    The OP has the right not to be continually upset by the guy but her friends also have the right to their flirt. It would a shame for the guy to have to change his demeanour just for the OP when the others want this type of interaction.



    what about the women who like the comments? do they have no say?

    This is a ridiculous argument.

    Some of the women who seem to enjoy it might not at all but they don't know how to react. The women who do enjoy it will be able to live without it.

    As for forcing the man to change his demeanour - he should. He is *at work* making sexual comments at customers. It's weird and gross. The fact that some women enjoy the compliment doens't mean anyone should have to put up with it.

    If it's not okay in an office or a supermarket or a takeaway, why would it be appropriate at the gym?

    Ill just have to deal with it.

    But you shouldn't have to OP! This is the issue, there are probably other woman who feel the same but have also got the same feedback as some have given here saying "o sure other women aren't offended" or "its only a bit of fun" so they say nothing and it just continues. He is an employee of the gym which means he has guidelines from his boss to follow and I'm sure they don't include wolf whistling at female customers.
