I don't know...I had more crushes on the female trainers; they inspire me to look like them. I'm not attracted to men who are wayyyyy too much into fitness. Just check out the body building forums and you'll see what I mean. The only intelligence I found there was that they knew how much protein chicken has.
On a side note, my coworker did end up marrying someone she met at the gym. Not sure if he was her trainer, but he's a former football player and has a high paying executive job. I admire her huge ring from time to time. You just never know unless you try.
When he starts spending time with you that is not scheduled by the gym you will have a better idea.
If I like a place (ie: gym, bar, other hang out, work) I wouldn't date anyone from there.

Have any of you all ever hooked up with a trainer or would you do so under the right circumstances?
Let's see...at my gym the two male trainers are married and the other two are female, so no. Would I if there was one who was male, right age range and single? I don't know. Depends on how militant he was about exercise, nutrition and all that comes with it. If our life together was going to be "normal", then sure, why not. If it was going to be all about working out 2 hours a day every day and counting calories and carb-fat-protein ratios, then no, that would not work for me. (And yes, the point of that example was to be incredibly extreme-that is NOT how I envision all trainers to be. I rent a room to one so I know that's not the reality of all trainers).
The gym is not a monastery. It's where you go to meet other people who care about their bodies.
The problem is that many suddenly stop caring as much (and disappear in turn) once the calendar turns to February. That and many have just started caring. Not really worth talking about at that point. The ones that really do and look the part are manic and sorta' into their free space.
I never have, but the gym I worked at for a few years had a lot of hooking up going on. Watched quite a few marriages implode over it, and saw a few girls get fired for turning down sex with the owner.
Yes, it's cliche, I know. But there's a personal trainer at my gym that I'm attracted to. He's not my personal trainer (too expensive), but I have had some interactions with him. First of all, he's not even my physical type. I would not have even found him attractive if I had never spoken to him and interacted with him because I'm pretty adamant about not dating guys who look like him. Not that he's not a goodlooking guy, but just completely NOT what I usually prefer. But the very first time I talked to him about my fitness goals and we exchanged some witty banter, I instantly became attracted to him. Then, I went in and had a complimentary training session with him, and he sometimes had to touch me to get me in the correction positions, and he commanded me to do things that I didn't really want to do. It was pretty hot, and I think I wouldn't mind getting to know him outside of the gym, but how does one even go about that? He's either a professional who doesn't fraternize with clients/potential clients or he's some womanizer who sleeps with women he meets at the gym all the time. I'm sure I'm not the only woman who has noticed that he's attractive. I did look at his Facebook page and it said he was single, but that doesn't really mean anything. It's not like I'm obsessed with him or anything, not to mention that I'm not some floozy who just throws herself at personal trainers. I'm just surprised that I'm attracted to someone who is the opposite of what I usually like, and I wonder if there's anything worth exploring there.
What do you guys think? Have any of you all ever hooked up with a trainer or would you do so under the right circumstances?
I doubt it. Look elsewhere for your kicks. Drama follows these people the way fruit flies follow over-ripe bananas.
I think the guy read you like a book (as these types are wont to do) He knew you were looking for flirtatious, quasi-sexual attention and he supplied it. He knows he's attractive. I don't know if he finds you attractive. Maybe to him, your money is the most attractive thing to him.
What does he have to lose? It was free, and it might net him a new client. Really, BangBang...this is how you have to look at this situation. He's handsome, charismatic, what red-blooded woman wouldn't want to try it? But please let common sense prevail. It's not what you think it is. I don't think you're being totally honest with yourself about what you want. I think you want a relationship to develop, but you think it might best be started with a casual hookup.

The bolded didn't happen though. I wouldn't say he flirted with me. Sure, we joked here and there, but he's been very professional. He did make a positive comment about my appearance, but like you said, he's selling a product, so why not try to be likeable?

You're right, casual hookups aren't really my thing, but the only reason why I think I might be able to handle something like that with this guy is because he's not my usual type, so maybe I wouldn't really fall for him.

Yeah, it's cool.
