Fat personal trainers?? I decided to try out a group fitness class at the local gym.  I came straight from work and needed to change, and the route to the locker room lead me past an area where a group was doing a HIIT class. I noticed there was a barge of a woman standing at the back watching the class while she leaned against a piece of weightlifting equipment. She was in workout clothes, but clearly had not been working out - the people in the class were red, sweaty, and panting (and yeah, all of them were overweight) and she looked like she had just come from brunch. Several brunches, in fact. Her leggings squeezed her fat up into three massive rolls around her abdomen, and her many chins had conglomerated into a bulge of fat like a bullfrog’s throat.  I figured she was someone’s wife or was checking out a class she was thinking of joining...until she started barking out instructions to the class-goers. It finally hit me - this lard was TEACHING the class. Her class jumped to start on the next set of exercises, and she moved slightly to shift her ample weight to her other foot.  I bet her tumblr is full of blubbering posts about “muh active lifestyle” and “I burn 3,000 calories a day and eat 800 and never lose weight.”  My spin instructor was human, at least, but I’m not sure I can go back if that’s the kind of people this gym is hiring.  I don’t understand how a gym could hire a fat trainer, much less that people would attend once they saw who taught it.
