Should I put her in her place or am i overreacting?
this female friend of mine she works at my gym and everytime they get a new guy/trainer she sings their praises to me. but every time i get involved/ even start training with them i find out i shouldn't have and it turns into a disaster like with the current guy i knowed though her. when i'm suffering, and its over she pops up to say "most of these guys r like that." but when i agree she tries to give me some pollyanna story about how "they r not all like that. there's some good guys out there." i don't get her. now she got a new guy into the gym and after i told her i was gonna quit the old guy she referred me to, and stop being friends with him and ,aybe even quit working out alltogether, she now is spamming my FB page with her little happy chats with the new guy, praising how wonderful he is and vice versa. she even took my hands once and said "beleive me, u don't see it now, but this guy will be the answer to all ur problems and dreams." wtf? right about now i'm starting to think this is all about her business than me or helping me at all. some friend.

Put her in her place. She just wants to be right, even if it means changing her opinion every minute.

Keep your friend out of your love life. Limit access to your facebook page; it may annoy her but she will get over it.

It sounds like she's focusing on her sales job.

I was a personal trainer at a chain gym and of course made friends with coworkers involved in sales. When I quit, I suddenly was receiving constant texts from one of these coworkers about sales prices to rejoin as a member. I did mention to this guy that I had wanted to join the gym again in the future just to workout but didn't expect him to start spamming me like that. I eventually said something about it; it irritated me so much. I forget what it was...I think I did directly say that I didn't need the sales pitches.

I bought the membership online on my own so that it didn't go toward him or the old gym I worked for. He obviously just needed sales, and I know how desperate he was for sales before I quit.

You should see their facebook pages. Every other status update is about some new great sales deal for joining the gym or buying sessions with a trainer. Sales is one of the things I absolutely hated as a personal trainer.

I suggest you tell her that you no longer want a personal trainer or straight out that you no longer want any sales pitches. The latter should get her to stop altogether, however, it could also get her to distance herself from you for good. Ask how badly you want her as a friend.

Oftentimes, the newest trainer isn't the one you want anyway.
