While light flirting may be permissible in some circumstances, the Exercise Fitness Trainer must guard against making any one female student his favorite or the chosen one.

Some women base their own attractiveness or sex appeal on their ability to seduce men. They often base all their self-worth, self-esteem on getting the trainer to react to them in a sexual way.

Can we prevent it?

The exercise fitness trainer must maintain clear boundaries as to what he/she will allow in matters of intimacy with a student. Encouraging such behavior will all too often create problems for both student and teacher.

If the trainer does not respond to the student in the manner that the student wishes, an irreparable dilemma may occur.

It thus becomes the trainer’s goal to help the student achieve his or her inherent value and worth in light of the situation.

The student, whether male or female must learn to accept herself based on her own assumptions and inspirations, rather than striving to live up to someone else’s expectations.

Sexual ethics is, thus, a most formidable opponent for the Exercise Fitness Trainer.

Many clients may be exceptionally attractive, making it difficult for the trainer to maintain his/her decorum or to maintain an aura of a hands-off philosophy, while, at the once, maintaining his/her connection with the student.

Sexual ethics, of course, go well beyond merely hoping for a sexual encounter.

It may also take many forms, such as the gestures, the language, the tone of voice, the proximity between exercise fitness trainer and student, the clothing a trainer wears, and the quality of touch endured by both student and trainer.

It is altogether too easy to see who is on the make, be it trainer or student, and to interpret what a trainer wants, if, indeed, sex is on his/her mind.

The exercise fitness trainer must avoid all attempts to use his students for his own sexual or intimate needs.

Group exercise class for example – Yoga

Even in a environment of a group exercise class, a teacher must insure that each and every student is imbued with the realization that a Yoga class can be highly stimulating sexually.

A Yoga class is normally very sexy, with an atmosphere that is more often than not “touchy-feely.” Yoga clothing might also be highly revealing and exciting.

Also, books with such titles as “Tantric Love Making,” offer the Yoga student and teacher more than just the mundane or repetitive motions of Yoga instruction.

The teacher must be open to dialogue with a student, to create rules and to impart to the student those same rules, thereby, avoiding any transgressions that may occur.

This must be done before Yoga instruction leaves both teacher and student open to emotionally and legally charged challenging situations.

The teacher must then provide messages that are uplifting, music that is inspiring, and must emphasize disciplined and ethical alignment to create a healthy environment.

Do this, rather than using sexually charged music, or jokes, that do not create a teacher’s clearest intention. In short, leave your sexual feelings at the door. Don’t allow a student to misinterpret your concern.
