Today, I was fired from job as a personal trainer. Why? Because I was working out with a friend while off-duty. Apparently, working out with a friend on a day off means I am training them under the table. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my personal trainer fired me. Why? Because I wanted to focus on strength training, not weight loss, and refused to track my carb intake or fasting hours or "hold off on carbs til the optimal time of day." Nice to know I'm not allowed to be satisfied with my own weight. FML
Today, I lost my job to the individual I just finished training. Within 2 hours after being escorted out, my old boss called and yelled at me for doing a lousy job. He was angry that the training was deficient and because the new person is as bad as I was. FML
Today, I got fired from my job because my boss thinks that me doing everything he says makes me untrustworthy. FML
Today, I got fired from my job. When I asked why, all that was said to me was, "We don't have to disclose that information, but you did nothing wrong. It's just not working out." FML
Today, I was fired without warning from my job because I was not consulting my boss about things like washing dishes and throwing away garbage. Basically, I was fired for being too good at my job. FML
Today, despite filling all the parameters for a model employee and being praised by multiple people over the time I was working, I was fired because a client complained to my manager that I didn't seem to know what I was doing. FML
Today, I was fired. Not only was I fired with no warning, not only was my friend the one who fired me, but I was fired from the unpaid volunteering position I took to help her out. FML
Today, my boss fired me because a coworker had seen me reading magazines on the job. That same coworker was the one who offered me the magazine. FML
Today, I was shopping at my workplace, out of uniform, with my husband. A customer recognised me and wanted me to serve him, but I couldn't since we can be fired for doing so while off-duty. He complained to my manager, who wasted no time publicly bitching me out. FML
Today, I was working out in the gym when a fitness trainer came up to me and said it wasn't safe to be exercising while this far along in a pregnancy. I was too ashamed to tell them that I'm not pregnant, so I went along with it. Time to find a new gym. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Imagining this, I would think working out under the table would be quite difficult, let alone training someone else under the table with you.

You're a personal trainer. That doesn't stop you from working out. I don't see why they can't understand that.

I think you have grounds for wrongful termination.

This is certainly an issue you need to work out with your former employer, as you shouldn't have been fired.

Jobs don't really work like breakups, it's not like his old boss is going to check his facebook and get bummed when they realize their new job is at a better gym that pays more.

The only reason I can think this could apply is the friend was also a client at the gym were op worked and would be seen as giving free advice/service that they otherwise would've paid for. They see it as losing business.

Except they implied he was receiving money for his assistance.

It kind of is training them under the table ive seen that case before

He said he was working out with them, he didn't say he was training, what if his buddy was the one who got him into working out in the first place?

It kind of isn't. **** am I saying? It absolutely isn't. To be considered "under the table", he'd have to be asking money from his friends, which, from the wording of the FML, OP wasn't.
