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

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

Happened to me and my husband. I got fired for going for a run with my roommate.

You would think that your boss wouldn't mind since it's bringing in business.

So, now its like they force you to go to another gym if you want to get fit with friends? Thats just wrong, and I hope they see it soon.

When you are training someone you are not working out yourself, so why wouldn't you workout in your own time. So stupid, hope you get your job back, or a better one OP!

You should file a complaint of some sort, that doesn't seem right to me at all. But like somebody else said, I hope you get a better job and make them regret firing you. Good luck, OP!

This exact thing happened at the gym I work at. The trainer got complained about a lot then he brought in a friend who wasn't a member and was giving him workout tips. Due to the liability issue and the former complaints he got fired. Would be weird if OP was the guy from my work.
