I can see how it would happen: You're alone in your home day after day with a muscle-bound man. Together you get hot and sweaty. You're barely dressed. Just a sports bra and a pair of shorty shorts. He compliments you on your deep knee bends. He notices when you lose an inch off your waist. As he slips the measuring tape around your waist, you get a thrill from his touch..... If you're not a woman of strong moral convictions, why wouldn't you go for it? Now, I'm single and have never dated my trainer. But I can see a weak woman might get mixed up in situations like this.

I've been a personal trainer for over 15 years. I've trained dozens of married women who have admitted that one of the reasons that they took me on as their trainer inititally was how I looked physically. Once I got done kicking their butt during our session and then kindly say "check please, I'll see you next time", most soon forget about how I look and just pray they can get through the workout. There have been some that I believe stopped their sessions once they saw that it would only be strictly business. I know that some women have had to keep our workouts a secret from their husbands even though nothing was going on.

I recently read an interview with a hot male hair stylist in Manhatten and he had an interesting theory about why so many of his clients came onto him. He said only a husband or lover touches a woman as intimately as he does (above the neck) and that it leads to fantasies of further intimacy.

I think the same dynamic might be in play here with the added bonus that this hunky person is in a pseudo power position over the woman which can easily morph into a sexually charged atmosphere.

I'm not excusing the women, but that guy who crowed on the radio about his conquests sounds pretty unprofessional to me as well as a real jerk.

Unfortunately, I think this is far more common they we think.

Pathetic that someone would risk a marrage for 30 seconds. The underlining fact is these women are truly unhappy and need more than a personal trainer.

I'm happen to be a person trainer. The only clients that I'm even willing to work with are the ones who have money and would be open to an affair. If a trainer says otherwise, they're lying.

I think that a trainer and a trainee, opens up an opportunity for an affair. Most women want someone to be affectionate and to take their time with them, so this is an easy opportunity for temptation. Let's face it these are the kinds of scenes that are painted in the movies for us. So trainees,(men or women) I advise you to go home and work on your spouse in that area or leave that trainer alone!! Something is bound to happen!

Guess what Mr. Lonley wifes dream and hubbys worst nightmare. I'm in the same exercise class and know all 40 of those woman. They are all ex wives of Majic Johnson. They said they left him cause his was small and yours is even smaller. That is why you only had them once you fool. And I wouldn't have them because I know what majic has. And you probably have the same thing as him and are responsible for spreading to other people you scum bag.

And another thing,

Now that Mr. every mans worst nightmare came clean as to the male prostitution agency he is operating, under the front of a fitness trainer. Perhaps the law has enough evidence to press charges against him and the females who pay him for sex. Then I feel we should print all of their names in the paper just like we'd do if they were men paying for sex. It is the politicaly correct and right thing to do under the equal rights movement.

I have wrote an article about this so called trainer. Let me know what you think,

SCOTTSDALE PERSONAL TRAINER REBUTS NEWSWEEK ARTICLE "Mike Torchia, the trainer that sleeps with his clients."

SCOTTSDALE, Arizona ‹ July 8, 2004 ‹ Responding to "Confessions of a Personal Trainer," an article in the July 12 issue of Newsweek magazine, and found online on the MSNBC Web site (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5359377/site/newsweek), Scottsdale personal trainer Scott White rebuts the notion that men go into the personal training field to pick up on sexually dissatisfied married women.

"Guys like [Mike] Torchia . . . are destroying the reputation and industry of personal training. Torchia is making a mockery of the few trainers who work hard to make their lives¹ passion into a true profession.

"The fact is, if this guy were a doctor, he¹d lose his license. Too bad trainers don¹t need to be licensed. Hell, they barely even need to be educated. It¹s the height of unscrupulousness to use women in the way he does to make himself feel more important and desirable. This trainer is not important ‹ he is pathetic. He isn't making love ‹ he¹s taking advantage. He isn't even motivating these women ‹ he¹s using their desperation and loneliness to build up his own diminished ego, the one that needs to still be found desirable by someone, even if it is a woman having problems in her relationship with her husband."

White, a certified personal trainer and nutritionist, has a BA in kineseology from Arizona State University and has operated his own personal training business for the last four years.

Knowledgeable and well respected in his field, White cringes at the idea that people with questionable credentials are passing themselves off as personal trainers simply as a means to acquire more sexual conquests. But he¹s equally dismayed at the fact that a magazine like Newsweek would publish such a piece under its Society heading.

White warns that when a trainer such as Torchia "exhibits this much bad judgment regarding sexual involvement with his clients, he probably doesn¹t really know very much about training, either. It¹s likely he recommends a lot of things that don't work, like yo-yo diets, diet pills, and steroids. He¹s all about temporary satisfaction and joy ‹ he¹s not about helping his clients find solutions, just ways to cover up their problems."

Regarding "Confessions of a Personal Trainer"

My name is Scott White, and I am a personal trainer in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Though potentially a wonderfully rewarding career, personal training as a profession is often considered a joke ‹ and most trainers only amplify that image. One of the reasons is that it doesn't take much to call yourself a trainer. Mike Torchia¹s mom bought him some new Adidas and a pretty blue jogging suit, and presto, he was a trainer. A rare few highly qualified trainers bust their butts to educate themselves about the human body, to learn how proper training is essential for the body¹s optimal functioning and how improper training can hurt an individual emotionally, physically, and spiritually.

Guys like Torchia ‹ and sensational articles glamorizing him and giving his sordid story the time of day ‹ are destroying the reputation and industry of personal training. Torchia is making a mockery of the few trainers who work hard to make their lives¹ passion into a true profession.

The fact is, if this guy were a doctor, he¹d lose his license. Too bad trainers don¹t need to be licensed. Hell, they barely even need to be educated. It¹s the height of unscrupulousness to use women in the way he does to make himself feel more important and desirable. This trainer is not important ‹ he is pathetic. He isn't making love ‹ he¹s taking advantage. He isn't even motivating these women ‹ he¹s using their desperation and loneliness to build up his own diminished ego, the one that needs to still be found desirable by someone, even if it is a woman having problems in her relationship with her husband.

It¹s easy to see how this profession could be an entry into sex, if you allowed it to, but come on! Why limit the commentary to personal training? Why aren¹t we talking about tennis pros and divorce attorneys and therapists and ministers? This behavior goes on in so many other professions besides just personal training. Our society has become a joke when so many of us (30 to 40 percent of women and 50 percent of men, according to Newsweek¹s own figures) sleep with anyone nowadays. Commitment barley even exists, as of today; people are so easily willing to give up on the one person they promised their life to.

It¹s ridiculous how easy it is to get married and then to get unmarried in our country. If getting divorced were a more stringent procedure (such as, if you divorced someone, you would lose your head), I guarantee people would work a lot harder to save their marriages. Getting married is easy ‹ staying married may be one of the hardest things there is to do in life, harder even than staying on a personal training regimen. And the fact that people are no longer willing to work at anything, that they just throw in the towel when things get difficult, is not making staying married any easier.

I'm not pointing a finger at who¹s to blame in any given relationship. Most times, the problems have to do with both parties, though not always. Each and every relationship that ends has its own specific reasons for falling apart. But if every married couple promised each other at the beginning to help keep their relationship alive and fresh, so that even after six years or twenty-six years, they still felt the way they felt the day they got married, the only thing jerks like Mike Torchia would have to confess would be about being lonely and stupid.

What a joke ‹ "Confessions of a Personal Trainer." More like "Taking Advantage by Your Personal Trainer." Torchia was right about one thing ‹ working with a trainer does by its nature create an environment of trust and confidence. Clients often feel open to discussing personal problems with their trainers. But a true man ‹ and a qualified trainer ‹ discusses ways to help his client¹s marriage and improve her life. He doesn¹t sleep with her to satisfy his own lust and ego and make her feel temporarily better.

The fact is, if Torchia exhibits this much bad judgment regarding sexual involvement with his clients, he probably doesn¹t really know very much about training, either. It¹s likely he recommends a lot of things that don't work, like yo-yo diets, diet pills, and steroids. He¹s all about temporary satisfaction and joy ‹ he¹s not about helping his clients find solutions, just ways to cover up their problems. Torchia calls himself a trainer, but he might just as well put an ad in the paper and call himself a second-rate gigolo.

I truly hope more women won't be confused by this lost soul. A real professional trainer would never allow this kind of behavior, let alone suggest it. He would assist you emotionally, physically, and spiritually in getting your life back together ‹ he would not "help" you by trying to tear it apart. Value yourself enough to get with a professional fitness trainer who will help you make your life positive and motivate you toward the right solutions. It¹s possible that your marriage may not work out, and that is OK. But sleeping with some ridiculous guy who calls himself a personal trainer, or with anyone else, for that matter, won't help your situation.

Believe me, Torchia and other trainers like him aren¹t making love ‹ all they¹re making is disaster.

From a future loving husband and the best damn father I hope to be: I work in the fitness industry and I agree with Scott White from Arizona. Mike Torchia is a horrible example or a personal trainer and a human being. His article in newsweek was disgusting and will give personal training a bad name. Yes, there are personal trainers who get mixed up with their clients, single or married. But my challenege is not those individuals but to the businesses hiring them. Be smart, hire good employees who know motivate their clients without a vibrator.

I am a personal trainer at a popular local health club in my area. It so happens that the area I work in lends me to working with mostly women. I can tell everyone from my 3 yrs. of experience that I've been flirted with by married women much more often than I have by single women. Believe me I wish it were the opposite. Does anyone have any opinions on why this is so? It almost has made me want to quit my job because of some of the awkward situations it puts me in. I have a lot of integrity and have never had an affair but have been friendly with some of these married women. Some of them have actually told me they have come to work out just because I am there. What the heck is wrong with these women? I try to never get into any of my client's personal lives but often wonder what the heck is going on in these people's marriages. I have become really good friends with one of my clients whom I e-mail back and forth with as well as see regularly. I often wonder if her husband found out we were e-mailing each other whether or not he would like this very much. She always tells me she doesn't want to give me the wrong idea but yet insists on telling me I'm the perfect guy, how she's never felt more comfortable around anyone in her life, how we have this connection, etc. etc... You get the point. Anyway, I guess my point is that as a trainer it would be very easy to have an affair. You spend an hour of personal time with someone and its almost like a date.....................ROB
