NWR: Gym frustration (kind of long)

A little back story about this matter. I had been going to the gym everyday at a certain time. There was this older man that I would run in the same row as and he would sing a long to his music. I would look at him a few times hopping that'd make him stop singing but it didn't. A few months go by and all of the sudden out of the blue he comes up and says to me that he notices that I've been doing well and to keep it up. I kind of shook it off but considered it kind weird in a way and decided to change the time that I go. I go a few days at this new time and the one day I was going to my car, I hear a car honk. I look around and its him just getting out his car and he waves. I just kind of wave to be nice and get in my car and drive away fastly. I decided to change the time I go again and went later in the evening. He came in one day and saw I was there but didn't say anything. I went on to go at this time for weeks without him being there until yesterday and today. Yesterday he comes up to me and tells me that what I'm doing is good and to make sure to come. I was amazed that he would do this yet again and couldn't wait to leave. Today I go a little earlier then today hopping that I don't run into him and I do. At which he tells me that I should say hello to him and that it would make his day. I was going to tell the people at the gym before I left about this but he was still there so I didn't really want to say something and then he comes after me or something. I do though feel like I should say something to them. I've tried to just ignore it or go at a different time but that hasn't seemed to work. My question is how much will they be able to do? I guess I just worry that he'll end up stalking me because of this or something. It may not happen but you never know. Is there any other measures I could take? Thanks!

  • Maybe he's just a crazy old fart and he's harmless. Sometimes old people lose their filters. He might just think he is encouraging you.

  • Talk to the management.  A big selling point at my gym is that they actively discourage this sort of thing.  DH has seen men removed for hitting on the women there.  Management knows we are married but you should see the looks we get from other members if we are talking to eachother for too long and god forbid if he gives me a quick kiss before going off to do his own routine.

  • Yeah, I would say something, I am also a member of a gym and in the very beginning when I started going there, there was some guy that would just walk around and get on machines next to or close to where cute girls were and one day he came up to me and asked me where my boyfriend was and if he could get my number. I just laughed at him and said no and when I was done working out, told the front desk people that there was a guy walking around, not even working out, asking me for my number and saying things to girls.

    This was about 8 months ago, the other day I saw him again and I always work out with my mom but she had walked away to use another machine and when I walked past him to get to her he quietly said under his breath, "Hey sexyyy.." I just walked past, told my mom and she laughed and we told the management again.
