People are intimidated by other overly good looking people. Most health clubs are average people today. The face of the gym is changing. This would have worked 10-15 years ago when members of a gym were their because of vanity. Today it's for their health! I agree with Rick. This is not going to work in my club.

Even more so as a female fitness professional who has been referred to as "easy on the eyes" by more than one fellow respected fitpro. My initial response is to feel objectified and used, and wishing men and women alike look past the physical qualities to see the intelligent passionate and caring female within...look deeper to appreciate the total package. However...... I REFUSE to apologize for the physical features that God bestowed upon me,... OR DISGUISE and HIDE them as if they are some unfair advantage. "Dont hate me cause Im beautiful"...BUT DONT ASSume there is no brain behind my beauty either! IF my body draws attention it is because I work my A** off to be the best trainer and client advocate I can be! I am passionate about my profession, and MY BODY is MY best BUSINESS CARD. I would be lying if I said I never played up physical features to promote fitness...I just weild my weapon wisely and appropriately! So many knee-jerk reactions fly to the surface as a woman.

Would any of you turn her away and not take her on as a client because she is too attractive? That would be absurd. So to use the excuse that attractive women would scare away your other clients, maybe you need to help your overweight or older clients get through their personal issues and insecurities, because obviously they are not improving mentally or with their self confidence if they can't emotionally handle working out next to a fit young attractive woman. If men or women can't become mentally tougher, they probably aren't going to get very good results in the long run anyways. Grow a back bone.
