One thing to remember about all this (as I posted in a previous blog entry a while ago)...
Had things been allowed to play out normally when I put in my resignation, this blog probably would have never been created. I tried to do the right thing by meeting with the CEO and give plenty of notice when I resigned. I didn't want to cause any scheduling problems and just wanted to say goodbye to everyone and end of as much of a positive note as I could (and "get the hell out of dodge"). Instead, the coordinator decided the night before my early morning class to just take away all my classes and let me know via an email. They tried to keep things quiet and hide what was really going on but I'm not the type of person to let that happen when I'm wronged. I tried to contact the CEO and see if he really wanted things to go down like that but he never responded so I began the blog.
It's a shame things happened as they did and they certainly could have been prevented. I recently found out that the previous coordinator was given all kinds of hell for hiring me (4 years after the fact) because of this blog. I put in 4 years of teaching and brought in clients, helped keep clients, had well attended classes, and went out of my way to offer up special classes of all kinds. Never once was I told I was doing a bad job or needed to work on something. Then, after I felt I was treated wrong (after resigning) and spoke out about it, the former coordinator was reprimanded for ever hiring me... Uh, what the hell??? I wish people would take responsibility for their own actions and not blame others once in a while! Perhaps the management involved in all this should take a step back and look at how things were handled and realize that not everyone will be a passive quiet mouse!

Going their separate ways
Well, I thought it was time for an update so here it goes... A while ago, there were lots of comments posted on my site concerning the immoral, unprofessional actions of the fitness director. Obviously, people had seen things and heard comments about her activities with her business clients and were upset about this.
First, let's go back a little further. I was given some information and permission to use it on the blog by the fitness director's husband. For those unaware, a while ago, the husband got a great opportunity for a job which was in another state. At this point, the fitness director was an aerobic instructor and personal trainer. Soon after his acceptance and the beginnings of moving, the facility decided to offer her a promotion, knowing that he had accepted this new job. Obviously, this illustrates the character (or lack thereof) of the people running this facility. Why in the world would they try to tempt her to stay and break up a family of many years? To me, this is the typical "shadiness" that goes on there.
Anyway, she was promoted to aerobics coordinator and then fitness director. Keep in mind that she accepted this position so that doesn't say much about her character with regard to family values as far as I'm concerned. Soon after this, people start talking for various reasons. Many people saw her going into her office with one of her male boot camp participants and closing her door. That definitely started to raise some eyebrows. Then, when people overheard the male bragging about his sexual adventures with her, that set off some alarms. This was all inside the facility - just imagine what went on outside of the facility... Uh, on second thought, don't do that! (I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.. hahaha) Actually, people did comment about seeing her "out on the town" and being very very "friendly" with someone...
So, that's when people started putting the comments on my blog. Obviously, people were angered about her actions and spoke out on it. I'm not married and I didn't know her husband but it bothered me as well and I could only feel bad for him. He didn't deserve this. As he told me, they had been together for nearly 20 years and he loved her very much. So, she was throwing all this away to stay in town with this promotion... Is this "The Love Of Money" or something (someone) else? Several people said that they didn't believe she would do anything like this but then in the same comment said that IF it was true, she should stop this immediately.
Well, the divorce proceedings have begun so the doubters can now be believers. It's very unfortunate but I wish the husband the best. I'm glad people stepped up for what is right and encourage anyone with any information to help the husband to feel free to email me or post something on the blog. I know he checks the blog from time to time as does the upper management at the facility in question.
For this facility to be aware of even the possibility of this unethical, unprofessional behavior and not to address it in some way really says something to me and I hope it says something to others too!
