I can see with an 'exclusive' agreement that outside trainers cannot come in. A fellow member seemingly has every right as you do whether you're shooting the breeze while using equipment or he is spotting you when lifting.

If this is a real problem and you can't get a resolution, then maybe do your training with you trainer using subtle methods such as hand signals, or even a text if some method of training has to be discussed. I for sure would take videos of any questionable enforcement by the licensed trainers against members communicating with other members.

And, BTW, what is the enforcement or penalty? What if you and your buddy are working out and someone comes over from the company? What happens if you say mind your own business, we're members here?

Sounds like a gray area that you need to change the shade to black and white. They gonna sue? Hopefully a community that large has an attorney on retainer.

And how do you feel about the outside people that come for boot camp? For $1500/mo. I'd give them the boot.
