Plano Mom Shocked That Nipples Get Hard During Exercise, Sues Caring and Attentive Trainers



PLANO - Jamie Johnson is a mother of two. She was hoping to get back into an exercise routine, so she started going to the LA Fitness club near Coit Road and Bush Turnpike in Plano. She said her experience quickly soured after her two trainers allegedly made sexually explicit comments and put her through unusual exercises.
“The behavior of both trainers is reprehensible,” said attorney Chase Laws.
Johnson said one trainer put her through unusual exercises that she said exploited her.
“I would ask, 'Why this exercise?' or, 'Why are you standing there?' and he would bluntly say: 'So I can see your chest move,'” Johnson said.
She claims the trainer made sexually explicit statements on a daily basis. At one point, Johnson recalled the trainer saying: "I know you’re getting a good workout because your nipples are getting hard."
Johnson said she cried and left the gym and didn't return for months. She came back to LA Fitness only to have another trainer make similar comments and put her in other unusual exercises that she said exploited her body.
Johnson said the final straw was a text message that her five-year-old first opened. It read: “Do u suffer from hard nipple syndrome,” referring to her previous interaction with her first trainer.
Their petition shows the Johnsons are reporting roughly $2,800 in monetary losses. Jamie Johnson is seeking damages for lost wages, psychiatric care, out-of-pocket expenses, and lost earnings.

Sure, in the movies the trainers are all high-fivin' bro's and feelin' up trophy wives. To all the young, aspiring health professionals out there, let this serve as a lesson. The real world's all Jamie Johnsons... overweight, bitter housewives who don't understand the basic human responses to exercise. Should a respected trainer make it a little more clear in the initial consult how he gauges exercise intensity? Probably. Should every professional avoid texts that could serve as evidence? Absolutely. If you don't know that a couple of acorns can sneak into a sports bra after crushing a boot camp class, I think we all know that every exercise is "unusual," don't we Jamie.
