Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : I help out as a trainer in my father's boxing gym. Each  trainer is assigned a number of trainees ranging from 3 to 5 in a  training session. For this session, I had to take care of  four women trainees. I would like to mention that these are all  amateur trainees; most are to here for fitness, not to learn boxing.

From the beginning, two of the trainees were talking pretty much non-stop with each other. I did not have a problem with it; we also don't have the rule of 'no talking' during training. The  only problem would be if another trainee complains to us about someone  talking too much, in which case, I guess we'd have to take action. But such was not the case, there was no one who complained.

After the first hour of workout, I transitioned into heavy bag workout. In a bag work, as a trainer, I have to do two things -  hold the bag and tell the moves to be executed by the trainee, and count the timing. Usually, each move is done for 10 counts.

During this period, one of the women who was talking was not doing the moves correctly. This is a common thing - for many trainees, the trainers don't force them to get every move right because  we know that it is not the main concern. But sometimes, out of instinct, we would try to fix the posture or show how to do a move correctly. So, I tried to correct her - she was doing a hook wrong. It went well. (I would also like to say that she was still talking with her friend) And then, her turn comes again and I had her do some punches. I counted to 10, but as it sometimes happen, she missed  her 10th count. So, I told her that she still has one count of moves left to do. This is something that happens often - both trainees and trainers can miss their counts.

However, she suddenly became angry at me, and said something along the lines of  'I come here to relax and talk with my friend. Stop grilling me, and I  don't care about the techniques or doing them properly'.

I  was shocked. As a non-confrontational person, I told her that I didn't have a problem with her talking to her friend and that I wasn't trying to grill her. At that point, we still had plenty of time left and there were others waiting so I didn't want to dwell on the matter. The rest of the session went awkwardly but by the end, she was  back to normal and I pretended like everything was okay. I meant to talk  to her by the end just to clarify myself but I didn't end up doing it.

This whole thing is still in my mind. I've seen that woman and her friend  come to train before; they're generally nice people. Something just went wrong today and I guess ruined her time? I don't feel like I was being an asshole cos correcting moves and keeping count correctly was just part of my duty and I was doing my job. But beyond that duty is some gray area where I'm supposed to satisfy a customer where I guess I messed up?
