A woman hired a personal trainer, but started questioning their practices and technique. That’s because the trainer has been “fixing her form” by contacting her in a way she feels is inappropriate and squeezing her body.
In a video with over 20,800 views on TikTok since Dec. 17, Arya Rae (@aryaraeeeee) discussed the uncomfortable physical contact.
“ I hired a personal trainer, and he keeps, like, touching my butt and saying it’s because he’s trying to fix my form, but I don’t know,” she told her viewers. “He touched it for, like, and started squeezing it. So, I don’t think that’s right.”
Despite this, viewers have let her know it may not be as inappropriate as it seems.
Some commenters immediately chimed in to let Arya know that this may be a normal practice. As one commenter concluded, “touching the muscles establishes [a] mind/muscle connection. I cannot say if his reasoning is professional or not, but asking if he can touch you and state the reasoning why is a professional courtesy he should have extended to you.”
Muscle activation generally refers to activating a specific group of muscles. In this case, a personal trainer might check to make sure that their client is using their muscles properly and following through on an exercise throughout a workout.
But, trainers should also ask for feedback throughout the workout and regularly communicate why and how they’re touching their client, especially if it’s their first time working together. Generally, a trainer can also ask their client for general feedback to see if a workout is feeling right, and incorporate warm-ups into their routine to ensure a better likelihood of the results they’re looking for.
A good trainer may not necessarily need to “squeeze for results” multiple times during a set once they’ve verified that their client is working out with appropriate form.
As Fitness and Health reiterates, trainers should “avoid touching clients unless it is essential for instruction, using verbal cues and demonstrating on [their] own body in preference to touching the client. Most trainers might touch their clients during a first set, but may not continue doing so after verifying form.”
Based on Arya’s video, it didn’t necessarily seem like the trainer was “avoiding touching” his client unless absolutely necessary.
What she described in her video was a trainer’s habit to touch her multiple times during a set, not just one or two instances. She mentioned how he “[kept] trying” to touch her, without any explanation.
A fitness and lifestyle coach even wrote, “I’ve worked with hundreds of people and I’ve probably touched 4 shoulders. Fire the man.”
Overall, there was an emphasis that touching her repeatedly during a workout wasn’t necessarily “normal,” especially in inappropriate areas. Those generally include the breast, crotch, or butt.

Ray J is making a desperate plea in court to see his children after a restraining order has kept him away from 7-year-old Melody and 6-year-old Epik since Thanksgiving.
The singer’s lawyer, Alex Kessel, asked a Los Angeles judge Friday to modify the protective order that prevents Ray J from having any contact with his kids or their mother, Princess Love.
“This occurred when he was protecting his children. There’s no reason to separate him from his two children,” according to a motion obtained by The New York Post.
The legal battle started after Ray J was arrested on Thanksgiving Day following a heated argument with Princess Love at his Porter Ranch home. The incident happened around 4 A.M. during what was supposed to be a family holiday gathering.
According to court documents, Princess Love and a male friend came to Ray J’s house for Thanksgiving dinner and planned to stay overnight with the children. After the kids went to bed, the adults continued drinking, which Ray J claims led to the confrontation.
The court filing states that Ray J was trying to prevent Princess Love from driving with the children while intoxicated.
The cops showed up, and the singer was arrested and charged with six misdemeanor charges, including brandishing a firearm and child endangerment.
Ray J was released on $50,000 bail after his arrest, but he remains under the restraining order. But his main concern isn’t the criminal case – it’s getting back to his kids.
Ray J missed Christmas with his children and couldn’t celebrate his son Epik’s 6th birthday during the holiday season. He posted a heartbreaking message on social media about spending Christmas alone.
“A lonely Christmas. No kids, no presents, no little feet running around – just a tree and the weight of missing what matters most. I’m learning the hard way,” Ray J wrote.
For Ray J, the legal fight isn’t about avoiding criminal charges; it’s about being a father to his children. The restraining order has created a painful separation during what should be precious family time.
Kessel said Princess Love actually supports Ray J seeing their children and plans to testify in his favor.
Court papers confirm that “the children’s mother does not object to the defendant having contact with their two children.”
“The possession of a gun was to prevent the victims from physically removing them from the home and placing them in the vehicle of an extremely intoxicated person,” the documents say.
The couple has a long history of relationship drama. They’ve filed for divorce four times since 2020, with Princess Love most recently filing in February 2024.
Each time, they’ve dismissed their requests while trying to work things out.

Lil Durk is heading toward a federal trial in Los Angeles as prosecutors disclose they plan to call multiple cooperating witnesses who they say will testify that the rapper ordered and financed a deadly 2022 ambush tied to a long-running Hip-Hop feud.
Federal prosecutors revealed their witness strategy in a new court filing this week as they fight the defense’s efforts to block key testimony and related evidence.
The government says insiders are prepared to describe how the alleged plot was planned, funded and carried out, placing Durk at the center of the operation.
The case stems from the August 2022 killing of Lul Pab, a cousin of rapper Quando Rondo, who was shot to death near a Beverly Hills gas station. Prosecutors allege the killing was retaliation connected to the 2020 slaying of Chicago rapper King Von, a close associate of Durk, whose death intensified tensions between rival camps.
According to prosecutors, the government’s theory is straightforward. They claim Durk used his money, status and trusted intermediaries to arrange the attack from afar.
The filing states that cooperating witnesses will testify that Durk approved the plan, helped coordinate travel and logistics, and promised payment upon completion of the job.
“The government’s proposed evidence also provides critical corroboration of its multiple cooperating witnesses, who are anticipated to testify that [Lil Durk] ordered the violence in
Los Angeles, used intermediaries to recruit others to carry out the scheme, and promised a reward for carrying out the murder,” prosecutors said.
Durk was arrested in October 2024 and later indicted in federal court in the Central District of California. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges and remains in custody as the case moves closer to trial.
If convicted, he faces decades in federal prison.
The latest filing was submitted ahead of a January court hearing focused on what evidence jurors will be allowed to hear.
Defense attorneys have asked the judge to exclude testimony and materials they argue unfairly paint Durk and his Only the Family collective, known as OTF, as a criminal enterprise.
Prosecutors strongly oppose that request.
In the filing, the government argues the disputed evidence is essential for jurors to understand relationships among the defendants and why certain individuals allegedly followed orders. Prosecutors say they are not claiming OTF is purely criminal.
Instead, they argue a subset of people associated with the group allegedly operated like a street gang when settling disputes.
“The evidence shows that [Lil Durk] and his close OTF associates had rivalries, discussed violence against rivals and took violent street action to settle scores with their rivals, including the Los Angeles murder defendants, are alleged to have committed in this case,” prosecutors said.
Defense lawyers have signaled they plan to attack the credibility of cooperating witnesses, characterizing them as untrustworthy and self-interested.
Prosecutors acknowledged that strategy in the filing but said it does not justify keeping the testimony from the jury.
