How can the 24 Hour Fitness trainers be so insincere?

I'd heard about the way the trainers/employees are at the 24 Hour Fitness. They have a monthly sale to meet...they're moreso salespeople than trainers..

My trainer was very nice/sweet the first day. The second day, she was still nice. (I hadn't been feeling well that day) I said what I had eaten and I hadn't eaten much. She said I was eating too little and continually told me that session I needed to eat more meals. After, I saw her in the locker room, checking the bathroom area (to make sure I wasn't getting sick?). The third day, today, she started saying things that, to me, sounded as though she was implying I was anorexic or whatever. She started talking about me taking vitamins, because of the way I eliminate calories (at this point, I was like "what?" because it seemed to me she was referring to that) She then mentioned I could buy the vitamins the gym sells and started going into that but I laughed and shook my head no. She also started at some point with "It's getting hot in here. It must be the fat burners I took" and I was like "you're taking pills..." (cause I don't agree with that) and she started off like a telemarketer "yeah, they're great. They have caffeine in them as well so that I..." and it was so obvious she was trying to sell me the gym's stuff. She used accusing me of being anorexic to do it. Again, the first two days, she was alright, nice most of the time...today, she wasn't paying attention at all, she was continually looking at herself in the mirror and making those posey faces, flipping her hair and etc as I worked... wtf? She was entirely different; not sweet/nice but stuck-up/self-centered.

My mom's trainer is clearly only interested in the money as well. I just hear all this stuff about the trainers at the 24 Hour Fitness and I didn't figure mine would be like that...I was so disappointed when she started up...

I say insincere, because rather than worrying about their clients and their health, they're worried about selling products. I understand it's the business; it's the way 24 works...but I just couldn't picture being like that. I couldn't be so incredibly fake. How do they do that with people's health on the line?
