November 10, 201510 yr Author Update: Thanks to the responses here it's clear that I overestimated the "saving face" aspect of this situation. I'm new and almost everything I've read or heard about Thailand stressed how serious it is so I wanted to act conservatively. At home it wouldn't have been an issue because I know the social rules. I walk into the gym feeling totally relaxed; of course this is going to be easy. I talked to both the trainer and the manager and they more persistent than ever. I had to use almost everything mentioned in this thread to convince them that I didn't want training. It was all friendly of course, however they really didn't want me to say "thanks, but no thanks". Now everything is back to normal. Cheers
