“Normally I’d ignore something this out-of-pocket, but this is business and I take that seriously. I’ve seen the rumors circulating and I want to address them directly…..They are false,” he wrote.
From there, Gaines explained that his “training space” has been a “safe” and “platonic” space for women.
“While I understand that social media can create narratives, let me be clear…. I am not in the business of mixing professional coaching with anything personal or sexual. That is not what I stand for, and it is not what my brand represents,” he continued in part, adding that he keeps “boundaries” and “integrity” within his fitness training career.
