Problem Client

[tonymcclellan]

Hypothetical situation:

You have a rotten egg client in your outdoor bootcamp setting. You remove such client, returning their money. They then proceed to continue to show up because its outdoor. How do you handle this?

OK seriously, more details.

Where are you?

Is this person deliberately being disruptive?

[Jean-Paul]

As long as he's not disrupting your class I don't see that you can do anything. Maybe move your camp to a new and undisclosed location. If he's harrassing you or class members then lean on him a little (if you know what I mean).

Man some people have balls! I like Matts first suggestion, it gives your camp a more military feel

I have a question, is this person lined up in the bootcamp or is he doing the exercises from 50 yards away? If hes lined up, you could call the police and say hes disrupting your camp and put some sort of restraining order.

Easiest thing would be to find another location and just keep it secret.

Actually I DID have to deal with this for a early morning bootcamp I was running once.

Now technically if running a bootcamp you should have to sign permission with the facility, park, school, whatever you are doing it with. You also have to be covered or again SHOULD be covered under insurance to cover if someone gets hurt.

If you cover these bases then for that period of time of your training the "public" area now becomes private. You can even stipulate this in a renting contract with the park or facility you are working with.

I stipulated in my contract that for x amount of time during the day I maintain full right and usage of an area of 1000 feet for training and am insured for such. That area become my private property.

If you explain this to the person and they still try to hang around within that area then you are within right to call the police. Now they can hang 1000 feet or whatever you rent outside of your area but at least they wont be disrupting your camp.

Hope that helps.

Stalking laws may also apply.
