Joe Barnes, Fitness Instructor Asking Former Clients' Out on Dates Penrith N.S.W.

Joe Barnes use to be a personal trainer at Fitness First Penrith before it got closed. I use to be one of his client's and recommended one of my female work colleagues to try him out, as he was offering a discount if you purchased multiple sessions at that time. My friend Renee purchased 5 personal training sessions with Joe, and after finishing her 5th and last session, she decided not to purchase anymore as Joe wasn't the trainer for her. Two weeks after afterwards Joe starts messaging her asking her to come back to the gym, she politely declined, but not long later he started asking her out on dates. This was persistent for the next month, and he just wouldn't take "No" for an answer, it wasn't until she showed the messages to the police and informed him of such did Joe stop. However, not being able to handle the assault on the ego, Joe then started rumors that my friend Renee was a who're and he'd slept with her and dumped her. Currently Joe is working as a freelance personal trainer offering group personal training sessions in Jordan Springs not far away from Penrith. I'm writing this report because I've also heard of similar stories from other women about Joe Barnes. This is a warning to women to think twice before being one of his clients.
