'The Breakup': The correct answer is 'chain saw' — not 'personal trainer'
The first time I saw the commercial above I didn't really pay attention to what was being offered on the "Minority Report"-style screen.
Then, as it came on again and again I even turned the sound on one time to hear what the weasel was saying to his astonished soon-to-be ex-girlfriend while some bimbo paraded around in her scanties behind him, and I read the series of choices offered to remedy her situation, to wit: "couples therapy, chain saw, lingerie, pawn shop, little black dress, personal trainer" — and then watched in disbelief as she nodded at that last one.
She's supposed to get a personal trainer and get even hotter than she already is so as to keep that loser?
"Chain saw" is the only possible choice.
Give me a break.
I'd love to know whether it was a man or a woman who was responsible for this commercial.

Yeah, I'm with Randee above, that pause and wry smile is a clear implication that she's going to sign up to get a proper 'workout'...

I've only had one girlfriend ever cheat on me, but I pretty much did the same thing...I got myself a personal trainer...well...and went back to school...and bought a house.
I did everything that she said I'd never do and exceeded her expectations. I would have eventually gotten there, but I had a pesky relationship I had to deal with, with someone who demanded all of my time.
She saw me a year later and tried in vain to get me back, but I was too busy with my new life to find time for her. I forgave her for cheating on me, but I honestly just don't need that sort of negativity into my life. At the same time, I thank her for giving me the push to do what I needed.

I get the feeling shes looking for a personal trainer to reciprocate what her ex has been doing with his scantily clad acquaintance.

Maybe she's signing up with the personal trainer so she can go and kick his ass after she's bulked up a bit.
If not, I'm with you.

It's possible to repair a marriage after adultery, but it's very difficult, and it takes a lot of help.
I knew a couple, the husband got "unhappy" and got "in over his head" and ended up having a kid by another woman. He ended up divorcing his wife and marrying the other chick. The wife he left was loving and forgiving throughout, prayed for him. However, I was kept way out of the loop for all this because when I found out, after it was abundantly plain he would not listen to reason and he was not going to turn around, I was more inclined to verbally kick his tail and tell him what a jackass scuzzbag he was, then to be kind and forgiving like she wanted. Happy ending though- after a couple years had elapsed though, she is getting married to a real prince of a guy, very honorable man.

Yes, "chain saw" is the only possible choice as presented, but the correct answer is total indifference. Nothing wreaks vengeance like total indifference. Tricky, though, because it has to be the real thing -- feigned indifference almost always backfires, as it reveals the true depth of non-indifference, i.e., anger. It's really hard to get shed of that; really riveting distractions are good.
For her I would recommend embalming school.
