This ^^^^Keep us updated. Hope everything get's sorted.
Why so? He found something unexpected, and referred it to someone qualified. The GP requiring tests suggests it was the right decision. Sure the measured HR was almost certainly not resting, but all the same, best to be cautious.That gym instructor needs a talking to.
No he didn't. The HR taken was NOT resting but was taken after the OP had made it to the gym for the induction.Why so? He found something unexpected, and referred it to someone qualified.

Anyway best wishes, hope it's nothing.
You've done the right thing seeing the doc.
I thought this was going to be a "is this normal, should I see the doc" type post.
Don't worry they'll sort it, you'll be back on your bike soon enough.
The elephant in the room.............why were you going to a gym when you own a bike
+1 for white coat syndrome.
With me it was my dad winding me up. He had a blood pressure meter he used to use on himself. Every so often he'd have a go at me and my brother about us being unhealthy. After 1/2 an hour of this he'd get his blood pressure meter out and say. "If you haven't got a problem lets check you then". A further 1/2 hour he'd got us to the point were we were unhealthy. Thus vindicated he'd go on and on until we'd had enough and went to the pub to get away from his bl**dy meter. ........ Until we went round next time.
Hope this is the same with you. How was the guy at the gym? If you HR was going up it could, hopefully, be stress related. What was it at Dr's? And had you cycled there?
How did you get to the gym? Elevated HR would be expected if you'd walked from the car, up some stairs, perhaps pushed a few heavy doors open...
Gym instructor should be sacked for being an idiot, yet a thorough idiot! One X on a PARQ = doctor visit
i am a Sprinter i like to do it fast, i guess thats my problem :/a 'normal' resting range is 60-90, CV fitter bods often less than 60.
I guess it depends a bit on how you cycle - sporty & for fitness or to get there whenever without a bead of sweat on your back and what other lifestyle factors come into play - food, booze etc.
Fingers crossed that it is a bug or a blip or aversion to having your pulse taken & that the Docs is a precaution only.
