I injured my ankle being a dumbass, so I haven't been on bb.com much [wasn't in the gym, so being on here was depressing, ha]. But! He removed all the advertising and half-assed apologized. But not really? He just answered me in short 1-2 word answers, acted annoyed with me like I did something wrong, and then said "Safe to say this conversation is done?" and hung up on me? Jerk. Oh well, it's over. Back to the...

You should be so proud that he is trying to use you as a...

Wow, that's horrible. I would feel violated and outraged if I were you. I've seen personal trainers a couple of times in the past, when my mom wanted me to start training (and paid), and if I ever found out that they were using my name or image to promote their business, I would be so angry.
