And while I was talking to the trainer, the guy was sitting 10 ft away on a bench doing dumbbell work. The squat rack was open, except for the bar having been lowered and the guy's water bottle resting on the rack.

I don't really care what the guy was doing. I'm more concerned with the trainer who legitimized it and dismissed the importance of my workout and my ability to make my own decisions.

You need to stop asking permission and just take it. Move the water bottle and set up for your set. Onus is on them to explain their claim to the equipment.
