I seen this personal trainer at my gym
showing this 50-60 year old lady in my
gym doing bent over rows!
Now, if she actually had enough
weight on that bar, she would have
broken her back.
I have seen experienced or intermediate
bodybuilders use bad form.
who the heck would show a beginner,
a woman at that such a complicated
exercies.
He then after that had her doing.
squats on a see-saw board.
I couldn't believe my eyes,

if you need a "personal" trainer to start , you're never going ot achieve anything on your own in the physical department.

weakest comeback ever "huge" guy ...

In hindsight I wished I hired a personal trainer when I started lifting, I was doing alot of things wrong and nobody was really there to guide me.
So really if you're a beginner I would recommend a personal trainer just to show you the fundamentals of weight training and nutrition, as bodybuilding enthusiatics know knowledge about what you're doing is priceless and overall saves alot of time and money.

This one black personal trainer in my gym has old ladies and fatties of all sorts doing crunches. Dude grins like mad and tells them, "I'ma get yo stomach flat."
When he comes around to do his own workout in the evening, he makes jokes to everyone about how his clients will look the same 3 months later. Normally I hate personal trainers, but atleast this dude is honest.

a GOOD personal trainer, yes, but how many of these so called personal trainers with fake certifications are worth paying them to listen to their bullshits, or even in shape ?
Any good friend who's knowledgeable could help you also, why PAY ? It's just beyond me.. there are millions of people looking better than 99% of personal trainers ...
Another thing, why can't you simply find the needed informations by yourself, it's free?
Nobody knows your body and how it works better than you, and nobody can do what you've got to do for yourself.

I thought that by the way you talk to everyone on here , saying things like "little twink" in every sentence to everyone, you would be a huge ripped 300 pounds monster;
but don't worry there's no doubt in my mind you're a skinny/fat loser who needs to waste his money on a PT cause you're just too fucking dumb to do it by yourself , hence your reaction to my post, but it's ok, losers need even bigger losers like you to make a living.

The worst are those asinine exercise balls...can't wait till that phase passes

My point was that this lady was certainly doing the rows wrong.
She would have been better reading shape mag.

or buy a wii fiit crap.

BINGO! My thoughts exactly. Those balls and the ropes, etc are ok if you are in Phys therapy rehab or if you need help with stablizers , for lateral movements in sports like tennis, b-ball or football, etc.
BUT, most want to tone up and get leaner, not try out for the NBA or NFL.
I give out tips when asked and don't mind showing some newbie how to use a machine, etc and I don't charge a dime.
A personal trainer is a good idea if they act like a personal coach and have your actual needs and concerns at the core of your fitness regime.

Well, then it really wasn't the exercise that was worthless, right?
It was the worthless PT who didn't use common sense!
I think when it comes to "worthless exercies", nobody beats NASM!!! All these 24 hour fitness trainers talking about CORE this and STABALIZE that?! Please!
I've seen a trainer have a women (who's trying to lose weight, mind you) doing a one arm cable row, while curling a dumbell in her other arm, with one leg back on an exercise ball.................... ...WHAT THE?!?!?! ::)

How some of these guys get their Certificates is
beyond me.

WE had one at my gym have this older, heavy , guy ; doing lunges,WALKING UP THE STAIRS!!! with a fixed wt barbell on his back ( about 50 lbs ) . He was walking behind the guy as if to spot him and the guy was all wobbly.
Had the guy fell back he would have caused the trainer and him to just tumble down with barbell clanking.
I quietly took the gym manager aside and told him about this lawsuit waiting to happen.
He actually ran in, and pulled the trainer aside and made him have the guy do the lunges on the floor.
The trainer was pissed, but I think he realized he dodged a bullet.

a woman that is a "PT " here at my local gym, not certified got hired becuase shes hot....
She had an 80 year old woman (looks like it) with a hunch back doing 25lb dumbbell side bends (one on dumbbell in each hand) then had her doing decline situps. I thought she was going to break!

She can't be insured...once she 'harms' someone...kiss that gym goodbye.

You can get insurance w/ out being certified. It just costs more. K and K insurance does it as does a few other big companies.
This thread is so done. Obviously there's a bunch of morons/losers/ego maniac/douchebag/know nothing trainers just as there are plenty of incompetents at any other profession. How many bad cooks work at restaurants? It's a matter of sifting through the useless ones and finding the good ones. Just like anything else.
Otherwise you could start a thread called getbiggers and their useless threads. Does it apply to a lot? Sure does. Does it apply to all? No chance.
-
Obviously you think you know more about training. Not saying by anymeans there a3e not incompetent trainers, but let's not make that a blanket statement. I would be willing to bet that 90% of the people on here who critisize trainers can't put a program together to save their lives but think they can!!

define "bad form" ...

Re insurance...that may be true....but believe me....if someone gets hurt under her watch and she is not certified....opposing counsel will have a field day and...depending on the extent of the loss....insurance will not be adequate and potential loss of gym or other assets would be likely....I guess my real impression is -do not hire a friggin trainer because, as the poster had said...she is 'hot'...I am sure Coach will agree here.
-
Yes, I do agree. One of the best and most reputable strength trainers in the country looks like he doesn't even train yet pro athletes and olympians go to him. Its not really how you look, its what you know!

Anyone who'd hire an uncertified, inexperienced, or unknowledgeable trainer is asking for trouble. I own a gym and have been a trainer for almost 15 years. I have an NBA player 2 bodybuilders, 2 footballers and a 12 year old figure skater hopefully headed to the olympics. I also train a handful of housewives, business pros, physical rehab clients such as 2 guys with complete shoulder replacements, knee injuries, etc etc. Nobody would work in my gym without a very in depth knowledge of nutrition, anatomy, corrective flexibility and the insight to see a potential problem and the ability to correct it. On top of that a prospective trainer would have to be damn cool. I operate a positive energy gym meaning no corporate shitheads or shitheads from any other circle. My policy for clients as well as staff is check your cell phone, your libido, your religion and your politics at the door. Come on in and be nice.
Other gyms can do what they please. It's their gym so who am I to say anything. There's an abundance of incompetence in this field as there is in all fields from the guys that make executive decisions for companies to the guys that collect trash on the streets from in front of our homes. Blanket statements are for angry people without imagination and the ability to recognize others' achievements and contributions.

perhaps a song?
