BODYBUILDING seminar... ;)

-
What your hourly PT rate?
-
you da man Steve!
you'll go far...not like these other pro BB pussies that cant handle GB.com.
survive here and stay sane and you can survive anything.
-
What your hourly PT rate?
It depends. But here in the Tampa Bay area usually the rates around from $50 to $100 and so per hour... I have seen many guys do personal training here for more than $100 per hour and they have nothing to do with bodybuilding at all. ::)

Yes, because bodybuilding is the most complex of exercise sciences and physiology. ::) To be able to count reps while eating a bowl of ground beef and rice is also a task that only a "bodybuilder" could handle. What are your qualifications, if I may ask?

is owning people on your resume? it appears you have a masters in it----good work

So what you're saying, a person who doesn't know bodybuilding shouldn't charge 100 per hour, did I read that right?

To be a real personal trainer you should talks the talk and walks the walk... But most of the personal trainers just talks the talk...fuck ISSA, NASM and other certifications if I looking at somebody and I don't know that he's a bus driver, a swimmer coach or a bodybuilding personal trainer...
Anyway I had certification back in Hungary too...but here I'm already the proud member of PROPTA maybe the only place where the trainers are really know what they doing.
But anyway I'm training for 10 years now and I'm an IFBB PRO so I know my job.
;)

As a bodybuilding personal trainer?
No.
BTW that's such a good deal for him...

So I guess all you're going to train is bodybuilder?

A. You cant even speak proper fucking English.
B. Are you joking? You are an IFBB pro so you know what you are doing? In regards to that you are a 3rd class pro who will never win a show or compete in the Olympia. I'll lay odds you don't do shit as a trainer and you're wife divorces you inside 3 years for someone with a real job
-

Let's say that an average personal trainer is a paratrooper.
I'm too...but I can jump from rocks, buildings, towers, bridges...from anywhere...you know. And that's a difference I guess.

Again.....so all you're going to train is bodybuilders? I been training for 35 years, I guess I should be charging $1000 per hour.

If you have a pretty good lean physique...yes, maybe. But in this case you should work in a gay night club...

It amazes me how so many people will chime in and say personal training is nothing more than counting reps. In some cases they'd be right, that's all many trainers do and because of them they make the whole profession look like a joke. For a good trainer though there is so much more involved in it than simply counting reps. I'm not standing here sayings it's the most difficult job in the world or anything like that but to be a successful trainer it does actually take a functioning brain.
As for Steve himself, he's a good guy and those that don't know him should lay off because their assumptions are pretty outright ridiculous. Of course this is getbig.com and no matter how good of a person someone is, no matter what success or failures they endure, the tone is always the same and that tone is a resounding chime of a mass of people who are naturally ripped and huge but they'd never consider bodybuilding because they don't have time to spare from counting their millions and laying pipe to every dime piece on the planet, lol! Long live the getbig self-proclaimed god of life that dwells here in massive numbers, lol!
-

I just started the whole thing here in the States.
;)
-
With unemployment the highest it's been in the last thirty years, can't believe this is a good time for personal trainers who provide a non-essential service. Good luck, anyway.

Anyway I can't say enough...I came from Hungary...so for me a "recession" in America is still the land of opportunities...

Just to let you know, being a bodybuilder does not make you automatically a personal trainer and it certainly doesn't make it an automatic $100+ an hour person
-

You missed the point but anyway thank you so much the advice I'll print it and put it on the wall in front of my bed to see it every time I wake up.

Yes, BB is not rocket science, and if you add the right amount of steroids, it's really ridiculous to spend money on a PT.
I think his clients are rather schmoes or old ladies than people that want to train.
Edit: Steve just wants to make some money in the daytime as well.

Are you saying you finally figured out that you spend a lot of money on stuff you already knew with Milos and now you want to find some idiot that you can play the same trick on?
Nice try.

Stupid to waste your money like this.
You can get training advice for free on the internet, or buy a book. Then you can spend 100$$ on someone making your personal diet plan and you're set. The only thing left is motivation. If you need someone pushing you, a training partner will do.
When you train 5 times with a PT, you have spend 500$$ and achieved nothing.

the money I spent training with Ron Love were a waste right ?
I learned more in 10 workouts with him than in the previous 10 years, not to mention the diet advice or drug advice

So you are saying you were an idiot for ten years?
Tell me, what were the amazing new things you learned? Not to eat soup when you bulk, or that 2-week-cycles of 200mg Dianabol are bullshit?

Who said i only take internet advice? I do train with a trainer, but i don't pay him. He works at the gym and helps people, it's his job.
And btw, "oh brother", how about answering my questions??
What amazing things did you learn?? How to adjust the bench for benchpressing right? How to slip T3 to your fat girlfriend to make her smaller?

epic evading to tell us your "special knowledge" you got from your PT.
I can see that someone can have a good time training with a PT, if the PT is good at what he does, or even more if the PT is someone you admire or look up to, but in the end bodybuilding is about lifting weights and eating right, and NO Pt in the world can change that.
If you're not a complete noob, there's nothing a PT can teach you that you couldn't learn otherwise. Maybe your form when lifting, but that's it.
You actually prove this by not being able to tell me what it was exactly that you didn't learn in ten years that some PT told you.

lol
you stupid fuck
the "PT" you refer to placed in top 10 at the Olympia and the "PT" in this thread is one of the top 202's in the world
these are no regular PT's but some of the best in the world at their sport
you are like a dumbfuck who loves tennis and want's to learn but won't pay Andy Roddick for a lesson cause you think you can do it yourself
you are sad my german chinease lova

from Ron Love I learned how to train real hard while using preexhaustion to help balance all bodyparts ..how to stay symetric
how to train PROPERLY and stimulate growth at the highest possibl rate
how to diet for a show
how to eat during off season
how to recover better
how to use drugs to get the desired outcome
what you call building your body and what I call bodybuilding are 2 diff things my"friend"
and we can easily illustrate this by posting pics for comparison ( when I was clean at 180 lbs )
3 paragraph dodging the challenge in 3..........2..1

you are a competitor ?
to be a good or decent bodybuilder you need to be vain and have an ego
you do it to show off
we all do
if you would have a half decent body your pics would be all over the board ... there are no anonnymous posters with good bodies on getbig period
all shittalkers outed so far are twinks
you too ;)

Steve, hopefully being in the US will give you more exposure and maybe you won't get robbed as much. I'm no expert but I thought you had Dave Henry beat. You seem to have ideal proportions with no glaring weak spots.
-
To be a real personal trainer you should talks the talk and walks the walk... But most of the personal trainers just talks the talk...fuck ISSA, NASM and other certifications if I looking at somebody and I don't know that he's a bus driver, a swimmer coach or a bodybuilding personal trainer...
Anyway I had certification back in Hungary too...but here I'm already the proud member of PROPTA maybe the only place where the trainers are really know what they doing.
But anyway I'm training for 10 years now and I'm an IFBB PRO so I know my job.
;)
Steve, you are a complete idiot if you believe that the PROPTA has any standing whatsoever as it is not a certification recognized by any accrediting body. In addition, being an IFBB pro does not entitle any special considerations or qualifications.
Fact is that you need some real sheepskin, PT insurance, first aid and CPR card, and some real world training. The ISSA and the NASM are nationally recognized and while you may diss them, it would allow you to go much further in personal training than without them. The ISSA has a 2 day workshop in personal training in many locations so I would recommend attending one and getting some real credit
Best of luck to you Steve but you are really talking out your ass if you think the ISSA and the NASM doesn't mean spit

good point Vince
basically if you just master any ACSM (american college of sports medicine) test you can get a ACE or ISSA cert but shit I totally know what Steve is saying cause I have a four year exercise phsy degree and a CSCS cert and everyone I train could give a shit less
with the clients that are consistent and have a lot of cash its all about WHO they train with HOW they look and HOW much YOUR CLIENT feels/thinks they get from a workout
basically they see pics of you in magazines and ripped up they'll pay to train with you cause you obviously know your shit IN THE GENERAL PUBLICS mind......but someone walks into your basement/office and sees the CSN MF'r cert on the wall and you talk all this shit about beet juice they could give a shit
it all about what applies in the REAL WORLD -- STEVE is a guy with muscles/mag ads/pro card = hella cash clients in Tampa

I was certified by the Amercian Muscle & Fitness Institute in 2002, have PT insurance, & maintain my current first aid and cpr certification. I'm also an ISSA member and I'm about to complete my diploma in Fitness & Exercise from Ashworth University which is recognized by the Department of Education.
Most importantly, I've been training for years so I know what potential customer look for and I have a well established clientele. I make my living off of personal training so I'm certainly doing something right. I don't have a B.S in Health because I went to college to for Engineering and I switched careers not too long ago. But I'm also working on that as well.
Steve needs to realize that being an IFBB pro doesn't mean he's going to be a great personal trainer. He needs to check his attitude at the door and listen to folks who are in the business

I make my living off of personal training so I'm certainly doing something right. I don't have a B.S in Health because I went to college to for Engineering and I switched careers not too long ago. But I'm also working on that as well.
Steve needs to realize that being an IFBB pro doesn't mean he's going to be a great personal trainer. He needs to check his attitude at the door and listen to folks who are in the business
nobody could give two shits about a diploma
why do you make efforts to basically end up at the same spot or worse... its like you are programmed for failure and mediocrity...?
-
from Ron Love I learned how to train real hard while using preexhaustion to help balance all bodyparts ..how to stay symetric
how to train PROPERLY and stimulate growth at the highest possibl rate
how to diet for a show
how to eat during off season
how to recover better
how to use drugs to get the desired outcome
what you call building your body and what I call bodybuilding are 2 diff things my"friend"
and we can easily illustrate this by posting pics for comparison ( when I was clean at 180 lbs )
3 paragraph dodging the challenge in 3..........2..1
I realize you probably paid big money to Ron Love to get this very valuable info, but would be great if you could share some of it. Love was a great bber in his day.

I like steve and I like you too vince - but all shit aside if some hot ass rich chick came in a gym in tampa fresh out the tanning bed with her thong up in her ass, who would she pick to train with and bullshit everyday, get to push her and motivate her to look better (not tryin to be a dick bro)
i like you aaalot
Maybe, but the vast majority of people looking for personal trainers are not hot ass rich chicks. In all, I don't have time or even care what someone else is doing. I do my thing and pay the bills. ....
Steve will have to learn how to train a wide range of people from children, to rehab patients, to elderly folks, etc. All of his muscles and his IFBB pro card won't give him squat.
-

There's only two things you can get in personal training...a certificate or a diploma. There is no Associate's or Bachelor's degree in personal training..... ::)
-
:D :D :D
you are a competitor ?
to be a good or decent bodybuilder you need to be vain and have an ego
you do it to show off
we all do
if you would have a half decent body your pics would be all over the board ... there are no anonnymous posters with good bodies on getbig period
all shittalkers outed so far are twinks
you too ;)
Being vain is one thing, being a stupid attention whore that cannot stand training longer than 3 weeks and without steroids is the other thing.

i didn't bother reading this thread at all but i can tell where it has gone in the last four pages
please correct me if i'm wrong
-the midget attention whore Steve starts a thread about him, that nobody care about, and post pics of himself
-none of the posters on here kiss his ass (unlike what would happen on Mayhem)
-Sevatase defends his hero
-Spike lays down the truth about the fitness industry because he has a legitimate degree that pwns any PT cert out there (including mine)
-
btw, could someone explain why Steve posted pics of himself when he was 12 (in his underwear) on a forum with a bunch of grown ass men?
-
Thanks for the great thread Steve Namat!
Pro tip: nobody here gives two fucks if you're available for personal training.
-
steve you'll do just fine, just being an ifbb pro will get u a good amt of business.......
but keep this in mind, dont get fat in the offseason, thats the biggest misake i think personal training bb'ers make........ur already a big guy, so that limits your clientele........but if u get too big in the offseason that'll make alot of clients shy away.
try to go the stan mcquay route and keep size on, but stay lean and dont get too big, try to look as normal as u can in clothes, because the only ppl who like freaks are the types of schmoes who'd be more likely to pay for u to wrestle them in a thong and covered in oil in a motel 6 than pay u for a personal training session.

bro, you probably were never clean...classic...i love when these shitheads talk about being clean...admit the drug use and you won't be ridiculed...wtf does clean mean to you? rubbing an alcohol prep pad over the injection site?

The best personal trainers are one's who have built reputations for being able to get results.
They will also have waiting lists... (meaning they only work as much as they want to)
They know how to keep clients if they need to
They also know how to avoid (or get rid of) clients if necessary
If it took them ISSA, ACE, ACSM (whateva) certs and a CPR and an AED card to get to that point, so be it.
Personal training is nothing more than a job. It can suck just as much or more than any other job.
If you really want to make money, become a registered dietician and start working with the clinically/morbidly obese. Great money, paid by insurance companies.... but who can handle it?
Some of you fags would probably look forward to 300 lbs of chewed bubblegum everyday.

to add to this, i'm gonna write the following CAPS because it is that important
PT IS ALL ABOUT SELLING AND PROSPECTING.
EDIT: and to add to dyslexic's point-it can suck as much as any other job. However, at my current location, the place is very loose and the head personal trainer is the man so when you're not training clients, you're basically busting balls and telling filthy jokes
-

Agreed....At 19 I was making more money than fellow PT's that have been at it for more than 20 years and it was pissing them off. Really the only thing that I was doing different than them was I would go out socializing/prospecting to clubs and events to where I knew I would pick up clients.

that is something many male trainers (straight or gay) have to get over
they have to prospect people who will PAY not the people they want to fuck

Absolutely. With that said, most of my clients consisted of bored, wealthy house wives that had to much time on their hands and liked spending their husband's money. Although, I have trained a few guys for the combine and triple A ball. Those are the one's I am most proud of.

Yes, but the ideal client is someone who will pay AND you can fuck.
-
Yes, but the ideal client is someone who will pay AND you can fuck.
And usually that is a lawsuit waiting to happen. I watched a great PT go down and have everything taken from him for hitting on one of his clients.
-

I used to think it was Hollywood bullshit. You are literally a whore cuz the ones you sleep with will still continue to be your clients and not look to take it to "the next step"

I'm sure that's how it is, now. When I was a trainer, twenty years ago, it was the wild wild west. No one had a certification or insurance. If you had a good physique and a personality, you could make money. EVERYONE was banging their clients.

Not anymore, now its a professional career that requires proper training and study. Being in shape isn't good enough anymore
-
Being in shape isn't good enough anymore
or in your case..a requirement

Steve, hopefully being in the US will give you more exposure and maybe you won't get robbed as much. I'm no expert but I thought you had Dave Henry beat. You seem to have ideal proportions with no glaring weak spots.
Thank you!
I hope that I'll able to compete next year again...of course at first I need to start everything again from the beginning here in the States.
And if I'll compete next year I'll try again a few shows in July-August.
I hope that I'll be even better one week out (on the pics) and I won't be ill or won't have any last minute problems.

you can only train a muscle so many ways... you can only get so shredded... at the end of the day its the way it all looks... the way it all looks was determined the moment you were born... and thats what the judges see and judge accordingly...
-
It depends. But here in the Tampa Bay area usually the rates around from $50 to $100 and so per hour... I have seen many guys do personal training here for more than $100 per hour and they have nothing to do with bodybuilding at all. ::)
all you know is how to shoot steroids , how to lift free weights and use machines with some "nutritional advices" thrown here and there...
please.

As an amateur: genetics-work-money-mental things

Nice try.
boom hahahahahahaha :D

The only difference between a natural's body, say layne norton's one for example, and steve shortnamat's body, is the little funny thing you can see circled in red in the pic below .
This douche will only get gullible clients who will judge him based on his look , fake look that is obtained by steroid use.
Trying to portray himself as a rocket scientist is pathetic. Especially on here, he should have known better considering the time he spent here.
-
boom hahahahahahaha :D
Boom in your ass... ::)
Milos is my friend. He never charge anything from me moreover he helped me a lot. But from an idiot like you he would charge $500 per hour.

dont get angry cause we re exposing you as a douche, dont worry you re not the only one in this business. You re all fake, all drugs, and you re trying to make a living out of it all. It was ok as long as you didnt pretend to know stuff you dont know, stuff people WHO STUDIED know and that you lack.
Portraying yourself or what you do as rocket science is an insult to our intelligence, and as long as you keep believing in your own bullshits it aint going to go anywhere.
Some humility here and there to balance your immaturity would be welcomed by all of us.

spermastase, at best on steroids with the help of your guru you looked almost as good as some of the average naturals who ve been training consistantly for years. Guys like an123 etc there: http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?topic=54122.0

Talk about immature failures defending each others.

I love Donkey Kong
I have never ever bumped into a more miserable failure of a character EVER in my life
imagine being a new daddy and you spend half of your day throwing insults and being negative while your former chinese prostitute turned scientist with 13 university degrees unimaginable good looks wife tends to the new born
Steve here's me as Donky Kong on an auto forum :
" Hi I'm Michael shumacher and I just moved to the states . If you are interested I give driving lessons for those passionate about racing and / or driving at 100 $ an hour "
Donkey Kong :
" AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA .... fucking loser . Who is THAT stoopid to pay money so that a turd such as yourself can teach them how to drive ? "
" I taught myself how to drive from the internets and I'm a fucking competitor for all you know is just my policy not to show you pics, vids or tell you where I have competed "
" You are a loser who should go back to Germany "
Schumacher : " Do you drive fuxtik ? "
Donkey : " of course I do . I AM good at it too "
( Schumacher then pulls out a ciggie, leans back and shakes his head in amazement )

I realize you probably paid big money to Ron Love to get this very valuable info, but would be great if you could share some of it. Love was a great bber in his day.
I DIDN'T pay big money
for all he is worth he charged me 25 $ per hour and most of the workouts lasted between 20-30 min
we did about 4 workouts a week
at the end we would sit by the bar get a protein shake and I'd ask him a zillion questions and he happily obliged.
very very nice individual, very knowledgeable

so Steve Namat is the biggest loser ever for having to resort to doing personal training to support his bb career instead of working as a translator for a chinese ?
you and him are similar in a way : you said you are a non IFBB competitor
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA ... I'm still laughing
didn't you say you were "natural" ?
but whenever there's a steroid topic you chimme in with advice ?
so you are a nattie that competes in a non IFBB federation but knows about roids
is that why you met with the other bigest liar/failure on getbig Koyomu ?
so this is what you got in common with him lol
-
This is gettin hot. Here's the truth, and as is usually the case, it's somewhere inbetween the arguments of both parties. Being an IFBB pro or extremely well developed is going to get you clients. It will also turn some people off. Whether or not the clients get results and whether or not people just plain like you or not are the biggest determining factors.

In my neck of the woods, Manhattan, Steve would do well in a gym that has a large gay clientele, like David Barton, as opposed to health clubs, like NYSC, where the clients are primarily women, who would find a heavily muscled physique like Steve's "gross."

Good Luck Steve...You will make a great personal trainer for sure...If I'm ever down in Florida, I will look you up and perhaps purchase a chunk of workout sessions with you...You see I'm a scratch golfer(primed to make the big bucks) with a 4 handicap and would love nothing more then to bring it down a few strokes...With your personal training back round i'm sure this would not be a problem for you...I look forward to the future and you making me a better golfer...
Thanks in advance

Id pay Steve
for cam to cam to train me , shit it's not just training its all the other secrets and info he can pass along to you.
He is an ifbb pro but one that is also smart.Now someone like Dexter I wouldnt give a dime to , its just how they present themselves.

This is how I think Steve would be to , very helpful and not walk away once your session ends but if time permitted he would help you all he could.
Steve is a good guy.

I know trainers with a great educations and CSCS's that couldn't potty train a child let alone someone for fitness or athletics but are great at marketing themselves. Bottom line is, a great education in fitness doesn't mean shit without real world experience. Quit equating the two Vince.

I don't have any problems with my PT business or selling training packages monthly. The only thing bigger is the equipment business. This is proof that an ISSA cert or any nationally certified acredited PT course is worth its money

Chuckle. Namat is a fool for going and saying f@## ISSA and NASM. Fact is that credentials matter and his IFBB pro card won't get him one client.
He needs to go and take a real course. The ProPTA gives certifications out to any IFBB pro so he basically has no education whatsoever in training people. If he gets his head out of his ass and does a recognized course, he'll do a lot better

Yea, and its what gyms and clients look for. They go on the internet and do research before hiring a personal trainer. They don't just look at anyone in shape or a piece of eye candy.
If you don't have the proper certifications or diplomas then you're going to have a hard time convincing people that you are competent to train them or they are simply going to ignore you. I've been doing this for many years so I know the ups and downs of the business
Namat thinks that all he has to do is pull out his IFBB pro card and flex his arms and he'll have clients running from everywhere. Doesn't work that way.. ::)

Steve wants to give the impression that he's making six figures and living the dream and working as a personal trainer but the fact is that he cleans out people's houses for a living, has no company sponsoring him, and his status at Powerhouse is an independent trainer which basically doesn't mean squat
I hate it when pro bodybuilders lie about what they have and what they do for a living. No different than Flex Wheeler.

Are you calling me a liar Steve??? Did you not think that someone like me would actually take the time and look up your employment record?? You clean houses don't you????? Do I have the wrong person?? Is it mistaken identity????
You throw trash at me pal and I'll throw a cold splash of reality. Get real and stop lying about your lifestyle. You're a maid and if you want to be a successful personal trainer, then you may want to take the advice from one that is.

If your not making 6 figures for as long as you've been doing this Vince then it sounds like YOUR the one doing something wrong. $6k is $72k per year. And if your still selling training packages that usually means your chasing money from month to month. I quit doing that LONG ago. I know exactly what my companies income is each month and I don't have to chase or ask people if they are going to by more at sessions hen the are done. I'm not in business to collect money. Even in a recession we still manage to sign 3-5 people each week.

Of all the sports out there (and, yes, I count Bodybuilding as a sport), bodybuilding is the most subjective ...and fickle. Even when you come in better than anyone else, it still depends on what judges considers "better" be it symmetry, shear size, or just better looking (asthetic). It is a tough sport to be sure. Personally, I think anyone that competes and takes home a trophy is a winner...and more to the point, those that compete and don't take home trophies are not losers, at least not in my book. Good luck Steve in passing on your knowledge of the sport to others. Best wishes in that regard!

MMMmm, I pretty much grew up with bodybuilding since I was 12. I appreciate the work and commitment but it's NOTHING like is was 20-30 years ago. The pros nowadays play a chemical game and put that ahead of training. In all of those years I have never once considered bodybuilders "athletes".

You should also look at Athletic Club in Brandon about 2 miles off I75, ask for Kevin the owner....Ian Harrison (IFBB Pro) used to personal train there.....instead of locking yourself to one gym, look into multiples and freelance...

Why do that? The wasted time driving from one gym to another could be a client trained. He would lose money. Also, to Steve, don't charge by the session.

So what your advice?
-
So what your advice?
I charge a flat rate and sign them to a either a 3 month commitment or a 12 month commitment and have them on recurring charges either by CC (credit card) or ACH (checking account) it forces them to commit to their goals and assures you a steady income. I don't know what you charge, but charge less and have them make that commitment. If they want out, they have to give you 30 days in writing. Pair and triple clients when ever possible.

do you do online training?

Isn't that a little unfair coach?
What happened to the invidualized training that truly allows for the client to feel as if their goals are truly your main focus?
I know a personal trainer who trains various IFBB pros and this guy charges $120 per hour to everyone and has the bad habit of training 4-5 people per session. I used to see him at the gym sending his 4-5 clients around to do various exercises and meeting back with him by the water fountain once they had completed their individual sets. After a few weeks, I saw many of his clients leave him for someone that would offer truly individualized training. The type of training where the trainer is side-by-side with you, motivating you to go on with each and every rep, while pinpointing errors in form and motion.

True, it is a "hustle". I had one personal trainer who I hired for one-on-one training but when it came time for the session, he introduced two other people he was training - didn't ask if it was okay - was just very matter-of-fact about it. That was the last time I hired him.

The moral aspect is a huge issue. If someone is paying you over $100 per session and you divide their time between 4-5 clients, you better bet your ass he/she will find themself another trainer.

Not at all, in fact it's just the opposite. We have a specific training system, we don't randomly train people on the fly so to speak with the expectation that it will work, we train people that we know will work. Training in groups of 2-3 not only gives them better training because they are constantly moving but training with others helps motivate one another in a team like setting....they push one another and when you push the results are that much more. If I have a group of 3 and another trainer has a group of two or three, the team setting creates a pretty intense atmosphere. Follow me.
Seriously, you guys need to think out side the box a little. I can probably produce a better athlete or even just regular person in a "team" setting than someone who just trains one-on-one. I'm not a cheerleader.

small groups make it fun...sharing the pain. laughing together. social...establishing support, maintaining a certain esprit de corps, keeps clients motivating each other and stablizes the $ stream. forget the one-on-one...it 's not working for Oprah
-
Then he didn't have a clue on how to train people in small groups.
No, the trainer was ripping him off, hoping he would just acquiesce. He paid for a one-on-one training session, not a "small group" session.

As long as the clients know what they're getting into. If the trainer advertises "small group" sessions, then it's not a problem, but, if a client thinks he's getting a one-on-one session and the trainer says, "Oh, by the way, Joey and Dennis will also be training with us, today," the trainer is a con-man and a thief.

If the trainer advertises "small group" sessions, then it's not a problem, but, if a client thinks he's getting a one-on-one session and the trainer says, "Oh, by the way, Joey and Dennis will also be training with us, today," the trainer is a con-man and a thief.
We put it in our agreements "Semi-private" If they want "private" they have to pay a premium. But if you're just talking in a dollar amount we make a lot more.

I think it's actually an exercise equipment. Walking up real stairs and doing the stair master are worlds apart.
These gyms make my gym look like 3rd world crap. Still better than the gym I put together myself and hammered away at for 5 years as a teenager.

There's still have some work with the gym, just opened in mid June...but still looks pretty cool I think. The "green floor" is like fake grass because many other athletes like NFL players are doing their workouts in the gym.

Well...you know when I saw all the genetic freaks (for example at the 1999 Mr. O) then I thought that if once I'll be on the Olympia stage that will be a miracle. Since that I would say if once I'll be in the top10 at the Olympia then I'll be happy when I'll retire...and then Branch placed 2nd... And I think one day I could be better than him...
So I don't know, but I don't care...time (and fortune) will tell.

It's amazing the gimmicks people will pay for. There's a gym a friend of mine has in the Tampa Bay area that's about a 1/10 of the size and a shithole but you would get a 10x's better workout.

I charge a flat rate and sign them to a either a 3 month commitment or a 12 month commitment and have them on recurring charges either by CC (credit card) or ACH (checking account) it forces them to commit to their goals and assures you a steady income. I don't know what you charge, but charge less and have them make that commitment. If they want out, they have to give you 30 days in writing. Pair and triple clients when ever possible.
Translation = once I get their credit card i bang it every three months until they realize they are still being charged, and make me stop.

Weight training is not that hard to figure out.

Hey dude, just trying to figure out with all of the people who talk shit and criticize why I'm the only one so far who is willing to back up what I say, then when called out, everyone backs down.
-
I Overstand
Of course you do!

You have a habit of moving the goalposts of the argument. No one is saying you're not a competent trainer.
Groink was making fair criticism of the hard-sell tactics that have become common among gyms, martial arts schools and trainers, like pressuring clients into a long-term, hard-to-break agreement, then tapping into their credit cards or checking accounts.
I'd bet you wouldn't be so quick to let someone into YOUR accounts.
-
They have their choice of check, e-check, CC, recurring or cash. What ever they decide, its on a monthly committment. That's one way on how we weed out the flakes from the people that actually want to make progress. We don't force anyone into anything and we sure as hell don't take anyone who walks through the door.

And you seem to have a nice gyno... ;D As an personal trainer, will you teach people how to use training related drugs in proper manner, or are you bullshitting that your muscles are natural, made without any drugs?

exactly
you are the fitness professional therefore YOU make the program
the client (for the most part) isn't any the wiser- their job is to stfu, listen and train
you (the PT) is the boss always

Did I also mention its a minimum 7500.00 pay day for me? Keep talking Jr.
