WHY is it that trainers are fatter and more out of shape then the clients they are training?!

it makes no sense. if i was to shop for a trainer - i would never be attracted to a man OR woman trainer that looked like the couch and snickers were their close buds.

just a rant.

I love the gym but sometimes its retarded.

A trainer provides guidance and knowledge not a good body.
Though a proper appearance can enhance the financial drama.

Why would a corporatized "gym" trainer get in shape for $8/hr? Gym chains hire anyone with a weekend trainer certification.

That's like saying I want to take a Tae Kwan Do class from somebody who is an expert on it, but doesn't know how to do any of it.

Or take flying lessons from somebody who knows aeronautics but who has never been a pilot.

Or have someone cook a gourmet meal for me who has read every cookbook in the world but never cooked.

It's just damn dumb and makes me really pissed.

Don't these people want to at least TRY to look the part?

Well I was more thinking along the lines of an old coach like in boxing, etc. was on the wrong train of thought.
But imagine being trained by someone who looks really outstanding, but nearly all of his/her appearance is based on fantastic genetics.
e.g. A guy with a monumental chest that has you do flyes 7 days a week

Would you let the best heart surgeon in the world operate on you if he was fat and had clogged arteries?

Agreed.

In my gym, the overweight trainers always find a way to interject some alleged injury they had, into the first 2 minutes of conversation with a prospective client. He used to be 220 with abs and could bench in the 400s, but then he hurt his back and had to take some time off, but will be regaining his previously held level shortly. The obese potential client completes the lie circle by spontaneously creating his own tales of past sports performance and stellar dimensions, coupled with an unprovable yet heroic injury (I hurt my "leg" rescuing someone from a fire).

Both impressed with their own storytelling ability and faith in achievable future grandeur, they'll high-five and begin some fruitless training together - for just enough time to keep the hapless trainer employed - and just enough training to leave the trainee sore and feeling deserved of an extra serving at dinner.

Did I tell you about how I scored 4 touchdowns in one quarter for Polk High?

It's called Permabulking, you guys must be new around here...

Really almost anybody of any shape can claim to be a "trainer" and the majority of the out-of-shape, naive, and dumb population would look to them for training advice.

Trainers should be judged on the success of their clientele, not whether ‘lil gym fluffer’ would do them.

My most successful client is a man named Scott Alexander, perhaps you have heard of him.

Mike Quinn once measured his bodyfat at 0.0%.

fat personal trainer - wow 3 posts..... is your life that boring today you decided to sign up on the getbig forums to flex the size of your balls making a funny about me? well done, here's a cookie.

condor - do you work at my gym?

Chuck Norris cancelled so I had some free time.

I wasn't making fun of you. You are doing fine on your own.

You are very intimidating with your 49 posts and all that experience.

I'll just stick to cage fighting. It's not as scary, and there's more hugging.
