That may be your truth as well as a lot of other people's,  but as a trainer of 15 years and a gym owner, I'll say you're way off base as far as making the all ecompassing sweeping statement. I work with a lot of pro athletes, (mostly basketball and tennis), a lot of physical therapy, young athletes, housewives (not milfs), a few milfs, 1 lesbian, and a lot of business professionals who are no where near gay. Bitterness is a sign of failure. Lighten up a bit on the industry you failed in and you may succeed in your next venture.

i'm not bitter and I actually respect your comments as they are those of a true fitness professional

...but, i'm telling you (much like "BEEFYHEAVYWEIGHT" tells of the nasty underside of BB'ing) that their is a underside to Personal training that people should know about

again, you are a true professional

guess what...I'm not....I'm some punk kid who was lucky enough to pass his **** exam (certifying body blanked out to protect them but it has four initials so you can take a couple of guess which one it is), keep up his CEC's and basically makes his clients superset all their movements with some sort of burpee variation which sends there heartrate to fucking moon

EDIT: PS- FUCK YOU

johhny, how is your iphone? im bout to get one

the people who say the iphone is overrated are JEALOUS
it is THE SHIT and worth any early termination fee
I loved sprint but I wanted a Iphone so bad that i didn't mind paying the early termination fee



Johnny do you the female trainesr you work with ever think about or actualy fuck some gym regulars?


..oh the fantasies.

at my gym, no
but it does happen

You need a course to count reps?

We have one trainer at the gym all the women hate on because she's got a thick, bangin' ass. Other women are always saying she doesn't look fit enough to be a trainer and so on but all the guys can see is that booty. :)

Honestly, how much $ do you make average/month with PT??

In that business, if you don't have a name like a David Kirsch training celebrities and the super-wealthy u end up under the bridge in a few years from now anyway. No future, no retirement arrangement. :)

Personal training is such a wank...

Whatever happened to joining a gym and paying $50 for a personal "program" that you actually follow for 6-8 weeks?

My first gym wouldn't let you get a second "program" until you actually proved that you followed the first one you were given.

Funny thing is people were actually in pretty good shape at that gym! funny that...

i'm gonna get right to it

first, I was working as a personal trainer on and off over the last few years but only persued it Full-time as of January

anyway, I am certified by a very well recognized organization ( i won't name it cuz they don't need their name run through the mud here.....and no! the organization is NOT NAMBLA, you assclowns)

needless to say, i kinda sorta know my shit- actually, I don't remember a fucking thing from my course work and BARELY passed my exam the first time around. But, none the less, I am certified

anyway, here are the truths
feel free to chime in with yours

-Personal trainers do not work in the health business, they don't not work in the fitness business- IT IS A VANITY BUSINESS
please, stop with the ck'ing of blood pressure or finding out what meds a client is on- all clients want one thing- to look like Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie
-All your clients are either cougars/milfs or gay men.  NO STRAIGHT MAN PAYS FOR PERSONAL TRAINING
-All clients want to bang their trainers/ have masturbated to their trainers
-All Clients are attracted to the fact that someone is telling them what to do i.e.  they are the submissive type/have a submission fetish
-the booksmart Trainers don't survive, being a trainer is about being good looking and ,basically, kicking the shit out of your clients- Why? Because paying for a trainer is spending discretionary income and discretionary income is spent towards "luxury items". Why pay for a luxury item that looks like shit?!

there is alot other truths but i'm drawing some blanks at the moment so i will add some here and there as they come up in my head

Oh brother ::)

Pretty spot on. I would add that having a good personality helps. People aren't gonna pay to spend an hour with a drip.

Real athletes who hire trainers are an exception to the rule as there are very few of them compared to middle-aged women who are your real bread and butter.

Never said you were lying, just any extreamly blown out of proportion. Treat it like a job and thats all it will ever be, treat it like business and you'll easily make a six figure income.
