Fitness instuctor are sucks

[Coach is Back!]

Here's a little advice....if you have a good following take your clients someplace else where you only pay a flat rate. Were getting ready to open our own gym this summer, but as of now I only pay 500.00 per month and have about 70-80 clients not including strongman camps and regular boot camps.

thanks for the advice

i'm well aware of doing that but, to be honest, my personal training job is really "gas money" for me- it technically is a part time job that i'm keeping my feet in so I'll have something to fall back on and do full time if other things don't work out in my life

Ok, cool.

I know
to be frank though, I'm comfortable with doing enough appointments a week to cover my expenses at the time being

I like to keep just enough hours so i can pursue other things as well

but again, i know if i decide to do 40-50 hours a week (which would take a while to build up) i can make up to six figures

[io856]

over here some gyms charge the PTs straight outta school $350 a week to work on their floor.. they can't pay? well they sue the fuck outta the parents...

oh ain't nothing here
but when i move next year (to vegas most likely) i'll have more options

honestly, I don't even think i'll work as a trainer when i move to the west coast
it's like, why should i put in all that time prospecting clients (and not getting paid) when i could sleep and make enough at night

lol fixed

you don't know how right you are

 Vegas isn't the West Coast.  If you really want to give that acting crap a shot, go to LA.  That way you can at least say you gave it your best shot and move on if it doesn't work out

LA is way expensive so i figure vegas isn't as expensive and 5 hours away so i can always drive to auditions

plus, i can make a KILLING stripping in vegas

We have such a litigious society that no matter how experienced a trainer you are, NO ONe who's not a licensed or degreed nutritionist should be dispensing dietary information.
Stick to training and exercise if that's what you're certification or degree is.
Most people seek dietary information from meso or ectomorphs who can eat what they want and still look good matter what.
Client figures, "He/she look good, I'll ask them what to eat."
Not wanting to learn or be trained by an out of shape trainer has some validity to it but would an NFL receiver built like T.O NOT take coaching or advices from someone from like Bill Parcell because he's a fat slob? An NBA player not take rebounding tips from the now rotund Charles Barkley?

[lax]

bullshit

i get all my clients shredded

though i agree a majority of trainers play that "health" angle way too much

I give all my clients the truth
I sit them down
tell them that they are "too fat" or "too skinny"
i make them give me their diet journals and tell them what to eat
I don't sugar coat a mother fucking thing

so, i agree, that a majority of trainers are too scared to be honest with there clients and too scared to work them hard
I beat the shit out of my clients

johnny
please tell me you don't have 'em use those pathetic beach balls in their routines...

Most of these people have no idea about what they are doing.I am a well travel man and I never met any personal trainer or aerobic instructor who has even basic knowledge about training or nutrition and the funny thing is most of them are pathetically out of shape.
In my gym they made every new client do 1h cardio b4 weight training.i mean where they read all this stupid stuff.
They are playing with people health and they even dont know it.
 

thread has potential.

this is serious matter and lots of people are getting hurt because of these certified trainers.They are making people less egar to train bad for business.
98% Clint's in every gym are regular individuals who just trying to beat the age factor.Now how the hell u can make some one look younger if u put him on freaking 1000 calories diet with almost 10% protein intake and on the top of that make him do 1h cardio before weight training.
poor Clint's think they are loosing weight while all they loosing is muscles the main ingredient of youth.

1.  How do you know that lots of people are getting hurt by certified trainers?  How many and what is the source for your assertion of these stats.

2.  Why do you think trainers have ALL clients on the same diet and training regimine?

3.  Where do you get 98%?  Is that a published stat somewhere?
