Everytime I see a clown "trainer" at my gym I notice that his/her clients look exactly the same or worse as they did the year before.

Have any of you actually had a PT solicit you in the gym for business?  I never have....

Not in the gym....but you can always tell when a new crop has been hired....it was pretty comical for 2yrs when I was at Mountain Side Fitness in AZ.  I would get calls every 5 - 6 mos. asking me if I was happy with my fitness goals....and if I was ready for the ______ (summer/winter/holidays/etc).  I would always ask their name, find out when they were working...introduce myself.....and say "please take me off your list to ever call again"

Then I would take my workout clothes off, hit some poses.....end with a most muscular in his/her face....and as I was dressing I would say "BOOM!...in yo' face" - (no homo)

Oh try miller lite lime, its yum...LMAO at the rest of your post

High Life is a $1.50 a 12-pack cheaper right now......

[Vince G, CSN MFT]

So are they still gonna consider Goodrums application?  

After this year, I'm discontinuing personal training services.  May do group training but that's about it.  I'm going to spend more time running my fitness websites.


As far as Planet Fitness is concerned...I actually agree with the CEO.  Too many of these PT are imposing their will on clients just to sell them services to the point where they run people out of their memberships.  However they need to have some trained staff on board to assist gym members...otherwise if an accident occurs, they can get into a huge lawsuit

this maybe true, but ML Lime has less calories and carbs, can't put a price on that

Advice and autograph/photo op, yes.

Business solicitation - no

Most personal trainers that I've witnessed in various gyms I've belonged to try to make working out the most complicated thing that they can.  This way the client keeps thinking they need the trainer for guidance and keeps buying more sessions.  I always remember this time I saw a guy doing pushups and the trainer just wouldn't shut the hell up.  "Move your hands in a couple inches...not that far...little farther...there it is...now move your head up...little too far...up a little more...there it is!  Great form!"  Fuck just let the guy do a pushup.

I went to a family function a couple of weeks ago where we had mexican food.....I brought some Coronas and limes and somebody at the shindig had the gall to say "wheres the good beer.....yuck, yuck....."  I quickly snapped, "like any of you know wtf good beer is!"  Since I've brewed my own, etc.... nobody said a word and I drank most of it myself.....

I've worked out since highschool but I got into the best shape of my life w/a trainer.

I think the excellent ones may be somewhat rare though, at least at my gym.

Is your trainer still around?  There are some excellent PT's, but you don't typically see them hanging out in the gym trying to drum up business.

That is veryyyyyyyyyyyy true

That's just it though. Its a rarity. Finding a personal trainer that actually knows what he/she's doing and looks the part is like finding a pin needle in a heystack.

Yep she still trains people.  She doesn't need to hang out and drum up business...people flock to her.

Agree

Yes

[newmom]

Agree

Yes

was he/she showing you different exercises? I'm assuming the dieting was different than normal eating habits?
