Government overreach regarding personal trainers

[Fuzzy Nuts]

You're too fucking stupid plus you're a coward to even think about entering this thread with any insight. That being said. Speak when you're spoken to and shut the fuck up.

ENTERING THREAD!!!

The government 100% needs to get involved in the PT. Fees should be collected and tests given for an annual license. Financial responsibility or insurance of adequate level should also be required.

In other words, Obama's going to stick it straight in your dumb ass.

Oh shut the fuck up you government dependant troll. The government can't even govern themselves. There is plenty of coverage for PT's that covers everything you're supposedly concerned with. Very few unless they're a shady operation with hire or even hire as independent contractors with out adequate coverage. I personally pay over $3k a year for $5mil in coverage. Independant PT's working in a private club pay less.

I've tried talking to trainers on a few occasions.  It tends to follow a certain pattern with a lot of strong emotion and unsupportable claims delivered by the "trainer". It's unfortunate that these people are allowed to pollute the gym with their unreasonable and dangerous methods.

Indeed it would be a great benefit if they were eliminated completely.

Personal Training should be banned, it's a ridiculous concept for ridiculous people and only interferes with those who have the proper will and desire to train without external stimuli.  I fucking hate personal trainers, when I started training 27 years ago there was no such thing, anybody who acted in such a way was considered a wanker, because that's what they are.  Just shut the fuck up and train, if you can't do that without someone holding your hand, go play golf or tennis you pretentious yuppy fucks.  Gyms used to be where MEN went to work hard and blow of steam, Now they are full of beta fags and office workers and ditzy women swanning around trying to look beautiful.  Gym's becoming mainstream ruined everything, you see the same fag developments happening in the UFC right now, they are turning what used to be a masculine endeavor into a laughing stock.

Of course, what you say is true. Personal Trainers are a disgrace to themselves, their families and society as a whole. We know that. It's a self-evident truth, but, no one is forcing anyone to hire one of these tools. In fact, if you're dumb enough to do so, you deserve to get worked. Let the buyer beware.

There's no need to add another inefficient department to an already bloated overextended government.

Here's a photo of him. Piece of lying shit

You should really be more troubled by his nonsensical run-ons.

[Coach is Back!]

The small percentage of good trainers who are out there maximise efficiency for their clients.

Wealthy and successful people, who typically are reasonably intelligent and have above average judgement, pay a premium for that as it means they don't need to waste time. You may think they can do this by themselves but that's not the case and good PTs provide a great service.

You can't judge all PTs by the shit that you see 99% of the time in 99% of the gyms across the world. The industry is full of dross, and Coach is IMO wrong if he thinks certifying bodies can police it. It needs root and branch reform, and even then most PTs will be substandard because the overall quality of personnel attracted to the profession is extremely low. 

Right across all aspects of the fitness industry - PTs, gym managers, therapists, f*ckwit nutritionists who were too dumb to get into the worst Med School - the standards are too low and will remain so until more regulation comes in and it becomes a better controlled and respected industry with more solid companies leading the way.  It's the wild west and everyone in it is held back as a result.

Reasons could be that..

1. They didn't want too

2. It's too expensive

3. other reasons besides what you described

Of course there were. Funny how you people that think they know everything about training when in reality you don't know beyond what you've read in a magazine are so closed minded. You really think PT is just limited to commercial gyms. Your perception is narrow at best. lol

I agree, they do not work in the Fitness industry but know it all. I see Fitness as a tool for Rehab and for young and old people/sport enhancement. the pumper mentality is OK but you have to keep an open mind to weight training. It has so many avenues.

$3K for $5 million in coverage? That policy probably has so many exclusions it's useless. Hopefully, you'll never find out. However, if you do, you can hire Harley to sue your broker and insurance company for selling you a worthless policy.

Have you ever harmed or threatened anyone with violence?

It's facility insurance + We work with athlete agents that require us to carry extra coverage. Being that we work with agents it's a solid policy and they set the requirements.

[mr.turbo]

so you never got caught?  did you get caught doing anything else? 

[Fuzzy Nuts]

Does facility insurance cover injuries such as a frayed steel belting caused puncture wound?

Also, case in point. The consumer had to tell you how much/what type insurance coverage was needed?   You were not responsible enough to have adequate coverage for your clients?   This is why the government needs to step in and regulate.

This is why I think you're about 15. You're a very stupid person gimmick or not.

They told you what insurance to have, because you didn't have enough coverage. Now the government will tell you, because you were irresponsible. Get it?
