Overweight personal trainers

[ronc26k]

Is it just in my city or are other places plagued with this too?

If you cant take care of thier own physique what makes them think they can help others? Also i never see them doing any basic exercises. Always some bs exercise ball shit. Sorry just my rant for the day....

I was at my daughter's 4th grade awards Tuesday and the elementary gym teacher is swelling up like a whale. I always get a chuckle out of that.

Yeah gym teachers arent setting the example like they need to lol. Theres some butterballs here that hold these "fitness boot camps" and for the life of me I cant see why lol. Im in one of the nations fattest cities an its sad... No one here is educated or has will power an dedication. They cant make time for the gym but they always have time to eat out or hit the bars

It's everywhere man....it's everywhere. I think they pick them overweiht so clients sympathize...I mean, it's gotta be a trend.

In reality it shouldnt be a problem if he/shes is qualified.
How many good doctors smoke?
How many good high school guidance counselors are the epitome of success?
How many good financial advisors arent exactly rich?
How many good US presidents inhaled?

PT's are mostly sales people.. thats the bottom line. there are good ones out there, but if the good ones cannot sell then they won't make it in the business.

the ones that I respect have built a clientale through word of mouth and even give free sessions with people who cannot afford it because they know those will spread the word. the ones who I see in the gym at 5am and also at 8pm. the ones that look good themselves.

Dont think "qualified" means enough anymore. All these bs certification programs. I mean really, you go to a 2 day course an now you know enough to train others? Half these people cant train themselves.

I believe in leading by example. I havent been a trainer full time since 1997, but if I remember right most of the trainers were in shape back then. Hell I pretty much lived at the gym back then. Kept my meals in the fridge an everyone gave each other support.

I know theres some good ones out there that really know thier shit an it shows. Just not as many any longer. Least not here. There needs to be a higher standard so it weeds out the bad ones an encourages more good ones to stick around.

When i say qualified i mean more than just a bs certification paper. Education and experience matter most. I think people confuse being a qualified trainer with being able to sell personal training, which obviously involves looking the part.
