Trainers at the YMCA talking shit about me!

[Sexual Mustard]

So I'm about to train this female friend I know for my school project. Basically lean her out a little with some more muscle. She works at the local YMCA as a massage therapist. I instructed her that she would be doing cardio on her days off of weight training--in the morning on an empty stomach. At that time she agreed with no hesitation.

Well, I spoke to her a couple of nights ago and the conversation went something like this:

Girl: So, you said you wanted me to do cardio on an empty
stomach?
SM: Yes.
Girl: Well, I've been hearing some conflict over that...
SM: Oh..?
Girl: Well, the trainers at my gym have been telling me
otherwise...saying that that's bad...
SM: And WHY..??!
Girl: Well, they said that it's not good to do cardio on an empty
stomach, saying that you're in starvation mode.
SM: Are you kidding me?!! That's ridiculous! They're IDIOTS!
Girl: Well.....that's what they're kind of saying about you...
SM: Didn't I tell you that blood-sugar levels are lowest upon
awakening, and this the optimal time for your body to tap
into its fat stores for energy??!
Girl: Well....but, I mean where did you get your information?
School?

Basically, I chewed her out for even questioning me. I'm a competitor, and I've trained a few people successfully, and I've read about this in countless articles and books (as I know most of you have). I told her to tell her trainers to take a pitchfork and shove it up their asses, and to call me personally if they want so I can chew their asses off. That's my rant of the day.... YMCA fuckheads.

Don't eben train that bitch if she wants to listen to those chickenshit knownothing trainers with 12 inch arms. I can tell that you know your shit Tell her to eat rice cakes and shit like that befofe she does cardio. Almost all the trainers I ever see are really nothings and they are robots to muscle and fitness 3 sets of 10 on the smith machine bullshit. Dont worry about that chick if she is a dumb hoar and doesnt want to listen-don't bother

 

[Imnotdutch]

It sounds to me like she just wants to do it right, so she consulted more than one person. If you disagree with what the others said, just shoot down their argument with references. Better still, go and discuss it with the other trainers and dont let them off until they look stupid. You might also try comparing their conditioning to yours or that of your previous clients.....and do it right in front of these other trainers. Give them a chance to argue back so that your friend can see how little they know.

By giving her a hard time makes it look like you dont know what you are talking about.

I concur.

She is dumb for questioning what she has been told, and making sure she sees all sides of an argument??? That's pretty smart in my books!

People will come to a trainer, pay out the ass and then skimp on the diet/cardio portion just so they can BITCH and MOAN that "Oh..I have a personal trainer, and I STILL can't lose weight."

Therefore - they have done all they can do....

Blow it off.

 

[theoak01]

you obviously know your shit,here's what you do,confront them about it and ask why they said your a idiot and such and let them plead there case,then when its your turn to respond take off your shirt hit up a sweet ass pose and flex all over there skinny ymca trainer asses,they will look like such fools they wont ever talk to you again

 

[decem]

actually.. it doesn't matter if you do cardio on an empty stomach or not..

it's all about calories in < calories out..

and then there's the widely recognized theory that fat burns in a carb flame.. which i believe to a degree..

 

[Golfer18--old]

Decem

Calories matter but doing cardio on an empty stomach burns fat faster and more effectivley.

 

[cm3504jm]

Blow it off! It's not the first time and wont be the last.

Your self-confidence is way higher than theirs. Insults are the sign of jealosy, rise above all that.

(BTW my blood sugar levels are lower in the afternoon and higher in the am, different for everyone)

Chewed her out for questioning the great, all-knowing sexual mustard huh? Heaven forbid. If you had talked to me like that for simply asking a question, I'd have fired your arrogant ass on the spot.

Re: Decem

no... not really

look.. there's been a billion studies on this.. and there has yet to be one that proved indefinitely that one is better than the other..

it all depends on what you eat.. how much you burn.. the intensity level you train at.. how much afterburn you get.. etc etc etc..

 

[jersey boy]

I can't wait to talk to you about this one. LOL

 

[Sexual Mustard]

I can chew her ass out because she's my friend, guys...calm down. It's not like some client just hired me. So sue my arrogant ass because I'm not a YMCA idiot.

This is the way I see it....it's MY project, and I asked her to participate so I can try my "skills" on her. She agreed--hell, WANTED badly--to do this to lean out, and said she'd do whatever I tell her. Now, if I were to mess up and give her bad advice, then the results will be poor and my grade is bad. Then it's entirely my fault and no one else's. For her to agree and participate and consult others is not fair to my grade (especially if she does their advice behind my back). It's an unfair influence to my grade, and she would be wasting my time (to which she should have said "no" to the offer).

Bitch.

 

[gymtime]

No one said you gave her bad advice. But if she accepted this arrangement, I can only assume she wants to trim down, get healthy, whatever. Which means that if she belongs to a gym, she's going to get a lot of advice from people, not just you, whether she's involved in your little project or not.

None of what you said changes the fact that all she did was ask a question. If you chewed her out in a friendly way, that's one thing. But that's not what you said in your first post.

I suggest that if you're going to train people for a living, that you learn how to deal with them better. Not everyone who questions you deserves to be bitched at. And not everyone who disagrees with you is an idiot.

 

[Sexual Mustard]

I guess it's kind of hard to tell from my typed, edited dialogue. If you were to hear her, she wasn't "just asking a question". She was obviously and clearly influenced by what her trainer friends said--to the point where she something like, "But it doesn't sound too healthy to do what you suggested." Now keep in mind that when I first discussed this whole training thing with her I explained to her why I beleive doing cardio on an empty stomach has benefits (to which she said "oh, WOW, that's cool...!"). Now, she thinks she's going to starve to death and keel over on the damn treadmill.

I also don't know what other b.s. her buddies told her.....she also has had a sudden change of heart about taking a thermogenic supplement---"Aren't those, like, bad chemicals though? I don't know if I wan't to take those anymore..." Of course, I can't force her to take those....

 

[decem]

hey sm... is that you in your avatar? holy crap if so.. i haven't seen you post for awhile.. and last time i saw the pic of your back in your avatar.. well.. there's a huge difference to say the least.. congrats on the progress bro..

 

[Sexual Mustard]

decem--yeah that's me......I dieted this summer, and *Voila*!
Now I'm a big fattie again until Christmas when I start dieting for a show in April....

 

[O'Stanozol]

slap bitch her, if she doesnt understand repeat the process

 

[OMEGA]

YMCA trainers are used to training people from family communities, an elder citizens. any program will do the job for these poeple.

plus they are in no hurry to shape up for a contest or anything like that.

You should just explain that you are offering her the most expidiciuos way of getting to her goals.

as for the trainers, just ignore them.

I ignore all the weak ass trainers who think they now it all.

and who try to impose the philosophy they adhere too on me or a client.

just do your own thing and the results shall speak for themselves

 

[boss]

YUP THAT WOULD BE THE YMCA............AND I BET THE ONE WHO TOLD HER THAT WAS A FAT BITCH AND EATS ONCE A DAY FROM 6 AM. TO 10 PM. OH WELL I GUESS THAT IM JUST AN ASSHOLE.

 

[FarBeyondDriven]

Been countless debate on this subject. Have heard that on an empty stomach you will go straight to fat stores, been told also muscle. Been told that eating awhile before you do cardio in the am your metabolism will be boosted from breakfast and cause you to burn more calories.
Doesn't matter which you choose as long as it works for you.

AS FAR AS PUSSY Y.M.C.A. TRAINERS
I lift at Gold's and for the past two years they have been trying to achieve that status. There trainers don't even lift. I can't stand some little faggot ass punk that can't push 225 on a flat bench telling me how to lift.

 

[b fold the truth]

When I trained people at the gym...the local YMCA trainers never agreed with what I had to say about training...but my clients always got the results that they wanted. Extreme measures for extreme results.

Bro, I think you should take their "starvation mode" 1950 logic and tell them to turn it sideways and stick it straight up their CANDY ASS! I really get sick of ignorance.
