yes, all trainers should now pass out a "pussy agreement" before anyone works out. The member can always end the workout by yelling loudly, "pussy here, I'm a pussy, I quit"

It is for this exact reason that as a personal trainer, I only train people who are in good shape already that are looking to make improvements. I do not train people who are just starting to workout or have just started at the gym. Because I tend to like to push people beyond their limits, I would be a prime candidate to be sued by these lazy kind of people.....even though I do make them sign a waiver and covenant not to sue. So I stick with training quality fairly athletic people who have been working out on their own for a while! So it's a very selective type process. I'd rather do a few quality training sessions per week than make a lot of cash doing several sessions a week with just anyone.

i am an insurance man and i have always wondered if PTs carry liability insurance for this type of thing. i have not heard of this type of policy but i will look into.

noone ever thinks THEY will be sued but the odds are against you. i have been sued three times over the years for RIDICULOUS reasons but had errors and ommissions insurance to defend myself. all three suits ended up being declined and dismissed and that was the end of it.

personal trainers seem a good target for lawsuits. a smart attorney would name the gym as a defendant too. i suppose the gym would ask for some sort of liability policy naming them as additional insured, if they were smart. what all personal trainers are genuises?

Fat people at the gym are just as annoying as naked guys in the locker room who want to talk to you...
You ever notice a lot of these fat people drive around the front door parking area for a while until they get a spot. Then they get on a tread mill! WTF.
Serenity now... serenity now!

I would have thought that the gym, especially a large corp like crunch, or PT if he's a contract employee would have any client sign a waiver/disclaimer advising them of the risks of any and all excercise programs to try and protect themselves.

waiver, schmaiver. it ain't worth anything in court. you need insurance to protect yourself.
