Trainers at my gym
I know training someone is just the knowledge that you have learned thru out the years or some kind of program one must go thru to get certified, I am not here to knock anyone but these trainers ive got at my local gym are some of the most unhealtiest looking people I have ever seen trying to train someone else how to be healthier. My wife and i had a discussion the other night about if we were gonna get trained by someone at least having some one who looks fit to train us. To me thats just a turn off all together to have some pot bellied dude come walking up to me and ask me if i would like to sit down and talk with them about their training programs. Now im sure alot of these people know their shit but that doesnt make me want to just up out of my seat and spend an ass load of money when i look healthier then what they do. do you guys have anyone at your gym like this??

lol,when no one is around i get like that
Do you have anyone at your gym that you know is on steroids and make entirely too much noice and walk around like they are bigger that what they are? We have this dude that comes in that just tinks hes the shit like he wont be able to fit out the door because hes sooooooo big, I look at this dude like really, I was curling twice as much as this clown and didnt have to make no where near as much racket as what he does, he does his 8 reps and slamms the weights down and walks a complete 360 around the bench so everyone sees he just curled 55 lbs, im like dude I cant believe you had weight on that bar, your a fucking beast!!! LMMFAO
Damn you guys are so harsh. I always make them give me free stuff then turn them down. But they say, "those who cant do, teach." the fighter who never made it is the trainer, the fat girls who never made it teach track????. It is hard to have credibility in an area of health when you dont look the part. I will say this though. I studied a lot on health and diet over the years and i can tell you better than i can show you in that area. I am a big boy when it comes to diet, but i can tell you what you shouldnt be putting in your body from a health standpoint. But at the same time i have a vice for chips?? its hard to preach what you dont practice.
ill give you that lil joe, youve got a point. not trying to be harsh, just trying to be real wit it. How is a trainer that dont even come close to looking as fit as me ask me if i want him to train me, i take this as an insult like he is saying I cant do it on my own, I have gained over 40 lbs since july, as my wife would say I should be the one training him ya feel me
i hear ya bro, i just wanted to throw out the another angle cause not all of them are pieces of shit that dont know their ass from a hole in the ground. I for one have my MMA coach been out of action for 2 months and we have been training ourselves and doing well. well i saw him the other weeka nd he done blew up and we worked out together and he was huffin and puffin and no longer looks the part but he is a beast and i know it. Me for one am one of the more skilled guys at the gym but you wouldnt know it lookin at me. We were training and i saw one of the young guys slacking and told him to correct his form, because if you train wrong muscle memory will kick in and you will learn wrong and get used to that. you dont want wrong to be the normal. when i told him he looked at me and said some "I know what Im doing" shit. I didnt say nothing and later told him i felt bad cause i tried to correct him but he apparently knows it all already and cant learn from me. It got to me cause i NEED all our fighters to grow. When they fight its my name they go out wearing. So i decided to make him respect me. Every chance i got i put it on his ass and detailed to him what I was doing to him, why i was effective, why he was not effective and made him understand that just cause i am 40 and overweight dont mean i wont put it on his ass and dont have the skill to teach him. And in sparing I shut him down there as well to let him know its all around, but always explain to him why he is getting his ass whipped. He now makes comments of understanding and me and the other coaches support eachother. I am the only coach who has not actually fought in the cage so I think he may have thought it meant i was at the bottom of the totum pole. Some people may not look the part but have it all together up stairs.
Fuck those fucktards! THEY don't even re-rack their weights... They actually approached me like 7 yrs ago as if I actually needed their help... I told them that between the Marine Corpse and doing time upstate WTF do you think you could show me? They leave me alone now ((LOL))
yeah i said something of the same to one of our trainers, he asked me when I was gonna come talk to him about purchasing a training membership, I was like are you fucking kidding me, I showed him my before and after pics and said i got dis homie
AnonNo politically correct BS here. "Trainers" and their sheep just annoy me. Bad enough there are enough idiots in the gyms breathing air and taking up floor space for their nothing ass crap. Then I have another pair of fucks to avoid and work around, try to figure out what lame "exercise" they going to invent and take to the next station I most likely have in my plan from the last 5 times I had to skip it due to them.
GGGGGGRRRRRRR
Most every gym, especially "fitness centers", have sales people who sell personal training but they themselves are not trainers. These sales people sell gym memberships and training but they look like shit.
As for the trainers, most gyms are in the business of selling personal training "training" to these people aside from any reputable degree or national trainer certification. To clarify and give an example LA Fitness may offer some bullshit sales pitch to someone wanting to become a personal trainer. It only costs them $600-$900 to under go the program. After they are done they might be able to work for the gym. It's win win on both sides for the gym. The client being trained is usually the one to suffer.
The additional irony of the whole thing is that you might be paying $60-$120 per training session but the trainer is only making about $10-$20.
My advice is to always choose someone who looks like how you want to. It's as simple as that. Same advice stands for the wife.
Oh im not saying i want a personal trainer, im saying if I was looking for a personal trainer i would want them to at least look fit, one of the personal trainers tried to sell my wife on a $2,800 progam for 25 weeks 3x's a week, my wife laughed at him and was like are you fucking serious! Dude wasnt a dramitically unhealthy looking but he didnt look like he worked out either, I think they get a commission at my gym for their programs but my wife is doing well with out one. I dont agree with alot the trainers try to teach you, they say to stay away from the cardio and only do weight training for weight loss, Im like are you fucking serious!!!! my wife spends an hour on cardio and an hour on weights, her ass is looking so thick its hard for me to focus while working out.
Jtizzlebro was in and out of the gym biz for years.. it's 100% sales. most don't give two shits about real goals or health. It's just another product to sell. Obviously there are great gym owners and trainers out there but getting harder to find.
yeah everything is turning into money these day brother, the worlds so corrupt by material bullshit its pathetic, it saddens me to think it come to this but what ever happen to putting in the effort to just help eachother, i understand people have jobs to do but not caring is what gets me
AnonWhen I want smaller guns and a bigger gut I know who to ask for advice: Personal Trainers.
Fuck every one of them ! Better yet DON'T !!
lol that sounds about rite
JtizzleI don't want to take advice from anyone who isn't in better shape than me..
