Hello all, I've been certified since December and worked at a gym as a personal trainer for 4 months and although I loved working with the clients, I didn't care for working for the gym. They want you put in all the work on finding clients, memorizing a script to lure them in and then take 80%...

Welcome to my new series about the workouts So let's begin : We all love to bitch about our gyms. They don’t have enough benches, the machines are always broken, and so on. It’s only when we’re forced to train at home or in a hotel that we realize what a luxury even the most average commercial...

So today I trained my first client! The mixture of excitement and nervousness converged into a very energetic and quick witted self (pretty much I was on my A game), therefore the training went really well! You couldn't ask for a much more challenging first client (or so I thought). He is 55...
