Did I read you're only making $16 an hour back four pages ago? No wonder you're doing it for the sex because that rate sucks.

16/hr is setting the bar low?

I call BULLSHIT.

I stopped personal training about 3 years ago and there is NO WAY IN HELL a personal trainer with any old bullshit certification and ZERO EXPERIENCE, who doesn't have to know anything about personal training or be responsible for getting his own clients will get paid 16 dollars per hour by a gym where the PT department is run by a NINETEEN YEAR OLD GIRL. I don't give a damn what state in the union we are talking about here.

.... especially in THIS economy.

When it comes to the training, I will agree with you and Bino, it isn't difficult. 90% of the clients you train will be novices, anything you do to get them moving and off the couch will get them making progress. The tricky part comes from adapting to the individuals needs/wants/expectations and creating a safe and fun environment for them. Some people want a motivations to push them, some people want a friend to hold their hand. You need to be able to play both roles.

oh noez, you didn't go there!!! Team CWBM are gonna crush you!!! don't you know you have to be donald trump and ronnie coleman combined to teach proper bench press technique or what set scheme to go with!! unless you work at a manhattan gym charging 3k an hour, have a business degree from harvard, or have experience rehabbing fatties then you'll never make it as a trainer...it's just too complex! brace yourself bro, you're about to get pwned

He isn't making ANYTHING yet. He said that the nineteen year old mgr of the PT department (the one he wants to nail) told him that "if he gets any old certification..."

And CEO is beyond accurate. The only reason I took anytime whatsoever is because:

1. at first I honestly thought I could help this guy.

2. I realized he was beyond help. Then it became entertaining. I can type almost as quickly as I can speak so it's no strain. Not to mention I was INCREDIBLY BORED.

No one said it was rocket science Bino. All we said was that it wasn't as easy as you might think. You didn't even take a stab at how you would approach training a man like my husband - only Iggy did.

I guess maybe I was an odd sort of trainer in that I would specifically WANT to train all the people that the rest of the trainers couldn't handle. All of the "extreme" cases that I mention were my average client. So when I rattle off all the different types of clients with all the limitations it's because those people were who I regularly trained.

I had clients with learning disabilities as well as nuerological issues, MS, wierd dietary restrictions due to disease, morbid obesity, all sorts of injuries in addition to the everynowandthen bored hausfrau and guy who is approaching middle age, excollege athlete who developed a tire around his midsection and wanted to try to go a little bit back in time.

Not to mention that Mr Strap is right in that if you suddenly get a couch potatoe moving OF COURSE they will get some sort of result. But the body quickly adjusts. So what do you do to keep them progressing?... keep re-upping with you? How would you know if they are losing bf and not muslce mass? How would you track their progress, keep them motivated and sticking to their goals?

i've never talked shit about the profession, i just feel confident that i could do the job.
nothing you or CW say to me can change my opinion about this...if it sounds arrogant fuck it then, it's arrogant.
my one hobby in life, the one thing i've done consistently for over a decade, is weight train.
so anyone that tells me i'm not capabler to teach my only passion in life will get a big fuck you.

Bino - there is more to personal training than weight lifting/bodybuilding. The fact that you don't realize this speaks volumes about how little you know about the profession. Nothing more and nothing less.

I was just like you once. I had done two bodybuidling competitions, had transformed my body, everyone was constantly coming up to me in the gym, on the street asking me "how'd you do that?" So I said to the woman who trained me for my shows, "I am thinking about personal training. Heck, I did it with my body so why not get paid to do it for others?"

She looked at me and said, "You think that everyone out there who wants/needs a personal trainer gives a fat rat's ass about YOUR GOALS?"

I was stunned. I mean, she trained me WTF was her problem?

So then she elaborated. She asked me, "So you think that the little old lady who just wants to be able to carry her groceries up a flight of stairs alone is going to be doing hacksquats and benchpresses? What about the ex college athlete who is now middle-aged, has high blood pressure, 50 extra pounds, old injuries whose been a couch potatoe for the last 25 years? You gonna have him run on the treadmill to drop a bit of bf? What about the woman who has been yo-yo dieting for nearly her entire life? What are you going to do to jumpstart her metabolism and get her on the path to physical activity limiting her risk of injury?

I looked at her like a deer in headlights.

She was absolutely right. So when I DID make the leap I made damned sure that I learned as much as I possibly could about every single condition/limitation that came my way. That was just one of the aspects of the job that I loved, the fact that I was constantly being mentally challenged; learning new things.
