What Ticks Me Off

I whole-heartedly believe that personal training is a noble field. We study the tools and techniques to help people live healthier, better, and hopefully longer lives. 

Incredible back pain? 

There's personal trainers out there that can help.

Need to lose 50 pounds to get your blood sugars back under control?

Personal trainers can help.

Knee pain that's keeping you from living life?

We can help with that too.

Though we're certainly not physical therapists, we can still help to strengthen parts of peoples' bodies to get them to where they want to be. Though we're not counselors, we're always there to help people blow off a little steam after work. 

I take my job seriously.

And that's why when I hear of other "trainers" abusing my field, it disgusts me.

Pushing your clients to only eat 1300 calories the rest of your life, giving your clients injectable steroids, working at another studio for 3 days just to take pictures of their set up before you quit and set up your facility the exact same way, treating clients like crap and ditching them last second when more "important" clients come in, and only letting your clients eat one meal a day are not the characteristics of a true trainer.

Ugg.

People deserve better than that.
