Hey what’s up, Jemand here… I hope you are doing awesome and I hope you kicked ass when you worked out today.
The majority of people who try to train themselves usually fail because they aren’t doing the right program, and they do not have the support of an experienced personal trainer. However, before you pay hundreds and thousands of dollars for a personal trainer, here are 10 ridiculous but important things you want to look out for.
Top 10 Personal Trainers you should run like hell from!
The trainer who's doing all of his married female clients - this guy's a real knucklehead and is the reason many married men would rather send their wife out to sea with a boat full of sailors than to a personal trainer
The trainer who just goes on and on talking about himself the whole workout - if this guy would just listen to what his clients said a little more often instead of going on and on about himself, his clients will probably get the results they paid for
The out of shape trainer – I believe that a trainer has to look the part if he wants people to believe that his method of training works… Ask yourself this, would you buy a house from a homeless man? Let’s just leave it at that
Large corporate gyms hiring just about anyone who will apply as a personal trainer – Have you seen some of the people who get hired as trainers? They couldn't tell a hamstring from a lat or a protein from a carb… it's almost like the gyms just put up 'now hiring' signs and if the person applying has no experience as a janitor they get hired on as a trainer
Mr. Functional – this dude takes his clients through nothing but 60 minute core and functional training workouts… thinking that his clients want to be able to do seal tricks on a stability ball… it never occurred to him that a few might actually want to lose some fat, tone up and look better… but hey, at least if they ever get pulled over for drunk driving they'll pass with flying colors.
The trainer who charges $10 for a one-on-one hour long workout – this dude devalues the hell out everything he touches and should just go apply at McDonalds… he's got more of a future there
Mr. Crazy Form – I can't tell what he's got his clients doing half the time, I just know it ain't safe… he's teaching semi-complex powerlifts while having never done one in his life… stiff legged deadlifts with the knee's totally locked, back rounded and toes pointing out to the sides at about a 45 degree angle… bench presses with the crazy bounce and rounded shoulders… squats that look more like a really bad 'good morning' ( again, with a horribly rounded back)… and some other crazy exercises that he must've made up… these 'custom' exercises of his won't do much more than blow out the joints and cause some pretty gnarly injuries… this bafoon is one of the most common offenders.
The trainer who's always late – One of the biggest reasons people quit their trainer… You paid for 1 hour of training, but this guy shows up 15 minutes late and then ends the session five minutes early so that he can go grab ass with his buddies.
The Pervo Trainer – He is creeping out every female in the gym… he stares them up and down with a look that scares the living sh*t of em'
The Rep-Counter - "one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten… good! now let’s do some one legged stability ball core twisters… one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten"
Well, there ya have it… I'm sure I left a few off the list… Before spending a fortune on a Personal Trainer, make sure you screen them thoroughly. You don't want to end up with Big Al...
In the comment section below I'd love to hear about any that you know of that I forgot to mention… Or your personal experience with any of the ones I listed above.
