More Personal Trainer blunders….

Well I was trying to come up with my next post for this blog and then it HIT me!

Well it almost walked into me really.

Some things that I see personal trainers do really really confuse me.

Like today when I was working out at yet another gym in our area.

As I was entering the gym I was walking by the personal training offices when I saw what appeared to be a client waiting patiently near the door.

It was just after NOON just I figured he had a 12:00pm appointment.

I continued to watch as I began and finished my 8 minute warmup.

The client was now pacing back and forth when finally one of the trainers can out of his office.

As he walked on to the gym floor I noticed the probable reason for his tardiness.

He was still chewing his lunch and washing it down with a REDLINE as he quickly approached the client that was waiting for him.

He attempted to tell the client what to do next but was still chewing so he had to wait until he finished.

As they both looked at the clock it was now about 15 after 12 and the trainer walked with the client over to the treadmill for his warm up.

He then truly AMAZED ME!

As the client is warming up he pulls a protein bar out of his pocket and begins to scarf it down right in front of the client and everyone else in the gym.

AMAZING!

Talk about unprofessional!

I have always attempted to put myself in the clients shoes.

If I was that client do think I would have been happy?

Well would you?

I didnt think so.

It is the little things that make up the bigger picture.

Anyone can be a personal trainer.

They are a dime a dozen.

The true PROFESSIONAL Personal Trainers are much harder to come by.

And trust me, thats a VERY profitable thing for those of us that are!
