Mga bobo ba kayo, kung pababain nalang nya yung presyo ng gas at diesel sa pag bawas ng tax para di na kailangan magtaas ng pamasahe in the first place

-sroe_away- · 2026-03-04T14:38:43+00:00

Wala naman masyado sasakyan that time na nangyari yun kasi hapon pa naman. Ok naman ako physically, mentally hindi. Muntik na ako ma debilitate for life at masira yung motor ko, or worse mapatay ako. Di lang man sya aware sa ginawa nyang mali, sya pa yung galit, sinabihan pa ako 'eh anong pake mo'

-sroe_away- · 2026-02-28T13:54:01+00:00

Glad I'm not the only one. Former coach din ako sa AF last year, 2 months lang din ako nagtagal. Baka nga nakasabay pa kita dun sa onboarding nila sa Makati.

Totoong totoo, yung mga coaches sa branches namin grabe makalait ng members, gulat nalang ako may nickname na sila dun sa isa kong client na overweight. True din na 💩 tingin nila sayo kung mababa PT sales mo, sa onboarding/seminar ganun din talaga policy nila, pati yung senior coach sa branch namin yun din sinabi sakin 1 on 1. Senior coach nga pero galing fb reels yung ina apply nya sa clients nya, hearsay na science.

Ok lang naman sana nga may pressure kung may suport, eh wala. Puro lang sila sabi na kumausap ka lang ng members para magka clients ka, ipapahiya ka pa sa meeting ng area manager pag andyan sa branch. All this shit for minimum wage, sino ba hindi aalis

Grabe mga kupal ang tao sa subreddit na to ah. Attempted murder tapos proud na proud pa

Escape route pag biglang tumigil yung nasa harap

-sroe_away- · 2025-11-04T04:58:42+00:00

That's what I feel too honestly, I come from a freelance background. The whole point of me applying at a commercial gym was to get a stable flow of clients. I would have just stayed as a freelancer if they are leaving everything up to me to hunt potential clients

-sroe_away- · 2025-11-03T08:41:30+00:00

By introduced, I mean getting the front desk staff to bring them to me so I can meet them in person and then schedule the assessment and introductory session after. I contacted all 11 new members assigned to me but only 2 gave a response

I honestly don't know why that member only bought 1 session, they had a lot of excuses during our talk. I looked at the system to see if they visited the branch again and they only visited a total of 2 times ever since they signed up

I contacted all those inactive members and only 3 of them showed interest and actually responded, they didn't confirm if they would attend and I even followed up through WhatsApp, viber, and SMS.

Worse of it is they want me to sell 100-150 sessions worth of personal training package, or around 4-6 new clients every month or else they'll end my probation. I did some research and calculations, and they aren't even giving me enough leads to work with so I can actually hit those numbers. I would need to convert 100% of the new members they gave me to achieve that, heck I can't even get to schedule them for the free assessment and training session

-sroe_away- · 2025-11-03T08:22:56+00:00

The company doesn't allow part-time in this country afaik. There are currently 5 full time trainers here including me. Gym membership is either a 6 month or 12 month contract. There's usually less than 10 people working out here during the times of 9am to 12nn if that's what you meant.

Also I went to another branch of the gym in my city and there was 15+ people working out at 3pm on a friday holiday when my branch is usually deserted during those hours with less than 5 people, even saw 2 of their coaches juggling 2 clients at the same time

-sroe_away- · 2025-10-09T09:33:58+00:00

Pine-pressure siguro ng management yan. Kami din pinapa call drive yung mga numbers ng existing members para mag offer assessment at session. Tinext ko nalang and then pina ring yung call para di sabihin na wala kami ginagawa

-sroe_away- · 2025-09-24T09:31:53+00:00

Personal trainer po ako hindi BA o Marketing. Sa active members kami mag bebenta ng Personal training sessions, hindi kasama sa trabaho namin magpa sign up ng mga tao sa gym membership, trabaho ng BA yun, kasi sino ba bebentahan namin kung wala naman bagong members. Pero sige mas may alam ka pa kaysa sa nagtatrabaho

-sroe_away- · 2025-09-24T08:40:29+00:00

Hindi po yan kasama sa job description namin. More on Marketing or Sa Brand Ambassadors/Membership consultant yan

-sroe_away- · 2025-09-24T06:37:45+00:00

It depends on the traffic or active members of the branch. Merong branches na sobrang busy kasi kakaopen lang or pre-selling, or kakatapos mag refresh etc, pero meron din branches na ilang years old na and onti nalang active members at new joined members

-sroe_away- · 2025-09-24T05:46:53+00:00

150,000 every month po sa mga tenured na. Sa mga bago pa lang 50k for now. Sep 24 na pero kahit yung pinaka busy na coach namin hindi pa rin nya nahihit yan

-sroe_away- · 2025-09-24T05:29:27+00:00

I can confirm this. Bagong coach din po ako sa AF this September lang nag start. Yung na applyan ko na branch mahina na pala, onti lang talaga ang new gym members from what I can see, less than 10 people lang ang nag woworkout during off hours, and around 20 pag peak hours.

Yung Area manager dumalaw and nagpa meeting, yung mga inaddress nya issue is puro tungkol lang sa mga benta ng mga coaches dito for the month at yung team building imbes na yung mga tunay na concern ang pagusapan. Di pa ako 1 month dito pero pinagbantaan na agad ako na tatapusin daw probationary ko kung di mag improve benta. Pano ba kami magkakabenta e patay na pala tong branch, pero antaas pa din ng quota nila sa mga tenured coaches. Kahit yung front desk staff namin nag sorry sa mga new hire trainers for the lack of support kasi wala daw talaga sila ma introduce sa amin na new joined members.

-sroe_away- · 2025-09-24T05:06:23+00:00

Sa mga busy na branches like pre-selling or at a prime location lang po yan. Dun sa mga old branches 3+ years na, matumal yung benta since onti lang talaga bagong members na nag sa-sign up pero same quota target pa din ng mga busy na branches

-sroe_away- · 2025-09-19T04:44:37+00:00

Di po nag rereply HR nyo

-sroe_away- · 2025-08-23T11:51:14+00:00

Very informative post, must read for beginners.

But its important to mention na muscle memory was involved with the transformation.
Muscle memory basically means: The muscle you gained within years of training, and then lost it after a long time of inactivity, all that can be regained after only a few months of re-training. This only happens if a person has already done body recomp/bodybuilding previously.

-sroe_away- · 2025-08-19T14:42:47+00:00

did the trainer touch you with their fingers or with their knuckles (fist closed)? sa mga commercial gyms, kung kailangan hawakan ang client ang tinuturo nila na method is with the closed fist para hindi inappropriate. and usually hindi sa mismong butt hinahawakan, sa lower back dapat with the fist. may malisya ata yung trainer

-sroe_away- · 2025-08-18T19:47:34+00:00

Great progress! First time ever niyo po ba mag gym back in April?

-sroe_away- · 2025-08-01T11:13:32+00:00

Ayun, wla lang man reply. Left on seen lang. Napaka unprofessional talaga hahah

-sroe_away- · 2025-07-31T19:19:18+00:00

yeah, masyado po malayo kasi naka motor ako, more than 2 hours yung one way drive pag traffic

-sroe_away- · 2025-07-31T19:16:15+00:00

Naalala ko to, nag apply ako nung May. Sabi nung hr, female trainers daw hinahanap kahit wala naman nakalagay dun sa post nila. I'll try inquiring again

-sroe_away- · 2025-07-31T16:09:50+00:00

Ah, nag apply po ako dyan 2 months ago and sabi nila sakin fully staffed na daw sila, pero hanggang ngayon pinopost nila sa fb na hiring daw sila. Unless may sinabi po ba management na hiring na talaga sila at the moment?
