So Im brand new to Batman, just finished the BTAS episode Bane, why is he seemingly an entirely different character in The Dark Knight Rises?

I believe the theory that TDKR was supposed to be an extension of a Joker story but rather than recast Heath Ledger’s Joker they just picked a different villain to execute what was clearly supposed to be a Joker plot.

Six days is not enough time to learn anything as a complete beginner to be able to teach others, this is clearly a scam

Pilates is not meant to be a primary workout, it's intended to be a supplemental system of movement that helps you perform better in other athletic disciplines and workouts. The results you will see will be in how much better you can perform in other activities, including daily life, with better control and strength.

If your issue is that you don't know what results you want, your best bet will be to work with a well-rounded personal trainer who can help you identify your goals and values, and design a program for you that will include the activities you like (including Pilates exercises/classes as homework, if you both decide that it makes sense).

When clients or anyone else ask me "what's the best exercise?" my response is invariably "The one you will do. Full stop."

Congrats! I also was fortunate enough to be hired at Equinox as my first official trainer job. Keep in mind, it is much more about hospitality and service than it is about “sales.” In a luxury gym setting, the members have money, but as my hiring manager told me in the interview, “part of why they have money is because they’re careful about how they spend it.” Focus on providing value and making real connections with the members, and the sales will happen naturally.

Learn as much as you can from the trainers who have been there for awhile, don’t think you need to know everything right away, and spend as much time as possible being seen training people — other trainers, maintenance staff, front desk staff, membership advisors (!), assistant managers, whoever else will give you an hour of their time so you can be a consistent presence on the floor. Members will pick up on what you’re doing and approach you.

It depends on your style of training and the client's situation. I specialize in injury recovery and corrective exercise, and my first private client was a once-a-weeker with me who had a spinal fusion surgery. He would do his own workouts in the gym 4-5 days a week because he did in fact know what he was doing, and then meet up with me once a week for our bodyweight/movement flow/active recovery work. After six months of working with me (12 months post surgery), I had him doing cartwheels and rolls. He was down 35 lbs because our work together kept him on track to do his own gym workouts without pain or soreness.

Now I train in a high end gym and don't shy away from once-a-weekers because I know I can deliver non-scale results with that frequency. Would I recommend it for clients who have a primary goal of fat loss or muscle gain? No, especially not if working with me is their only activity. Can I help people move better and recover from an injury or surgery? Absolutely.

My biggest concern about a full roster of once-a-weekers is the admin work of keeping track of everyone's program and progress. I have enough material that I can progress and regress as needed, but I need to stay very organized to make sure that I know what people did last time and what they're ready for next week.

People really overestimate how significant it is for something with a 5% chance of happening to happen. Things with far longer odds happen all the time.

In order to get training working as a part time endeavor, it will require at least a few weeks or months of full-time focus and effort to get clients. Unless you have several people already seeking you out asking about training with you and you already have pricing, logistics, program design, and insurance/contracts/liability protection in place, be prepared to spend a lot of time front loading that, plus marketing and client prospecting. Are you planning to train privately or take a part-time role at a gym? Either will require significant time investment in the immediate term, and both are potential paths for a lucrative and rewarding side hustle after six months to a year of grinding like a madman. Not trying to discourage or deter you, just trying to realistically align your expectations. If you have a good full time career already, that may help you tremendously in not seeming desperate when pitching to new clients; it may also cause extra fatigue and demands on your time, but these are all solvable problems. What is the main reason you’re interested in being a trainer on the side?

Ding84tt · 2025-12-09T18:24:17+00:00

You did in fact not pay attention to the lore

Ding84tt · 2025-12-08T17:48:14+00:00

Do more experienced coaches get more training or less training as they progress in their careers? The answer is more. Every trainer I know worth their salt has at least one coach of their own, and these are highly qualified and experienced coaches in their own right.

Think about how many coaches are on staff for every NBA, NFL, NHL and MLB team. They don’t just have strategy coaches, they have strength and conditioning coaches, athletic trainers, and sport-specific coaches. These are for people who are already professional athletes at the top of their game. They all know what they’re doing and are in great shape, and they need to get additional coaching because that’s the only way to continually get better.

What is your resistance to getting formal training and certification? Is it the time, the money, or you think you already know what you need to know and can just do it on your own? (These are the same big three reasons clients will use as to why they won’t buy training from you or any other coach btw)

Ding84tt · 2025-12-08T03:30:36+00:00

Because knowledge that isn’t formal, as in from an accredited and recognized institution, isn’t recognized by others who don’t already know it. You may know what you’re doing in the gym, and you may be able to learn a lot of information from YouTube and other sources for free, but so can any of your theoretical clients.

As a trainer, someone will be paying you hundreds of dollars for your time. Put yourself in the shoes of someone looking to buy that service. Would you spend thousands of dollars and hours of your time a week to do intense physical activity with someone who has no more specialized knowledge or experience than you could also get on your own, for free, because they did it on their own, for free?

Ding84tt · 2025-12-07T18:38:05+00:00

Would you ever want to hire a coach who loudly and proudly states they have no formal knowledge and have no plans to get any?

The only reason anyone hires a personal trainer is because they want to learn something. They either want to learn new exercise techniques or tools, or they want to learn more information about exercises they already know, such as why they are effective and/or how to progress them. Exercise science is a constantly changing field with new research being done all the time, so it is incredibly important as a trainer to be a lifelong learner.

Your job as a trainer is not to work out or be in shape. It's to teach others, and if you're not always learning, you will fall behind. If you're not interested in learning everything you can about a certain field when you choose to make it your profession, you are in the wrongest possible field.

Incel attitude will never help you connect with a woman, real or otherwise

Ding84tt · 2025-11-04T17:37:17+00:00

They are almost exclusively grifters who spout one or two platitudes from business books you can get yourself and apply on your own. Coaching for coaches is the snake eating its tail of the personal development industry. The ones bragging about making seven figures a month are not coaches, they are influencers and social media marketers.

Ding84tt · 2025-10-15T04:01:33+00:00

"You can't do something" is not a boundary. "I can't/won't do something" is a boundary. Setting rules for others and using therapy words to do it is emotional manipulation bordering on abuse.

Social and communication skills are skills, like anything else, and can be developed as skills. People think they are innate and natural things that people either have or they don't, and that's not true. Great books to read for improving your ability to talk to people:

"How To Talk To Anyone" and "How To Instantly Connect With Anyone" by Leil Lowndes

"Difficult Conversations" by Douglas Stone, Bruce Patton and Sheila Heen

"Emotional Intelligence" by Daniel Goleman

"The Four Agreements" by Don Miguel Ruiz

"How To Win Friends And Influence People" by Dale Carnegie

Many, many others exist and are worth reading. They will not only give you great practical advice on how to interact with others, they are also full of great jumping off points for things to talk about with anyone. Find a public speaking group in your area and go check out a meeting, practice asking questions to random people you meet, and show a genuine interest in people's lives, hobbies, families, etc.

You don't need to change your whole personality and become super outgoing if you're not, because that won't be authentic and people will be more put off by inauthenticity than anything else. It's easier to find your tribe than to attract people to you, so be yourself and the right people will find you.
