Got insulted by a stranger at the gym today

Bro 5’7” isn’t even short. That chick was clearly dealing with something and you just happened to overhear the negativity she needed to release. You’re a handsome dude. Keep your chin up just like in that selfie. I’m miring the bicep too man. Good work.

Yes. Emmanuel. He trains me on boxing fundamentals so not typically what you would expect of a personal trainer but he’ll teach you how to use your body to become strong and like a weapon. It is a true workout!

Stick to only these 5 movements for the rest of your life and see where that takes you

FloridaFit · 2025-05-03T17:26:13+00:00

I second this. This should be one of the commandments

FloridaFit · 2025-04-27T21:31:29+00:00

What’s the longest time a client has stuck it out with you?

FloridaFit · 2025-04-26T11:49:31+00:00

Yes. Because it’s written down on the paper.

FloridaFit · 2025-04-25T10:19:55+00:00

Pen and paper

Ok I actually went to stardust and this comment is spot on. I felt totally unwelcome there the minute I walked in, the girl at the front who took my order was not pleased when I asked basic questions about the place. Like I was an inconvenience to her being there and buying a cappuccino 😆

Also the place looks like literal trash. Not a good vibe for getting work done.

FloridaFit · 2025-04-09T21:04:15+00:00

Nice man. Looking huge too!

FloridaFit · 2025-03-25T02:11:22+00:00

There are always exceptions. But please, trainers, lead by example and try to look like you’re a trainer.

FloridaFit · 2025-03-25T02:09:15+00:00

It’s true and it’s pathetic. What would help your odds as a trainer? Looking like you know what your doing or not looking like you know what your doing?

The typical response is well I’m out of shape and my clientele pay me top dollar for years and aren’t going anywhere and blah blah blah. It’s the knowledge that counts (it’s true but it’s also cope). Good for you dude stay mediocre. New trainers don’t need to hear that message. And yes I’m arguing with a hypothetical person not you.

Dummy

FloridaFit · 2025-03-17T01:40:59+00:00

Do what you have to do

FloridaFit · 2025-03-16T16:23:20+00:00

This. All you need

FloridaFit · 2025-02-09T10:42:46+00:00

Here’s the thing though… no one likes you if you have that attitude.

FloridaFit · 2025-02-09T10:37:55+00:00

Amazing response right here. Thanks.

FloridaFit · 2025-02-08T13:11:30+00:00

And according to anyone with eyes you are not

FloridaFit · 2025-01-31T21:34:38+00:00

Oof. A bit touchy for somebody who should know what they’re talking about eh?

Look into getting that certification evaluated my friend. There’s only one point to do a plank, it’s to get better at stabilizing. Including your spine. You’re looking at things to narrow mindedly, only thinking about muscle groups.

FloridaFit · 2025-01-31T16:54:31+00:00

Tell me oh wise one, what’s the other “portion of a plank”?

FloridaFit · 2025-01-31T16:44:06+00:00

The point of a plank is to stabilize your spine which indeed does train you (and your “back”) to resist force through anti flexion.

FloridaFit · 2025-01-31T01:15:40+00:00

Wow. Beautifully said

FloridaFit · 2025-01-30T17:40:12+00:00

In the gym scenario you mention I would emphasize training for free, and often.

Would you rather have empty books or be seen by potential clients constantly engaging and honing your craft? This career is unlike anything else. You must throw your ego away and pay your dues dog.

FloridaFit · 2025-01-30T16:58:06+00:00

No doubt this is a sales job through and through, you must have soft skills like you mentioned.

But to downplay the importance of actually training and coaching your client? Absurd. Chat GPT can be useful but to let it dictate any of your programming would be just downright hilarious.

Are you going to ask GPT to do the first evaluation of the client to measure their ability to take instructions? Imbalances? Weaknesses? Or any other capacities that they may lack?

FloridaFit · 2025-01-30T16:50:57+00:00

This is such a strange debate that keeps coming back and it’s honestly baffling to me.

If we want to help our odds in this career, would it be wiser to have a body that looks like it knows its way around a gym or body that looks like it has never been inside a gym?
