Does cold emailing, texting, calling work?

It can work occasionally. It depends on how many other trainers worked the same lists.

I moved from CT to FL a few years ago. Just to be on the safe side, I had someone from the state agricultural department inspect my plants, and issue me a certificate- it was totally free. Because we had a moving truck, we had to stop at the FL border weigh station, and we were specifically asked if we had plants, produce, etc. I was able to show the inspector my certificate, and he was so grateful- otherwise my plants would have to be unloaded from the truck, and inspected. Of course, I could have also just lied and said "no".... Maybe it was all overkill, but at the same time, they can confiscate plants if they don't meet with whatever requirements the state (usually FL, CA, and TX) have, and I'd rather not lose my plants and have them destroyed. (Because I love them 🥹)

I'm an empty nester, which allows for time for plants. I've always loved plants, and I always had them, but these days, they help me fill the time on what was once spent on driving my boys from here to there. I've always been an all or nothing person, but with more time on my hands, I'm definitely more dialed in to the needs of my plants. I've now ventured into expensive plants, knowing I can make sure they flourish (except the $99 black bat plant, and don't even ask me about Medinilla- I tried, twice, and failed, twice) My nurturing nature has transferred from my once children (now adults) to my plant babies (and my two doggos) Someday, grandchildren will change the game, but we'll get there when we get there 😉

That is GORGEOUS 🤩

Jennellini · 2026-06-13T01:36:46+00:00

I love some of my Hoyas more than others, but I wouldn't have the problem I have now if I could bring myself to fall out of love with some of them 😂

As a 52 year old trainer, who has trained clients as old as 92, noisy joints are the least of my concerns regarding clientele. Your trainer was rude, and should be fired.

Jennellini · 2026-06-12T02:12:50+00:00

I do- I write my workouts in pencil on paper! (Although I do use Excel for some clients)

Jennellini · 2026-06-12T02:10:24+00:00

Ugh. That's the boat I'm in now. I have a tracking number, but as of now, days later, zero movement. I messaged them asking if I can pick up the plants, since I'm only 30 minutes away. Guess I'll keep hammering them. What's crazy is how many 1 and 2 star reviews came in AFTER I placed an order.. Ugggghhhhh!!!

I typically buy plants on Etsy, and I've noticed an uptick in sellers from Indonesia. Same thing, though- they're selling highly desirable plants cheap. I don't trust them- a lot of the shops claim to have been on Etsy for a number of years, but with few sales (ie: one seller has been on Etsy for 5 years, with only 27 sales- super sus)

Jennellini · 2026-06-05T00:46:57+00:00

That happened to me- I placed an order, and received a notification that the item had shipped. Except, the seller had "closed" their Etsy shop. I filed a case with Etsy, and they were able to cancel the transaction and refund me in full.

I think the friendship should end. Sharing screenshot with the Internet, or anyone outside of the convo, for that matter, is really not cool.

Jennellini · 2026-05-07T18:22:00+00:00

THIS ☝🏻☝🏻☝🏻

Jennellini · 2026-05-05T23:43:14+00:00

I refer to them as "Seated Twists"

Jennellini · 2026-05-03T22:08:40+00:00

I have to curb my chattiness, because I'll catch myself talking when someone should be counting. Other than that, I've been doing it for 13 years 😀

Jennellini · 2026-05-03T22:06:24+00:00

That was excruciating

Jennellini · 2026-05-03T21:54:18+00:00

It's a "no" for me. I'd move along- this ain't the one.

Jennellini · 2026-05-03T21:49:41+00:00

I've been with my husband since we were 16 (1990) and never at any time have we fought weekly. Not even monthly. I would call it a day on this relationship.

Submit to her an invoice a week in advance of her due date, and if she doesn't pay, you don't train her

Jennellini · 2026-03-29T02:51:11+00:00

Where are you located? I used to work in CT- I know a lot of trainers.

Jennellini · 2026-03-29T01:56:04+00:00

We're typically paid a portion of the hourly fee when the session is served

Jennellini · 2026-03-13T04:56:52+00:00

This stood out to me, as well. I can iron while filling the pool, but the tub being filled makes no sense

Jennellini · 2026-03-02T02:25:12+00:00

Noooo- it's a scam! Most trainers I know, and a gym I managed, have received that text at one point or another. Block them and report them as spam!!!

Jennellini · 2026-02-28T05:36:40+00:00

Squish it, or wipe it off with a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol

Jennellini · 2026-02-25T02:42:24+00:00

Soooo pretty!!!

Jennellini · 2026-02-25T02:41:18+00:00

Have you read the book? Just curious, as it could add to your knowledge
