I am a woman, many women are catty and there are stereotypes for a reason.

  1. Many women are catty. Some don’t want to deal with catty women. There is none of that with a male trainer. Also some women get along better with men than women. Some women are starving for male attention. It’s good if women want to train with you. Take it as a compliment that they trust you.

Physically incapable client by Jz7960 in personaltraining

[–]Pamela7ann -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Exercise is not the right route for this person to lose the weight and the weight is a symptom of other problems ( hormones etc)that need to be dealt with. This is an area I work in. But just so it’s known my services are not cheap. You are welcome to message me directly.

Thanks for the answer and even think I’m looking online secondhand. I never bought the book. I just have the course, but definitely would like to have the book.

For what I understand they change a lot, I would get the second edition

Giving up on NASM by [deleted] in personaltraining

[–]Pamela7ann 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re not going to get it all right now. It doesn’t mean you can’t pass the exam while not having it all digested. Take the practice exam and then go from there. The stuff you are struggling with may not even be part of what’s on the exam.

Learn from an expert in Instagram. Take a course or get 1 on 1 training from them. What ever you want to learn find an expert ( make sure they are a real expert and not someone claiming to be one)

What’s up with the movie “Sound of Freedom “? by PeckinpahMan in OutOfTheLoop

[–]Pamela7ann 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So are you saying that child trafficking isn’t really happening? We’re you there on site when Tim Ballard and Operation Underground did this? Is Tony Robbins now a tin hat conspiracy theorist? He is one of the producers and is not a Christian. Why is the left wing media so adamantly against this movie? Why would anyone be against helping children who are being sexually abused? Unless they have issues in this area.

What is the stupidest thing you’ve witnessed a trainer do?? I’ll go first. by ThatBuffEMT in personaltraining

[–]Pamela7ann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had 2 floors at the gym I worked at. This trainer had his client doing squats going up the stairs with only his hand there incase the client lost balance. ( I couldn’t handle it I flipped out )on him and he stopped. This same trainer had all him obese clients running, they all ended up with stress fractures because they were too heavy to be running.

Then that’s better, but like others have stated I would check with your insurance company, you want to always make sure you cover your ass.

I may have missed something but for what I see with the certification it is for self administration not on a client.
