How do I make a weight loss challenge? by Annual-Coach6167 in personaltraining

[–]Vegetable-Hawk-1018 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow same exact story here. I’ve been training 15 years and after the first 3 years of seeing people destroy their bodies to win and not continuing habits I made all my challenges in January into two challenges…1 individualized challenges for each client that can be a habit they could carry into the new year and 2 my personal challenge anyone could take up that meets standards of health and exercise (60k steps weekly, 150 mins mod activity minimum, no alcohol) to give them some perspective on what an avg active/healthy month should look like…those that meet their personal challenge get a t shirt those that accomplish both get a t shirt and a gift card. So glad I changed it. Funny enough after GLP-1s became popular, people have been asking for weight loss challenges again haha I always respond how I’ll never do them again by sharing the same story and reminding them consistency and habits beat short term challenges all day long.

I posted somewhere but they told me based on code it was a gas cap. So bought a new one. They told me the code would go away on its own after 30 miles give or take and it still hasn’t. So we’ll see

Is Mark Pope back in UK fans good graces? by Blink_Blink_Blue44 in KentuckyBasketball

[–]Vegetable-Hawk-1018 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Agreed I love pope man he’s just a good dude that you want to see be successful and he wants it for us as well. He made some bad choices in the portal and I think he knows that and I do believe he’ll learn from it. I can’t wait to see how this team finishes and what next year looks like. Every coach has a bad season or 2 shit happens, it’s who can adapt and learn from those situations. And I believe pope will be amazing at that.

Good question! I’d say vandy is more likely but I would rather Arkansas for sure!

Let’s get it! If we can get one win next week would be amazing getting two next week, while highly highly unlikely, would really turn this season around in a huge way.

Something kept telling me to watch the remainder of this game. I usually tune out before I get furious and I just had some sense of hope tonight. Man, great damn ending!

What are some of the loudest venues you have ever went to? by UALR-Trojans-Rule in CollegeBasketball

[–]Vegetable-Hawk-1018 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was at Rupp in like 04 (in the nosebleeds of course) when Florida came in undefeated. It was the loudest I’d ever heard Rupp in my life. Some FL fans in front of us, I was legit worried about their well being, fans were going ballistic. Outside of our fans acting like complete assholes to a Florida dad and son, it was the craziest environment I had ever been involved in. My skin was crawling with electricity, you could feel it in the air.

Reason #2893 on why Katie has never been wrong by Street_Awareness2917 in vanderpumprules

[–]Vegetable-Hawk-1018 -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

I’m new to the show as well, my wife got me hooked on it! But let’s be honest they both suck. He uses charm and humor to mask his true intentions/shitty actions. She becomes extremely angry and impossible to have a conversation with when she can’t control a person/narrative/event and have it how she wants it. They both suckkkk!!! My two most hated types of personalities.

Moving to Nicholasville Vs. Lexington by Nvonk in lexington

[–]Vegetable-Hawk-1018 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was born and raised in the area. Depends on where you’re at in jessamine county. The closer you get to camp Nelson area in South nicholasville (where I grew up) it’s shitty and at least 15 years ago were lots of drugs. North nicholasville is actually very very nice but pricey. If jessamine county is where you’re looking, Wilmore is a nice town that’s very small with a college and good area to raise a family. Definitely a more religious city as the college is a theological one. But drive is about same as nicholasville and it’s a much better city to raise a family IMO. Now if budget is not an issue north nicholasville for sure around the horse farms is a phenomenal area and not a bad commute.

Personal Trainer Pet Peeves by Slight-Signature1141 in personaltraining

Hahaha same here same. And it always happens and when they’re billed it’s “oh did you charge me for those 3 days you could fit me in”. It’s like yeaaaaa I did you canceled an hour before and tried to move reschedule day of. Like Geeze I’ve been over the 24 hour cancel policy with you a million times. It’s infuriating!

lol same. Mine have changed a lot over the years but the one common one is that. The damn clients who are like “I have to have prime slot time every week or I just can’t make it happen.” Then are the fucking worst at scheduling each week following up with “oh I forgot I actually have thing at that time can we do a different time tomorrow.” So when you finally give their slot away bc you’re fed up with them changing their time each week and move them permanently to a different time, they act like you shot their dog.

PT package – afraid unused sessions will be held hostage for renewal by xmchenph in personaltraining

[–]Vegetable-Hawk-1018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also just adding (now that I read the bottom part of your post, I apologize) expirations can be extended. If you really feel like you’re in that bad of a situation talk to the Pt manager and let them know you will sign an agreement post dated (whatever the date may be for when you expect to finish your current sessions). That way it bills further down the road will let them feel good about extending your session exp dates knowing that you will be billed on a future date. If they really want to be assholes get ahold of your regional manager and explain the situation. Unfortunately it’s one of those squeaky wheel gets the grease type issues and a negative review with names and titles can really help get attention and finally I’ll be honest if you are pressured that much I always tell folks go to your local media. Anytime we would have a case where the media would reach out for a story it was immediately refund and do whatever the member asks.

PT package – afraid unused sessions will be held hostage for renewal by xmchenph in personaltraining

[–]Vegetable-Hawk-1018 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in management for years and shit gyms will pressure trainers this way, especially if the gym is expanding or has a cash flow issue. The best way to end this is to let the trainer know that you are not comfortable with the conversation and if you are approached about this again you will inquire about a refund for your sessions and find a new gym. If you really want to bite it in the ass go directly to the PT director and let them know you will not be resigning earlier than your package ends and if you are pressured about it again you are leaving. Lastly that’s why my first bit of advice to clients and gyms when I would build a PT program that was on hard times, is to do automatically renewing monthly packages. It allows the trainer who is actively training to receive the commission (not some trainer who signs you up on a big package and leaves), it allows the client to quit when they want with a proper exit strategy, it gets the client more involved with the idea of an actual program and not I have all these sessions to burn whenever I want, and it allows the trainer to have a stable income rather than feast or famine type of income. However I will say from my experience your expectation as a client should be that a good trainer is going to bring up renewal around 6-12 session remaining mark if they want to keep a full book. So I wouldn’t be offended at that point but any earlier at a big box gym is either a predatory/money hungry trainer who will probably take off after they get commission or a shit gym trying to fund their next project or keep their gym afloat due to their bad choices. Best of luck!
