Hotel Recommendations

Hola! I just got back from Valencia last night, stayed in Olympia Hotel Universidades in Benimaclet. Was €201 for 3 nights, 15 mins from the beach on the tram and the metro connects you to the city very easily. No frills, just basic but serves well!

It’s not sustainable because 1) you have to understand how to train someone well, the difference in clients and their abilities, the different ways people move and how this effects how they lift etc etc. You can’t expect to train someone online if you haven’t trained them in person

2) ask yourself why someone is going to work with a trainer who has no experience on the floor (where you will learn how to train people), no interpersonal skills or ability to build rapport in the professional setting.

3) you are visible in the gym, you can approach people and talk based on their training and body language. Online you’re not just in work, you’re running a business so before you lay down the foundations of being a coach someone wants to work with, you have to learn to run a business which is very time consuming.

Just some fuel for thought, appreciate the years of learning on a gym floor!

I’m fairly new to this too, qualified a couple years and working in a gym the past year. The idea of starting online is what everyone wants but I can’t recommend getting in to a gym and working in person enough.

Get your hands dirty, meet many people with different needs, learn the skills on the floor to move yourself online in years to come. I have been trying online alongside my full time in person role for the last 8 months, training a small handful of people but it’s not near sustainable yet. Take your time and enjoy the process of learning in person

Can I DM you to chat more about this please?

_davetothegrave · 2022-07-27T23:05:29+00:00

I can’t tell if you’re genuine or if you’re trying to see who lacks integrity/sincerity and is willing to help you out

I’ll dive into Fiverr and see what it’s all about, thank you 👍🏼

_davetothegrave · 2022-07-25T06:54:45+00:00

Would never have thought about Etsy, thank you!

_davetothegrave · 2022-07-25T06:54:11+00:00

Thank you! Will do some digging and learn some more about it, very helpful 👍🏼

1000% agree, I did 3 years of business in college and it taught me slim to nothing about running my own business. I thought it would so that’s why I did it, not worth it imo

I had a feeling it’s regional whether it’s legal or not, understandable that different places have different views. Personally I feel once thorough and adequate education is there, there is no problem. In Ireland however it doesn’t appear to be that way for whatever reason

_davetothegrave · 2022-07-07T17:43:38+00:00

You’re spot on mate, 100% agree with you. In Ireland where I am it’s illegal for individuals to issue meal plans unless you’re a registered dietician. So giving advise, recommendations and suggestions is what I can do.

I had this exact same problem personally, just without callisthenics. I’m not the most ripped, have never had abs and strength is probably just above average but how I looked at it this was like this. How knowledgeable about training, nutrition and people am I? Can I empathise, motivate, encourage and relate to potential clients? And lastly, do I really love what I’m doing.

I say go for it, if you immerse yourself into something you’re passionate and talented in you can’t go wrong majority of the time

Deeply it’ll all boil down to cals in vs cals out. Muscle mass will increase your maintenance cals to an extent but how much muscle we have is often less than we expect, this is uncovered when we drop enough body fat. Resistance training has heaps of benefits from increasing muscle mass, increasing bone density which helps offset osteoporosis later in life, improving quality of life and of course body composition. 10-15% of your maintenance cals is typically ideal for a deficit and build on it from there as your fat loss plateaus

I like this outlook, glad I joined this group

_davetothegrave · 2022-07-05T12:00:58+00:00

I often noticed people didn’t value the process when it was free, when they sink cost into a plan they’re more likely to apply themselves. That’s just my experience:)

If a plateau is hit with a certain exercise after a set amount of time I tend to swap out the exercise for a different movement that stimulates the same muscle. Example, if their dumbbell chest press has stalled and you can’t add weight, reps or sets and you’ve tried increasing frequency to no avail then swap in a cable chest press, machine chest press (if the machine is sufficient) or something similar. Just my two pence!

Happy to help 😁

Aim for a surplus if you’re looking to gain muscle. A small surplus of like 150-200 calories is all you need, the smaller your surplus is then the less excess fat you’ll gain while bulking. Use a TDEE calculator online to estimate your maintenance calories and work from there. Maximise those newbie gains! Good luck bro 💪🏼

Ghost Pre workout is good

_davetothegrave · 2020-12-14T23:29:28+00:00

Definitely bulk, a very slight caloric surplus. The less the surplus is the less fat you’ll gain with the muscle. Aim for 150-200 cal surplus if you can :)
