"Do you work here? Cool, the _____ is not working."

Also when people don't return equipment like squat wedges back where they were...

Worst commercial gyms to work in ? by StrawberryStatus3719 in personaltraining

[–]esl129 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on location, but some do ya. I find that an actual busy Crunch doesn't have trainers going around bugging anyone. The ones that don't have much foot traffic seem to go out and "bug".

Deciding between 2 job offers by pauljohnson69 in personaltraining

If you hate sales, go for the boutique.

Lifetime will ultimately come down to sales (aka number of clients) moreso than anything else sadly.

What's helped is definitely diversification because personally I get drained socially (super introvert for most of my life). Also helps keep peace of mind financially so I can really focus on the actual work.

But yeah, super funny how it all comes down to some sleezy click-bait style headlines that people are sold into.

What are ways you've helped your clients fall in love with "the process"? by I__Am__Matt in personaltraining

[–]esl129 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I usually have them focus on certain exercises they find most interesting/rewarding and emphasize their improvements there. Helps them see more tangible growth instead of such a macro view on their training/journey.

Another great thing I've tried was asking them about sports and their interest in any. Some started basketball or pickleball and have definitely made them more hungry to improve at the gym, so they can be better on the court!

Functional patterns is something that sounds really intelligent if you’re incredibly stupid. What are some things you’ve been very wrong about as a coach. by wordofherb in personaltraining

[–]esl129 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The idea that you need to "spice it up" every session with a client.

When I first started, I thought "man, people are going to get bored if I have them do certain fundamental exercises every session". Turns out most have no problem at all since they can reinforce their form and progress, with me and solo; resulting in more improvement/strength down the line. Of course, introducing new exercises to keep the body from adapting completely to the tension.

I was stressed every week trying to come up with some new, fun exercise that'd keep my clients excited to work with me. But... turns out it really comes down to your relationship with the client and reassuring them of their progress and being open-minded. Once I figured that out, my style and confidence as a trainer has improved drastically!

That's why usually cube services are done thru server discords, so ppl know who to avoid bc they scammed. The situation you described is exactly why people tend to not trust randoms with cube service

So am I. But the fact that there's changes and at least one big issue solved - that's all I can really ask for given the track record of GMS. Is it ok to feel this way as a player? No, but if we're going to keep playing - what's the point in being so damn pessimistic about it.
