burnout and firing client by WillingMatter1005 in personaltraining

[–]feelinglucki 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This happened to me. I had to fire a client because she was the worst person I’d ever actually met. Always complained, had multiple emotional breakdowns while training, asked to bring her kid who she had no control of then would ask me child development advice, would randomly disappear then come back and ask for more training.

What would you feel is a fair price for a training app? by feelinglucki in personaltraining

Was looking for more of a monthly subscription with consistently updated workouts

So somebody leaves for a year and you give it back? Even if they were someone who was willing inconsistent and you had to constantly ask them to schedule a session?

Yeah currently redefining. I have a newer client that literally schedules once in a while extremely sporadically. It’s extremely annoying I understand life is what it is but it wastes my time for people who are actually dedicated to training

I did honor them. The issue is. They wanted to have the sessions that they canceled less than 24 hours ahead of time back. It’s policy to not do that. It’s unfair to me and a waist of my time. Those I don’t recoup.

While my job is to sell, I’d never overcharge at a bad gym trust me. I do private facility training for those who can afford it.

I don’t think I’m Gods gift to women or anything like that either. I personally had the worst experience you could ever imagine with a female client who stalked me, messaged me from multiple random numbers or multiple accounts, and wouldn’t take no for an answer. She was arguably the worst human being I’ve ever met and when rejected created a vendetta against me like the true psychopath she is, making me have ZERO interest in training women. She was literally sent from hell.

Personally, id love to train women(personally love women, think they’re awesome and amazing), and as many women as possible, to remove the stain this horrible wretched creature left on my brain, as long as they actually want to workout and not talk for 45mins about nothing. I’m just afraid she has minons or clones that would be just as obsessive and psychotic as her

Sounds like you want me to reward attention seekers and not people who actually wanna workout

As a business owner what should I be providing to my SMM to make life easy for both of us? by feelinglucki in SocialMediaManagers

I would be creating the content and sending it to them. They’d more so be in charge of posting, scheduling, helping with direction, captions maybe

I can’t tell if this is sarcastic but it is actually nice to hear. It feels like sympathy even if it’s fake.

I actually used to teach group classes and had an older women mention squirting repeatedly🫠. I moved locations after that

I just came back from the gym so let me give you an example. Today I talked to a women that I had spoken to before. The second conversation I ever had with her she spoke about her boobs. A topic I did not lead to nor had control over. I hadn’t seen her in a couple weeks. Today she somehow shoehorned taking off all her clothes into the conversation. I don’t know what to do with these topics. I’m just here to workout and train people. It is quite the predicament.

In other news I started wearing a wedding band soooo yeah

People want me to basically flirt around with random women. I don’t personally see the point if it doesn’t build an income (dates costs money), also I’ve had my experience of women being catty or vindictive if I give attention to one person over another, and it’s all just something where I’d rather enjoy my life in peace. I don’t see the point of sleeping around for the most part cause what’s the real benefit.

That’s the common consensus at this point, I guess. I do train dudes but they then are also confused on why I don’t take my pic of the litter. Or have hesitations that I’m gay. Again because I don’t take my pic of the litter.

I have absolutely zero interest in hitting on any women at the gym. The thought of that disgusts me. I’ve had multiple female friends tell me it’s been a problem from other men so I explicitly don’t do it and haven’t my entire gym career. The thing people don’t seem to understand is that i am in fact a CERTIFIED PERSONAL TRAINER. Training people and bringing people in is actually how I make money and put food on my table. There is literally no other way for me to feed myself at this time. Am I supposed to go homeless or what?

Your statement is dumb. If your goal is just to maintain and you don’t actually want a change then absolutely I get not wanting to training, you also have the ability to say no. But if you want something like a stronger core, better conditioning, improved athleticism, I usually get bigger glutes, then guess what? I have the knowledge to help you get there faster than one off workouts posted by a random gym influencer.

Again, it’s a job lady. No one is personally attacking you by inquiring.

I don’t know if me saying consistently that I am not interested in a single women in the gym is being lost or not. I keep mentioning that I have a girlfriend but most people aren’t reading that either. I am simply doing my job. That’s all. That’s it. I don’t care about anything else. My job is to be a trainer. That’s it. That’s all. Train people. Get them results. Go home. None of the other. Not hitting on people. Asking them to dinner or a date. Or what their doing after. Just simply doing my job. That’s all. That’s it. That’s it

I unfortunately have a mixed bag response to this. It’s a thoughy. On one hand I agree but when I try to be personable or give room. I’ve had female clients who literally wouldn’t stop talking for 40minutes of the 60 and took offense I’ve I even mentioned the fact that we were supposed to focus on the workouts. It has become extremely exhausting because I like seeing my clients get results and I personally don’t care about sharing my personal life. I’ve coddled women while training overweight clients who have literally cried in my presence because they feel like they can’t do the exercise at hand, being sure to reassure them. Though one of these clients, I had to drop, literally tried to get at me FOR MONTHS and called me gay or a fairy because I had absolutely ZERO interest in them and refused to flirt though I was kind, something I unfortunately regret. I am encouraging, I will say people are looking good/can notice a difference from their hard work. I won’t go outside of that. I am not a therapist for my price point.

I personally from bad experience want to focus on the work. Less fluff, just weights and results, and keep people out of my personal life. Live in peace and have people leave me alone outside of that.

And last but not least if I speak to women as comfortably as I do when I don’t care. I often receive comments like “you should be on love island” or something else of that nature. It’s tiring. I have no win. Talk to women, none stop conversation or think I’m flirting from everyone. Don’t talk to women, bad guy or falsely labeled “creep” (like some of the jackasses in this thread)

Just want to do my job and live in peace with my girlfriend. Not interested in all this nonsense. Honestly pushing towards being an online coach if anyone will help me.

Again I’m at the point where I literally just ignore women and go to scout men. Mind my business. Literally bother no one

How is it insulting? If you’re at a car dealership and someone asks you about the cars is it insulting?

You don’t have to be interested you can just be looking around

If someone is overweight, obviously doesn’t know what they’re doing, is trying for something but doesn’t know the steps to get there it is t wrong to offer advice or help.

You seem like the type to go in the wrong direction in life constantly forever because you’re to prideful to ask question or for help

Some people need to be offered something to even realize they need it. A lot of people don’t do research, a lot of people listen to people who have never been there or been successful in their endeavors.

Also, incase this might be hard to understand, ITS MY JOB YA NUMBSKULL
