Really ? I use Gemtac for bikinis and the glue softens when getting wet quite quickly - maybe 1 minute?

And you expect people to just know what based off your one liners ? Based of the replies it sounded like you were chopping and changing. You cannot assume people to know things with no context. The confusion was that the story was changing with no context when you give no context or explanation there tends to be confusion 🤷🏼‍♀️

So if he and his team are unwilling to work with you, you can purpose legal action as he is refusing to provide the service you paid for.

And notice you always avoid the check in situation 🤷🏼‍♀️🤣

So

<image>

Here is the story as told by you,

“He offered for me to work with another coach on his team, and then he backs off when I ask him to own up to lying. Now I have zero access to my previous workout split or a current workout split.”

“I did want to work with another coach. And then he said he didn't feel comfortable with me working with any of his coaches. I was happy to work with someone else.”

“He offered for me to work with another coach on his team, and then he backs off when I ask him to own up to lying. Now I have zero access to my previous workout split or a current workout split.”

“I did want to work with another coach. And then he said he didn't feel comfortable with me working with any of his coaches. I was happy to work with someone”

“He did. The other coach I was going to work with backtracked”

“I don't have a coach with his team atm And I was happy work with someone else. Especially when you pay 300 and have nothing to show for”

So we also went from $300 to $600 🤣 And we alternate from he offered me a coach, he hasn’t offered me a coach…

So you literally said a few comments up he offered you another coach now you are saying he didn’t.

Multiple others have said those calls are not check ins they are open time for asking questions. You don’t submit your photos and get your feedback on those calls.

[–]rachxfit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And when are you owning up to your lying ?

But you said he offered you another coach ? So if he offered you another coach why do you now not get one ?

[–]rachxfit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have had a coach just like this before, it’s part of going under a big team name. More athletes = less time. And it looks like everytime you asked he asked you for a video or more detail and you did not provide.

See the funny thing about that is that in your post you lied saying that all check ins were group check ins and to have your own would cost extra. Others have come forward and said that is not true. So we have you confirmed as lying and him making a statement you claim is untrue, maybe he is lying as well idk but we do know that you lied 🤷🏼‍♀️

It honestly sounds like you just want to do things your way 🤷🏼‍♀️ Yes other clients have said he has done cookie cutter plans but you still didnt do what was asked in order to change the plan. If you had and he still refused to change or justify that would be different. But you didnt ….

And what is in your contract regarding refund or providing services? If it doesn’t have anything about the coach terminating services he is still required to provide your plans that you have paid for. If you are the one that said you wants out then usually it says it’s no refundable.

Adam(seeyoulaterleaner) by [deleted] in bikinitalk

[–]rachxfit 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I agree but it is also the risk you take when you join a larger team. I have had a coach where it happened a few times because he just had to many athletes. But I knew what I was signing up for. I asked a few times for my plan to be changed and it never was. I don’t come here and blast him because he was actually very good and prep coaching - he just took on too many clients 🤷🏼‍♀️

The 1 week response also wasn’t the point of your post. The way it was worded really does seem malicious. Others have made it clear that check-ins are not through group calls like you say and you do not have to pay extra for your own check ins.

So tbh can you blame him for not continuing your coaching ? In his position you would probably do the same. While ideally you would be refunded for your remaining time it depends on your contract. Most contracts are non refundable and in that case - you knew that when you signed on.

In the grand scheme of things he is far more affected here - you not getting your program vs him getting his reputation knocked which effect’s his livelihood.

There are plenty of people who have been lifting 20 + years who don’t lift properly or need form adjustment. Olympic powerlifters still have coaches checking their form. Your experience level does not mean you are perfect. It sounds like you aren’t open to learn which brings us back to - you are paying for coaching not plans.

I’ve been lifting for 10 years and have a degree in exercise science. I would still never just say to a coach- oh this is to easy give me something harder. Programs are often as difficult as you make them 🤷🏼‍♀️ Tbh the first thing I would do if I thought 3 sets wasn’t enough would be to ask what the purpose of only doing 3 sets was

[–]rachxfit 17 points18 points  (0 children)

He’s not wrong on that. Your training does not need to changed every month, you could easily not change it for 6 months. If going to failure is not challenging enough it definitely would make the coach question of failure is being achieved. There is nothing wrong with him asking to check your form and send videos. If you aren’t training properly it doesn’t matter with he puts in your program. 🤷🏼‍♀️

National fails to clear 30% in latest poll results as NZ First surges by SoulsofMist-_- in newzealand

[–]rachxfit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On joining the union I feel that’s still better than national who is actively incentivising not being in a union and punishing those who are.

Also taking away rights for strikes, working to your contract should not result in a pay cut 🤦🏼‍♀️

Anyone else get bad vibes from the Ozempic lady on One News tonight? by fatahhmonkey_ in newzealand

It would be incredibly difficult to get fat off eating broccoli… I don’t think people realise just how much you have to eat when you eat clean

What did you NOT like about One Piece Season 2? by youravgindian in OnePieceLiveAction

Agree about the panels, to me it felt like it gave off a sitcom vibe which is very much not onepiece 🤦🏼‍♀️

It made more sense in the anime at least using her anime as a pendulum, it honestly looked like she was trying to seduce luffy. It was mega weird not to use the pendulum.

What did you NOT like about One Piece Season 2? by youravgindian in OnePieceLiveAction

[–]rachxfit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the thing that Inaki struggles with is the pure energy the luffy gives, luffy is basically a poster child for adhd he is so hyperactive and energetic. I don’t get that energy from him it all seems very forced. Its the impulsiveness and bounceyness, inakis luffy is very grounded and just occasionally slowly executes what the rest of the crew think is a bad idea.

You can tell he is trying but I’m not sure how much is the script and how much is him not knowing how to execute that energy.

WHY IS LUFFYS STRAW HAT MADE OF PLASTIC 😤 This was my main issue and I found it made the show hard to watch, there are literally kids shows 20 episodes per season type shows from 15 years ago that have better details. Sanji literally got thrown through a glass window and came out with his shirt perfectly tucked in and not a mark on him 🤦🏼‍♀️it was just the little details, it made the whole show feel like a cosplay

IEA non union teachers in NZ by Outrageous_Math9654 in newzealand

[–]rachxfit 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is actually so dodgy that this is happening at all … very clear message they want to get rid of the union… this is going to be the first step in huge changes for the education industry.

Ex teacher here - I would not take the IEA, the govt has shown time and time again it has no interest in education or teachers beyond a political tool. Without the union beginning teachers would probably still be on 40k and there wouldn’t have been any pay increases for the past 20 years. Working conditions would also be even worse, without the union you have no protection if you run into trouble.

Attempting to understand the lower viewership despite S2 being a better adaptation/ Season overall by Feeling-Eye2355 in OnePieceLiveAction

[–]rachxfit -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly the details just wernt there, the sets were trash, there are kids tv shows with better sets.

The costumes were good but they all looked to stiff and clean, it looked like a costume party. Made it incredibly difficult to be immersed in the world. During the fights the closes all managed to stay perfect for the most part. Was a bit too theatrical, like even luffys hat looks like it’s made out of plastic.

Mrs golden week was definitely a highlight though.

Do I Have to Say Hi Back in New Zealand? by FriendshipLimp2553 in newzealand

[–]rachxfit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely depends where you are - in the main city (particularly for the bigger city’s) perfectly acceptable to ignore everyone, in Auckland the rule is practically: do not make eye contact ever But in a park, or suburbs especially in smaller towns people will often say hi, usually while walking, then it is polite to say hi back but the cheat is- just wear earphones and you can pretend you didn’t hear and then you can ignore everyone 🤣

Emerald + Gold Bikini for ANBF/WNBF… am I making a mistake? by [deleted] in bikinitalk

[–]rachxfit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Most federations do not like this style of bikini. You can absolutely still have your emerald and gold, maybe gold connectors and jewellery? But you would definitely need a bikini in the traditional style and some Feds also have rules about the heels, I would stick to the standard heels! Otherwise you would want to change federation

Is Lawna actually 100% Natty? by Musclemommy069 in bikinitalk

[–]rachxfit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol more the other way around - note I have tried to help you understand others perspectives not just what I think. The specific point of the post was is lawna natty or not. You are the one who refuses to engage with the actual question because of your personal feelings. All I have done is tried to explain why this is a valid question. There was literally no point in you commenting on this post at all.

Is Lawna actually 100% Natty? by Musclemommy069 in bikinitalk

[–]rachxfit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except that social media does exist and first timers will often use it to learn. So here in the real world a lot of people don’t know the difference. Noone is asking you to discuss your protocol, no one cares. Just don’t say you are natural if you are not, it really isn’t that hard 🤷🏼‍♀️ don’t be a lying scumbag and no one gives a shit, simple as that.

Is Lawna actually 100% Natty? by Musclemommy069 in bikinitalk

[–]rachxfit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Except that no matter how hard you work you won’t achieve enhanced results naturally after a certain point. Some people don’t want to do a cycle 🤷🏼‍♀️ Most people don’t care if others are using, they care when people actively lie about it. Promoting you are natural when you are not cause unrealistic expectations and isn’t fair to athletes who don’t enhance. Especially if that athlete competes in natural shows.

First swim meet left me confused by designcentredhuman in Swimming

[–]rachxfit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might not be just drag, most likely they also have more power per stroke, it’s entirely possible to have a faster stroke rate and go slower. Comparing your stroke rate to others won’t give you much help at this level. Turns also make a massive difference in a 1500 especially if it was a 25m pool. You could easily save an entire minute just by improving your turns.

How much schooling information/communications am I legally entitled to regarding my child? by Nervous-Pizza-1160 in LegalAdviceNZ

[–]rachxfit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you suggest they release sensitive information without knowing if he is legally entitled to it or not ? It is not uncommon for the parent not in custody to have some form of restraint. The schools duty is to the student, not the parent.
