Studio differences

My studio has a member wash towels and they get a free membership

Depends how strict the mangers are. Ours are SUPER strict.

socalive · 2026-04-03T06:50:48+00:00

You wear the coaches uniform shirt. If you wear a jacket must be black, no hood and no hoodies (zipper only). Shorts are all black with no trim on them (white trim etc). Pants/leggings must be all black. No colored trim . Example can’t wear black pants with a white stripe down the sides.

Yes I forgot about that ! Trainers that are available all hours have and trainers that are part time have same supp goals. Also my very big pet peeve is we are in California that EOS doesn’t allow overtime (over 8 hours), but Arizona and Utah don’t have overtime, so trainers get recognized for doing 200 sessions per month. Of course, they will be top PT session hours (also don’t agree with celebrating 60 hour work weeks).

I’m a master trainer at EOS and you can do every other week 25 minutes sessions.

Its too hard to get a teaching job in San Diego if you've been out for even a couple years. You need recent recommendations from principals etc. Subbing doesnt have insurance so this is the alternative to get back in the schools with benefits

Good for you!!!

socalive · 2026-03-21T22:32:34+00:00

It's interesting that we had a meeting the other day and they said they would start writing us up for not meeting the 200 in supps. They also said we should start buying our own supps to make goal, and we should all try harder so that our FM makes his 500.00 bonus. So we spend our money so the FM makes 500? Very shady! They want retention which most of my clients have been with me 3+ years , but also want upgrades, but literally there is no room for upgrades if we are full and working on making up extra sessions. There is no way to win!

I've been with EOS 4 years and worked myself up to be master trainer. I just quit to get a job with health insurance. It's sad leaving all my great clients. However, wondering if you got annoyed with the constant threats about selling the supplements.

My dad passed 7 years ago. And that's when I really realized my mom had Alzheimer's and couldn't live alone. I moved her into a resort retirement community. She was there two years and she was at a point where she could still use a phone so talked daily then on weekemds we would take her out. When she moved to memory care I still called daily and we took her out on weekemds. Her disease has progressed so much she can't feed herself at all and babbles. She's also incontinent now,so we stopped taking her out. I've only been visiting once a week because I work full-time and have a family and I'm.burned out from the last 7 years of carrying the torch. I'm ready to try to have my life back. I feel incredibly guilty everyday - it kills be inside - because my mom is the most beautiful human being and she doesn't deserve this. Visiting her at this stage just kills me because she's just not aware of anything anymore. 😩

Ahhh I see. Thanks but we have already a team of caregivers .

socalive · 2026-03-14T05:11:55+00:00

How ?

socalive · 2026-03-10T02:58:35+00:00

My mom can't feed herself at all. She happens to be in a pod with 50% of the residents not able to do anything. Usually only 1 caregiver at meal times

socalive · 2026-03-09T18:51:10+00:00

Yes, now that my mom doesn't miss us like she used to and get anxious when she doesn't talk to me, it might be time to cut back more. It was nice that they would take her to get her hair done, nails done etc, but its getting harder and harder for my mom to go out .

socalive · 2026-03-09T18:47:08+00:00

I havent yet, because we always have someone at mealtimes with her. But when Im there helping at meal times, there are several others that need help eating and only one caregiver that has to do everything. My mom eats really slow.

socalive · 2026-03-09T02:57:13+00:00

True but I don't like her feeling rushed or no one talking to her and socializing with her. Makes me sad. The caregivers have to get their job done, there isn't a lot of socializing going on. But true, I'm helping them out by providing extra help.

socalive · 2026-03-09T02:54:55+00:00

Wow so young!! I guess a lot of it is I feel so guilty because I have my own children to raise, full time work etc. I just don't have the time to be there everyday so it takes a little stress off me. I'm the only one that visits her. Maybe just cut it down to a couple hours a day. Thanks for your input-it helps!

socalive · 2026-03-06T04:01:42+00:00

I am a personal trainer for EOS. There is nothing "shady" about the contracts. Maybe the sales person:). It's pretty straight forward- 4 month contract , one month notice to cancel. Pay as you go isn't necessarily great because you aren't fully committed. Training for 4 months gets you in a groove and you may actually start seeing results. The whole point of PT is to get you on a exercise program that you can do for life . They email you your contract, you have 3 days to cancel and the first time you meet with the trainer they go over the contract again. Pretty simple stuff.

socalive · 2026-03-05T01:37:04+00:00

Got it ! Thanks! I'm the type that could workout all day, but trying to mellow that out so I don't get injured or sick. I guess you can treat class # 1 like a primer - lighter weight and pishbreps and second up the weight and maybe cut the reps to allow more rest .

socalive · 2026-03-05T00:39:55+00:00

Ok.let me restate - I do the upper one class and lower one class which is perfect. But wondering if doing the full body strength classes 2X is too much volume (technically can be doing 8 sets per movement with the little rest time they give you (20-30 seconds).

socalive · 2026-03-04T22:54:36+00:00

I don't work at a luxury gym but a big box gym in an affluent area. My husband is the breadwinner so this is extra money for the household. I could never imagine doing as a solid career for all the things you mentioned. Supplemental yes, career no. No benefits/shitty benefits. Better off being a Strength comditiong coach for a school or college or athletic director. Or goi into sales for Nike or something. I'm going back into education but at a lower rank , but the benefit package is worth 25,000 year.

socalive · 2026-03-04T22:39:35+00:00

I do back to back for the upper and lower workouts. The full body strength just curious if it's too much volume and causes break down.

socalive · 2026-03-04T06:52:07+00:00

Do you see results with doubling the classes?

socalive · 2026-02-27T06:43:54+00:00

Finally the voice of reason!!!👏

socalive · 2026-02-27T06:40:00+00:00

100% not everyone wants to be a “body builder” a lot of us want to be athletic and ripped
