- PERSONAL TRAINER - PET PEEVES ! - (Some Simple Truths!) -

Pet Peeves ! F*CKING (SMALL RANT TIME!) 

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 

- So called 'Personal Trainers' who are neither Qualified nor 'Insured' to take Individuals, never mind Group Sessions for Fitness. You should NEVER have to Sign a basically 'DON'T SUE ME FORM!' prior to exercise if so ALARM BELLS SHOULD RING! THIS IS WRONG ! . . . 


- Personal Trainers Who DO NOT ! 'Practice what they preach !' You want to be Motivated to follow by example not led by bad example. = FACT!


- Personal Trainers Who are ADVOCATE/ASSOCIATES themselves with any kind of Liquid Diet or Replacement Scheme I'm talking Herb4Life/Juice Plus . Well Done on going against the VERY BASICS of what you should have learnt. (SHOULD BE ASHAMED!) Anything that replaces VALID SOLID FOODS ! Christ (I'll even give Weight-watchers a thumbs up instead of Liquid Diets! ¬_¬ ) Also I didn't realized you'd all had your teeth knocked out and were in need of Liquid food from Jaw being wired shut etc . . . . 


- Just because someone exercises ? Does this make them Personal Trainers ?! NO COURSE NOT ! Lets see some Credentials ! Are they Accredited ? Do they hold VALID LICENSES ? INSURANCE ? QUALIFICATIONS for CORRECT PURPOSE and More ! ? If they Don't why are you using/taking/ advice from them ?! . . . Beats me !


- PT's WHO DON'T further their Education! I learnt this the HARD WAY !YES I'm a PT/ YES I have a FD, but what else ohhhhh that's right i went off to study a Bsc(Hons) Why ? Your Clients want to be reassured they are getting the best. You need to stand out from the crowd. Consistent further Education not only helps you as an individual and improves your Knowledge but that knowledge can then be passed onto your Clients. Ask to see your PT's Credentials its YOUR HARD EARNED CASH! Don't be SCARED! 


- Personal Trainers who over step their reach and DON'T KNOW THEIR BOUNDARIES! If you don't know the answer to a specific question in regards to an individuals Health DON'T ANSWER. Pass them onto someone else who does. You will not only gain MORE RESPECT from that said individual but you not have put their Health at Risk trying to treat or Help something off which you know NOTHING ABOUT! Use the Community you have and people you know bounce of each-other and learn together rather than thinking EVERYONE IS THE ENEMY ! And thinking about MONEY or OH NO i'm losing out on MONEY ! 



- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 

DON'T SELL OUT YOUR BELIEFS ! REMEMBER YOUR ETHICS AND CODE OF CONDUCT YOU SIGNED UP FOR WHEN BECOMING A PERSONAL TRAINER, AND THE BASICS OF WHAT YOU ALL LEARNED ! I'D MUCH RATHER HAVE RESPECT THEN BELIEVE MONEY WAS EVERYTHING ! QUALITY OVER QUANTITY ANY DAY ! I could write so much more but i'll leave it there ! ¬_¬  

- Some people just make me think! Why the HELL did you become a Personal Trainer in the 1st Place ! -
