Sometimes I can’t tell who the trainer is when they’re with a client.

@TemJuul

At this point you don't even need a personal trainer when channels like this exist

@josephvillaflor6302

I'm a personal trainer at a big box gym and I complety agree.

@eryk4030

Couldn’t agree more with you Sean. As a beginner in the gym, I thought personal trainers are very useful (but I couldn’t afford one back then). Now, after years of lifting, I see how “useful” they and their exercises truly are ;P

@jasehipolito8209

I once overheard a trainer tell his client that the reason his stomach gets upset after drinking protein shake is the body's way of getting rid of fat 🙃

@lifeofyuno

80% is being generous.

@Furkan_Cakir

You NEED a degree + muscle to be credible. Most only have 1 of the 2

@sethmewes161

I don’t got money for a personal trainer I just learned this shit

@MrKdb91

Ngl I’m a trainer and because of that fact it gives me imposter syndrome af lol. I know what I’m doing I’ve been into fitness for well over 15 years but I decided to get certified this past year to help people. The perfectionist in me makes me feel like I don’t know what I’m doing until I’m actually talking to clients and realize my hundreds of hours doing research on exercises, splits, periodization and perfecting form over the years isn’t something to disregard. I’ve helped people all the time, but getting paid to do so makes me feel like a fraud 😅

@nichtsistkostenlos6565

I learned a long time ago that personal trainers were often shysters when I went to check out a free personal training session at a gym that I joined and I told him I was interested in strength training. We spent half the session doing a bunch of cardio on the treadmill and the other half doing a random crossfit circuit. I was asking whether this was a good strength routine and he said it was. At the end of the session, he told me he charges $150 an hour. Luckily, I knew something about strength training from high school and from that point forward, I ignored him and everything he said and I've never approached a personal trainer ever since.

@garyg7255

Absolutely agree. Most do not pay attention to their clients.

@nevermindmyname813

this is so true. I'm not even certified, but I know for a fact that I could train people better than the trainers at my gym

@cayden5738

I would say the main parts of being a personal trainer: 1. make sure your clients are hitting every compound lift and muscle group pertaining to their frequency in the gym per week 2. track and utilize progressive overload as anybody should 3. make nutritional comments when approached about them, some places you are risking your certification when you try to consult your clients on nutritional advice

@915tarponlegend

As a NASM certified PT, who almost never used his certificate, what I would say is personal training is more about motivation and technique guidance. Most people can comprehend weightlifting is good and cardio is good and how to do cardio, and how to do basic weightlifting. But what they want are technical answers: what’s optimal, what forms to use, how can I use exercise for my specific goal, rep ranges, etc

@kartikpant

Thank God I have a really good trainer. He didn't even ask me to lift weights. He is focusing on my posture, weak muscles and movement training first and once I have mastered this then only move to weight training. But I remember my last trainer who was just pushing his personal suppliments to the client.

@astronomy_v

I’m trying to become a NASM certified personal trainer and some of the stuff they teach in the text book they force you to learn is just wrong. But most gyms look for that certification to get hired.

@felipemorales4901

This is so true. I see these “trainers” training people and they’re more interested in flirting with clients than actually training them. And they never fix they’re technique or give them a proper training regimen.
