Got the chance yesturday. Had to go to a seminar about ab's for my fitness class yesturday. As I walked in the room I saw this guy which I've seen before. I remember seeing this guy back in highschool. He pretty much looked exactly the same except for the keg he had developing around the midsection lol. I gave him the benifit of a doubt and sat down to listen. As we went on I was shocked to hear all this B.S he was feeding people. he was misinforming people which I feel is a no no, specially if you suppost to know what your talking about. I stayed quite until he made the comment that if you do 3 sets of romain curls for a month you will lose fat on your love handles. WTF was this guy talking about. Any person with a bit of knowledge about training would know that there is no such thing as localized fat loss. I put my hand up and tought him a lesson lol.. He class soon was turned over to me and I ended up giving the class lol. After class the head of the fitness dep. came to me and asked if I would be able to hold these seminars on a perminant basis. I was flattered but I had to reluctantlydecline;)
 
Good work buff. there are loads of those people around. they pick up a book and instantly become an expert huh. It's not just in this area but all over. We had a staff meeting last week and this twerp they have here gets up and tells us we can learn a new programming language in 2 weeks according to some book. I yelled out 'What'! I'm surrounded by nerds so this type of shit gets noticed.

anyway good work. why don't you give some lectures and make some scratch for your next cycle.
 
you know what I should..I'll go in there and talk to her tomarrow
 
Yeah.. unfortunitely.. there are so many trainers that shouldnt be.. I got ill w/ this little shit the other day. He said something about dips to be and i told him to first grow a couple more inchs before he talks to me and that i would never hire him asa trainer.. ohh and i called him a know it all prick. think that was harsh?

hehehe
 
LOL Yeah I've seen a bunch of trainers that shouldn't be. I remember in one gym I trained at, there was this really over weight guy that was a trainer!?! He was training this lady who wanted to lose weight. I kept thinking to myself, why does this lady think he knows how to help her lose weight, when he can't even do it himself? :rolleyes: IMO a personal trainer shouldn't just be able to read the book and pass the test. You need to have the experience to back up the knowledge.
 
there was agoober trying to help a girl with squats one time, I took my headphones off, while doing deads, walked over and told him if he wasnt going ot show her how to squat correctly dont bring her to the squat rack or she'll hurt herself..

they went the womens section after that.

good job frisco... you werent harsh at all..
