i'm pretty sure i've gotten LESS business as a result of being pretty built, just because i work at a p***y type place where everyone(except people i train) is totally worthless. one of my clients who is really thin and very strong was talking about me to one of her coworkers, and the lady said, "oh i've seen him, he has a lot of muscles, why would you want him to train you?"

saw a bro doing leg presses with each side maxed out on plates. he's got a trainer on one side and some random that he asked for help on the other side both pushing. actually pushing not just spotting. he proceeds to bang out a few 1/8 rom presses then puts his hands on his knees to assist for a few more reps. I can just imagine all the bragging he's going to be doing tomorrow as he rings up the regulars at GNC.

Correct response here is, "WTF does that mean, lady?"

Pretty big WTF moment today at the gym. Saw a guy, who might be Rowdy Roddy Piper, sitting on a bosu ball with some apparatus around his neck and chin attached to a cable machine with ~30lbs hanging from it. He sat there for 5 minutes until someone helped him out of his contraption. He then spent the next 20 minutes shadow boxing himself in the mirror and hanging from a pull up bar stretching.

Jesus...incoming falcon punch

Probably has the classic chick fallacy that she'll get musclebound overnight if she picks up anything heavier than a 3lb pink dumbbell, and if she lets a gross muscley guy like you train her, you'll mercilessly force her to lift heavy stuff.

Oriental running. Legit cardio.

Some new girl is working at the gym, very tall and petitie part-Vietnamese looking girl. She's dressed up hot and skanky too, extremely tight clothes on a good body, lots of make up and jewelry, she's hot, but in a slightly trashy sort of way. Apparently it's her first day (overhead some dudes making conversation with her, see above description).

She and some trainer were talking to these huge fat women at one of the little desks when I came in.

Sure enough 15-20 minutes later they're bringing them over to the free weights area and line them up and are having them do curls with 5 lb weights.

It was such a bizarre trainwreck to behold, these two fat women who weigh at least 250 lb, a trainer, and some south asian hoochie all in a row doing sychronized curls with 5 lb'ers.

Why did you feel the need to mention that she's ASIAN??????????????


unbelievably racist

bad comparison as Van gundy is clearly limited by his physical short fallings. Anyone can be in good shape if they eat right and follow a strict workout regiment.

if a personal trainer can't motivate himself to be in good shape ( not even talking about bring totally ripped) not sure why anyone would think he could do any better for them.

I lol'd.

Probably trying to bring BarryG's attention to H&F.

While doing my leg/back rehab I have been yelling sporadic racial slurs due to the pain. Generally no one is in the gym except a white kid that I train.

FYP.

I generally skip that one. White people are oppressed enough.
