some of the things that make me happy as a fitness pro
ByIt wasn’t that long ago I had a rant about some of the things that piss me off about being a fitness pro but if I hated doing what I do I wouldn’t do it. There are at least as many things that I find rewarding because believe me its definitely not about the money. Here are a couple.
A bride to be last year joined my bootcamp and ordered her dress 3 sizes smaller then she was. When it was time to get refitted right before the wedding it was “too big” and had to be taken in.
A girl I trained worked up to a 75lb turkish getup. An admirable feat of strength for a male. (and she rubbed it in to the boys as well)
A 50+ guy went to take a stress test and they had to turn the treadmill all the way to the fullest extent to get any kind of a reading. Apparently slightly above a walking pace tires most people out. As he was walking out they asked him what kind of exercise program he was on. His response “My personal trainer is a bit of a rebel. He has me flipping tires and swinging kettlebells.”
It seemed at one point the base of my clientele were divorced women who were walked on their entire marriages by their exhusbands. My job was to get them lean so they can start dating again. More so then the fat loss was seeing the amount of confidence that was gained by them so they wouldn’t get treated like that again.
This blog post that she didn’t even tell me about till awhile after it was posted.
theres more too but its time for me to go train.
