What I’m about to say might surprise you.
No.
See I have been working in gyms for close to 10 years now and I have observed these animals in their natural habitats doing their thing.
And to be brutally honest I am very disappointed.
They all do the same thing;
Smash their clients to make them believe they are getting the results
The technique is poor.
The trainer doesn’t know why they are doing that exercise with their client to beging with, they just saw it in this month’s magazine.
Quite often they are not even paying attention to their client.
They are just looking for their next sale elsewhere.
This is bad and very unprofessional.
Personal trainers are not all the same.
If you’re thinking of getting a trainer you need to choose them wisely because some are good and some are pants!
This is why I don’t even call myself a personal trainer.
Because I get put in the same bucket as the rest of them.
Personal trainers believe they can do everything and train everyone.
That just makes them very “vanilla”, a “jack-of-all-trades”.
I would decribe myself as an Injury and Weight Loss Specialist. Not a personal trainer.
I train 2 types of people here in Central London;
People with injuries
Women who want to lose weight.
That’s it!
So next time you’re looking for a trainer, watch them training and interacting with other people.
They need to be a good fit with you!
That’s all for now
