Re: trainer

[Guest guest]

You better not go back! Find someone else. He will do nothing but make you

feel bad about your decision! You need a trainer that is going to be supportive

of your decision. And I would be contacting the gym to let them know how he

treated you.

You know its so typical, so many people believe we all

are just lazy and if we just would have excersized we

wouldn't be heavy. What a turd not to be supportive

of your efforts to get " healthy " . My old boss worked

with a personal trainer who was FAB at first but when

maxed out on the program he prescribed the guy

was attempting to strong arm him into to taking

illicit supplements. Now, I realize nt all personal

trainers are like this, but remember, they don't have

all the answers. Keep your head up, and stay on task

with your goals. You are doing the right things and

you will be AMAZING, with or without this trainer!

Besides, many trainers are no better than used car

salesmen....just trying to earn a buck without regard

to the client.

Be strong,

Good Morning everyone! Had a great workout yesterday!!!!!Pool was

excellent!!!! But what really made it great was, I had time in the pool

to think...If I fire this guy he might do this to someone else, so I

decided to educate him! So I went looking for him. I told him that from

now on I would not tolerate any negativity, that he worked for me (at

least for the next 4 sessions and he needed to keep an eye on me

because I was gonna prove him wrong! I told him how much thought and

research I had put into this decision I had made and for him to come

into the picture and spout his opinion like that was uncalled for! Then

I asked if he could work with me under those conditions...He

appoligised. He didnt realise he had made me feel that way. I told him

I was determined to take back my life and I would rather have him on

board than not! (I need someone to push me!) So in the days to come I

will have an opportunity to educate him on his thoughts about wls.

Thank You guys for giving me some great advice!
