Thread: Robin's Progress

Originally posted by davidjasondean
As privileged as I may seem this is short term (6 days a week) deal for Robbin. 4 weeks of 6 days training. She will continue this regmine after 4 weeks, without me!

However, when I get back, I will probably allow her to use my services, for whenever she needs it, ONLY.

It's simple because I train people to when they have enough knowledge they can go on and do it themselves because technically, I truly believe the continuance of hiring/needing a trainer for every session is a waste of money to an extent. (Unless their training for a competition which is not in my persona) (I usually shuffle them off to my friend's that are NPC, IFBB pro's etc.)

Why I do this it may not make any sense (financial loses) but my clients will give me more clients.

I have a person from W. Palm Bch that wants me to drive 1 hour to and 1 hour back to train her. This will start in 5 weeks.

I have another gentleman who wants me to train him and I have declined his offer due to the fact I'm going away.

Another former client wants me to train her mother (oh brother!?) in which I may decline.

You see here ladies and gents, Personal Training is not my actual profession as I am in school but it IS a good money maker!

I train people and I train them hard to the point I want them to make Fitness (whatever it may be) an everyday life and love. I would like them to transfer the knowledge I gave them to give to their friend's and family.

This is why I treat BB/Fitness seriously bc/ it's a passion! Either you love being there or you hate it!

David you da man! She is doing great and sounds very strong even in the areas where you say she's weak e.g. bicep/triceps, and a few others....

You're the Nazi of PT! LOL!

You are tough on them but hey, maybe that makes them work harder too...

Hey Sweetie!

Long time no hear!

No, I'm not a Nazi PT! I'm an angel!

I stressed to her last week that "I don't like being in the gym for 5 hours a day but I choose to train you bc/ I believe in you!" I further mentioned that if I am there then, I'm going to make the most out of it! I told her that she should do the same, otherwise, I will leave and she can leave and then maybe, finally, we'll figure out from there what all that time was spent for!"

I told her, "see that person (they doing the wrong form), they need a trainer and I would love to train them and that I see that person everday. I would much rather train a person that is willing, wanting to train and have "heart" in the workout etc. for FREE!" Then, to stand and waste time and listen to someone bicker and bitch.

Now, she has turned out to be one of my best clients and her mother wrote me a note saying, "whatever you've been doing to my daughter, keep it up!" Everything is changing. Body, School striving for her Master's degree, attitude and positivity on life etc.

Thanks for popping in Lina!

Stay in touch!

Oh yeah, when I started I had no idea how to lift weights until my trainer helped me. I secretly was taking notes. Then after a few months I went and did it myself and never stopped. My form may not be the best, but I am getting some results. I'm still learning as I go.

I thought about getting my Physical Training certificate (one of those... not sure which one) But I feel that I have yet much to learn before I can really help people. I just know some of the basics. I ask people all the time in the gym if they can show me how to use cables and so forth. People can be pretty nice when someone wants to learn.

You should get certified. Hmmn. Which one? ISSA, ACE, etc. whole bunch of them out there now!

You gotta love the PT industry, though!

My last training session (weekly) with Robbin is today!

Chest/Tri's/Abs

Yeah, I'm was going to try for the lesser kind (ACE) or that's what I've been told. I gave up on the idea though, cause I have so much more to learn. How did the last training session go david?

Well, due to the fact that she knows mentally that she won't have to push herself hard, only time will tell (3 weeks that is) if their will be any improvements! I warned her when I get back that we will go into phase II and I'm changing up her workout.

I have given her a program to slowly build upon her gains at this point and to focus more on nutrition, heavy cardio/moderate weights with high repetition so we'll see what the results are or excuses are in that manner.

I have yet to see this thread and Mr. One liner Likes it.

Good Job PT Nazi.
