I remember you from when I was a lurker here. Good to have u back.

P.S. Sorry for whoring up your journal. I need to hit 3,000 posts today.

I don't not like it. I don't love it though. It has its ups and its downs. I mean, I would love it if I were say a strength and conditioning coach for a professional or college team.

The ups:

1. beats working in and office at a desk any day
2. never have to dress up for work
3. make your own schedule
4. get to help people achieve their goals which is extremely rewarding when it happens.
5. free gym membership
6. when you are busy you are making some solid money!

the downs:
1. you have to rely on people to be there. no clients this week means no money this week. summer time there is a big drop off. i went from being really busy to almost nothing and it will be that way for the next 2 months!! hope i saved up enough this year!

2. training the general public isn't all it's cracked up to be. you get people that complain and are annoying. people that have never done anything in the lives and can't move or coordinate movement well and teaching them is like pulling teeth (make sure you are patient....I am not that patient so it is really hard for me).

3. people always want to argue with you and tell you how you should be training them.....wiate a minute I am the professional here. you are paying me!!!! See what I am saying? You get tired of arguing your point and I usually resort to the famous "because I said so...now do it." since I again, have little patience...lol



All in all it is a good job though. I enjoy doing it. I am not knocking it that bad. If you think you can make it work out then I think it is a good idea for you to switch careers. I am much happeir their then when I used to work in offices.

I'd just hit them in the head with a 5lb plate and say "GET TO WORK".

I'm good with people.

I usually just make fun of the ones I don't like until they go and complain to my manager and say that I am an asshole.

Thanks for the info! I can definitely see how all of that would suck, but its gotta be better than sitting behind this computer all day with managers breathing down my neck. I'm already feeling the summer slowdown. The owner claimed that he had a few clients for me and now he's saying he's got nothing this week.

Yeah, now you will have a personal training manager breathing down your neck saying "why aren't you hitting your numbers? do you numbers! you have to do 40 a pay period or we will let you go...blah, blah, blah!"

My Threads Been Jacked!

I think this guy will be cool. Its a private studio, he has his own clients, and takes a cut of mine. So far, he's been pretty laid back. Time will tell.
