My favorite is that you cannot out train bad nutrition.

I would definately do the HR monitor.

Also get back to real basics. Fitday is a great tool but only if used correctly. Get her to weight absolutely everything she eats and measure all she...

I would also ask what they think my job description is, and how exactly I am going to help them. This normally weeds out the ones who think just having a personal trainer but not changing their...

I have confiscated clients scales before now. Also they have to trust you. I usually mention that if their system works they would have lost weight and would not even need my advice (more...

Fire him and find a personal trainer that:

a. Understands the word personal in that a client gets 100% of my attention and energies every session. Also that the word personal means every single...

Amen to that, I might even put that into my contract and have them sign it.

Original poster, sounds like she would not have dropped the 50lbs in 2 months and told everyone you were crap and killed...

If you learn to understand your body and what it is saying to you then you can work this way - I do and I have gained more than ever.

Downside as mentioned before, you cannot tell unless you keep...

repped for that one liner - priceless

Just my advice. Have you checked that the clubs you mention would accept the training award you are studying.

I'm with Kyle on this one. I do not do a bodyfat test unless specifically asked. I do not routinely weigh my clients either. Girth measurements and how they feel and how their clothes fit are...

Its easy bro, all ya need is the hundred system.

Every day do 10 x 10 bench press and 10 x 10 arm curls so 7 days a week you are doing 100 of each exercise. Form does not matter, its the weight...

A professional opinion is they are totally inaccurate.

To my mind unless you are a professional athelete do you really need to know your bodyfat percentage or would a good old tape measure, how...

Sounds like you need an old fashioned iron gym and an old fashioned iron PT. Try and seek out one in your area.

When I learnt to feel the muscle I was training actually working so I knew if I was hitting it right.

When I stopped isolation moves for each body part once a week and went compound 3 times a...

Exactly, because its a healthy fat it must be good for you so therefore its a licence to deep fry your doughnuts in it to make them a healthy snack so you can eat them all day.

I agree with diet. I also agree with all trainers should be checking it, clients need to know we care, they need a warm fluffy feeling.

I am thinking of creating a fitday account for my clients...

Beat me to it. Only train for over an hour if you are training for an endurance event. I took on a client not so long ago whose previous trainer insisted on 2 hour sessions. She was amazed that we...

You absolutely, definately can do it, just not in a place like that.

Keep searching mate, the job you want is out there.
