As we all know, whether we like it or not, sales is a large part of personal training. What are some of your ways that you overcome common objections such as:

$ it costs too much.
I have to ask...

If the client's goals are performance based, this could be true. However, in PT the vast majority of our clients goals are recomposition...something it seems that you know nothing about.

Get in good with the sales staff. Offer to train them for free and show them that you are a good trainer and that you need to grow your clientele. Ask them to throw leads your way in exchange.

Scroll down to Pitbulls...Holy S#!$!!!! Ball don't lie.

THAT is a genius idea!

Whether it was for bludlust, or pleasing their masters...they still wanted to kill. There is still an instinct in a lot of males in a lot of species in this world that want to establish dominance,...

Cutoff Khakis, french braids, and house shoes.

This is correct.

I felt like the exam was my Exercise and Sports Science degree condensed into one test. I read the textbook from cover to cover, answered all of the questions at the end of each chapter, and watched...

One advantage I see in BB is that you CAN do more weight. One can easily do a set of 275-315 with a BB without a spot, while it would be MUCH more difficult for the same person to lift up some 150's...

That is the definition of a subluxation. A dislocation has to be forced back in.

I wouldn't say that she's a dumbass, but that she perpetuates misinformation to make money, such as spot reduction and magic pills. Her show also gives false hope by condensing 8 weeks of work into...

The only thing that I would add are some pull ups or rows. You have nothing that stimulates your biceps or really targets the lats. Deadlift will hit the lats but not like a row or pull up.

LOL @ WOT, but I happen to do that exact thing as part of some of my meals.

Just tell them you are WORKING and on a schedule and that you don't have time to stop and chat.
