[QUOTE=WoofieNugget;1070886061]What I'm more concerned about is that there are two people who want to hire someone who isn't even certified yet and are eager to start. /QUOTE]
Joys of a free market.

Yes.

Why would they be off-limits? Let them try it. Is no-one allowed to ask your clients to do Zumba, either? Or running group? Or yoga? Pilates? Swim class?

My gym runs a crossfit clone. My clients...

Crossfit is not the issue here, it could be powerlifting or marathon running or Zumba. Crossfit could be perfect and brilliant, or it could be sht and injurious, that's irrelevant, it's not the...

Another look here, Canada is listed as a member of ICREPS, but they don't have the registration equivalents listed on the pdf I put in above, odd. Perhaps they're a recent member and haven't sorted...

As far as I know, no. The ICREPS system arranges this between the UK, Ireland, EU, Australia, NZ and South Africa. Qualifications are not recognised, but registration is recognised, the level...

1. stop counting calories, and just fcking eat more - no, more
2. lift heavy sht - no, heavier
3. be patient

Press a 45lb plate each side of the barbell overhead, bench, clean and front squat 2,...

This is not my approach. Higher reps lead to fatigue which breaks down form. 5s are a good number for most free weight exercises, enough to stimulate a change without being so many that form breaks,...

I don't worry too much about that. I just try to make sure they do either more weight, more reps or more sets in every session than they did before. 20 is about the most reps I'll ever have them do,...

That's probably true for the clueless curlbros and cardio bunnies of the world, which includes most of the population of this website. However, the regulars in the gym do look and notice things. They...

I would say that, too. I've only had one person I couldn't get to do a below parallel squat within 3 weeks. He was in his 30s, but had osteoarthritis in his hips, we did improve his range of motion...

It comes to the same thing. Nobody is born knowing how to do a barbell squat or kettlebell swing, they have to be taught correct movement from the ground up. Lying by omission is lying, and failing...

Don't overcomplicate things, guys. He's a 15yo boy. He doesn't need to count calories or macros, and anyway even if needs to he won't do it - he's a 15yo boy. The typical 15yo male is expending...

If your coach expects you to hit "mid-200s" in bodyweight, then your coach either doesn't mind if you get chubby, or else he expects you to take anabolic steroids. Alternately he's an idiot and...

Same way I supported myself while studying, savings. While preparing for the career change and looking for where to study at, etc, I saved up.

It also encouraged me to get off my arse and work...

If you're in there for 3 hours, you're either using weights much lighter than you can actually handle, or you're spending a lot of time fcking around between sets, "talking to my bros, texting my...

We get some real champs here.

Thanks for sharing your experience, missmurray, something for the OP to pass on to his client.

You've made the right decision in seeking help from EPs and the like. The funny thing is that when you say, "I don't know," they actually trust you more... since when you do say you know something,...
