I am guessing that it is a corporate gold's. I am the PT Manager at a franchised gold's and we pay for making phone calls, performing consults, and they get 50% of the session rate. 30% is a little...

It is interesting that you bring the certified thing up, I told them in the meeting that being certified is a liability issue and also a standard of professionalism to keep just any joe shmoe from...

Great points, I can't stand half the sht I see on TV anymore. That's this country for ya though, gotta love a little job security. Half the people I end up getting as clients are people who "have...

This is good stuff Joe, he will def be seeing this soon. I know about rhabdo, which is why I have always preached a progressive and adaptive program, but you really brought it to light, the rest of...

Ok, I think that came off wrong, let me explain. In our gym, the instructors go out on the floor and try to pull off members that are working out to come try crossfit for free for a day or two, and...

Thansk ferg, I completely agree with you , kyle, and super. We had our weekly manager meeting yesterday afternoon, and it was a good 2 hrs of us hashing it out. He isn't forcing me to try to get...

Fair enough, can't say I disagree with you on a lot of your points, especially experience and results making a successful trainer in any specialty. Although I try to get as much info as I can on the...

Although I agree with a lot of what you have said Chicago, the reason you see 10 bodybuilders for every 1 crossfitter is culture derived. Everyone wants to be big and grabs M&F or REPS magazine to...

Just curious Hamburger, you have an awesome amount of credentials, credentials that I would expect would give you the knowledge to make you against crossfit, yet I always see you arguing for it. do...

Hey thanks guys, I see a lot of your points, I admit that any training can be bad for a client if it is taught poorly, but crossfit comes with a more popular reputation of putting times and weight...

Hey guys, I have developed a problem with the owner of the gym I work at. I am the PT manager, and we have come to a standstill in regards to crossfit. Long story short, here's the cliffs

I refer people like this to an Rd and I am done with it, if they can't change their lifestyle, then I usually pass them over as a client. I screen my clientele pretty hard though. I can appreciate...

Well what if I told you I was awesome at just about everything?? ;) haha no I see your point, I try to avoid that by putting the time into my program design. There are too many different exercises,...

I completely agree with you kyle, and while I am quite familiar with correcting squat technique, I am sure you know it can be a frustrating cycle with some people. Trying to get someone to do a below...

Just my two cents, correct technique can vary from person to person. Range of motion comes into play, as well as client's overall health and abilities. I have a couple clients that will never reach a...

steak potatoes and milk, eat like a man, look like a man. Also, skip the long distance, your a Middle Linebacker, you need to be incorporating more agility drills in place of these mile runs. The...

Relying on an GP to give you exercise advice is usually not the way to go, the experiences I have had show they don't know jack about fitness. OP you did the right thing in this case though, as most...

I have often pondered this very idea of controlling workload, I am assuming it acts the same as a smith machine in both ways, my only questions is, with so much workload control coming from the...

I am assuming that by weight loss you mean "lose body fat". It's all about your metabolic rates. Caloric deficit doesn't mean jack without a high metabolism to correlate with it. You need to weight...

Ive said it once and I'll say it again, crossfit's blessing and curse is its level of competitiveness. For the "well-trained" olympic lifters, with proper hip and strength development, crossfit is a...
