Daily dose of insanity - Crazyenough's log

Damn, may you have the wisdom of staying away from the weights long enough, The perseverence of sticking to your diet and the chance to find the right professionnals.

You already seems to be in good hands

(as for my english, at least 20-25% of the people mainly speaks english around here)

Hope you are having a good week despite the injury... Hope you are able to get back to it soon hon!

I had a great week... made some huge decisions and Im thrilled!
just anxious to lift now... I still dont think that I can do BB squats or anything that puts lots of pressure on my shoulders. Chest is questionable as well...well see how arms feel. It sucks coz the shoulder is involved in most if not all upper body movements to an extent...But the week off was welcomed by my entire body.

Awesome! I am sure that once you are back to 100% your lifts are going to soar.

I am a busy girl. You need to book some time with me now for a workout, or you may not get your chance.

Welcome to my world!!! Sorry to hear you are injured. It SUCKS. You have to be PATIENT and lift like a little girl for the next little while! You'll be better soon if you take it easy. Consider it an "investment" in time.

Damn, thos tix are mucho $$$ !! Where are yall seated?

aiiiiiight, time for an update:


Got back in the gym last night after 10 days off. Light arms day at the gym where Im supposed to start working on the 14th of Dec (I say supposed because well...ill discuss that later lol). Not crazy about the layout and lack of pre-loaded ez bars, along with the fact that there was ONE ez bar only available... anyways... that said, Im in a fackload of pain today... stupid choracco mothafuka...

SO I meet with the GM at the gym last night, and theres another dude being hired... cool.
We get to talking and he's greeeeen, never trained a single soul, not certification, just CPR... hmmmm ok....

So the GM comes around gives us our contracts and WTFFFFFFF Im starting at the same rate as this guy, even tho I have hands on experience, 3 certifications (one of which is nutrition based training) and CPR. Sooooo, above and beyond that, when he made me an offer he asked me to start fulltime right away, so I resigned from my current position and last night he states first 2 weeks will only be about 10 hours of training... uhhhhh? I could have totally kept my job and done this...The kicker:

the rates Im hired at and those shown to me during interviews are completely different...well, 1.50 different per hour... thats significant to me.

So now Im a little confused and pissed and wondering if its just fear and anxiety talking or if all of these feelings are justified...

To add salt to the wound, the GM gave us a speach about how he insist his staff train and live the fitness lifestyle, etc... He gets on the floor to train and WTFFFFFF ... dude is way out of shape...

Disillusionned much?? lololol

[blsmith]

wow... that is seriously whacked. There is no reason why you should have the same salary as this other guy. Unless that is a "probation" rate and then when you prove yourself it goes up. I don't know.

Hope you are feeling better hon! Take care of yourself!

If it's GL, that's to be expected. They were gonna start me at $29/hour (same as all level 2 trainers) even though I have certifications AND an exercise phys degree.

Hope you find what you're looking for Hun

That would be level 3 trainers...level 2 is what they wanna start me at, which is $20/hour... and right there, its inconsistent with the $21.50 shown in interview... I is rather disappointed with the ''fine print'' strategy for hire... Am I ever gald that I insisted on seeing the contract BEFORE MY FIRST DAY rather than upon it, as they originaly suggested.

They say If u have Canfit + 1 more cert. ure level 3... Then how am I entry level? I is confoodoodled! lol

Thanx for ur support despite my ranting guys... Im being a big baby today!
