Client got mad over a joke i made

[irish212]

Assessing a new client this morning. Obese middle aged guy says he hasint been in the gym for some time. I lol'd and said that's for sure.

He also said he felt very doughy around the midsection.

Later in the workout I said " keep going dough boy" making a joke out of his earlier comment.

Guy obviously has no sense of humour as he said he will be going to a diff rent PT from now on.

Not a single **** was given by me.

Sounds like you're passionate about your career

[nickh04]

[MustardTiger17]

[KingKringe]

[bee su]

thread back fire. good job dufuz

[ANumber1]

If there's one thing I've learned in life, it's that joking around with work relationships is a huge risk. It just isn't worth it. You don't need the LOLs.

Its from the song dough boy fresh lmao I'm a straight shooter if guy doesn't like it then he can go to another pt who might say oh no bro you look great (60% bf) just need to do some cardio lol

[KC2892]

Wanna know how I know you're bullchitting about being certified? 4chan & misc doesn't hand out certs, and no gym would keep you on with that kind of "professional" demeanor.

Not so much can be said about ur mom

[Ivan7x]

[ProfessorBro]

keep going potato eater

That was pretty unprofessional, regardless if he said it earlier or not. You don't need to reiterate his insecurities that he is confiding in you about and solely because of your professional dynamic you were going to engage in - especially jokingly.

It isn't his loss, it's yours. You obviously do care or you wouldn't have made a thread trying to drum up support for your bad call.

Its not about looking great it's about being professional without being a dick bro. He's obviously trying to better himself then the trainer he gets bashes him for being fat. Gonna be funny when you go to interview for a career that actually pays well and he's the guy interviewing you

[TheBrentmeister]

Keep going dough boy

[JRMoore82]

Cool. So a "dough boy" client finally wanted to make a positive change with his life and he went to a paid professional (and I'm using that term very loosely here) to get ridiculed.

Great positive reinforcement.

Edit. Brotein and his ****ing wizardry.

Jup obviously no fukks given...

[TheBrentmeister]

I personally don't see what's wrong. Client sounds like a pussy - should use comments like that as motivation. I'd rather have tough comments to drive me than fake, suck up compliments srs.

Did you share this thought with your drill instructors when they were chewing your fat ass on the PT lessons

[notsrsbutsrs]

thread back fire. good job dufuz

well well well, what do we ass here?

[CharolaisBull]

Phuck him. You don't want to be training fat people anyways.

[PrehistoricUFO]

I'm a PT not his phucking girlfriend

No you aren't. PTs worth a damn don't ridicule their clients. You're supposed to teach discipline and motivate when required.

Not re-use hurtful terms that remind them why they're in this situation.

Never go full retard dude, I mean that.
