I'm still rebuilding my workout routines without a gym, but my personal trainer friends have been looking for ways to connect with fans and make some extra income given the extended isolation many of us are experiencing from COVID-19. My friend and I built a tool to let personal trainers and other...

Hey! I am looking for an online trainer to help me shed some weight. I'm not new to gym. I was a powerlifter in my 20s and dabbled in bodybuilding in my 30s. I will be 40 this year and I am looking for someone to create a meal plan and workout plan to get me shredded up. I will take before,...

You presumably didn't have any acquaintance with it at that point, however, the exercise center classes you took during your school years impacted the individual you became. In the event that you had all around shown invigorating classes in the exercise room, you learned significant physical...

Hello, I am doing some research with a psychologist on how to determine if an individual is a good fit for personal training (either in-person or online). For example, what personality characteristics, goals, demographic factors, etc... determine if someone is likely to follow-through from...

What does a fitness coach do? Numerous athletic coaches work in wellness focuses, yet some others work for instructive administrations or medical clinics, contingent upon their forte. Where you work will decide your day by day obligations, however normal obligations for an individual athletic...

Hello. So, I decided that my website desperately needs a thematic overhaul if I want it to look like I'm offering services seriously and not just a blog page. I've been looking around myself via google and Wordpress, as that's what I'm using and I was hoping that perhaps some of you could please...

Hey trainers, Quick question, I’ve started getting bad impingement in my left shoulder from any overhead exercise. Never been a problem after a lifetime of training till now. I’ve noticed that my left scapula is winging a lot now too. I feel it when I sit in a car seat or lie on my back. I...

Where can I read about different programs? Just got certified in personal training. Have a background in strength focused training. Know a lot about training, but nervous about creating programs. What reading can I do?

So i'm new to the world of actually taking care of my body. Im trying to figure out the best plan of action for my anatomy. Let me explain the scenario. So first... i'm an ectomorph, doesn't matter what I eat, I don't bulk. Second, I've become slightly "skinny fat". I have some fat on my...

I immediately took the test after signing up and downloading the app. I wanted to see how much I forgot after 15 years of not being a certified trainer and being out of the fitness culture for approximately the last ten years (up until last January). I did better than I thought I would in some...

I failed the test twice. I have a nasm got that I got on my own merit (not that there's much of a choice). I used my notes, the textbook, and some of Google to pass. I answered most questions on my own and got a 75%, but I'm not too hyped about it. I honestly feel kind of ashamed really. I need the...

Hello, I am a member of a large chain gym, and I have had a personal trainer there since December (about 60 days now). At the start, I was about 100 pounds overweight. With her help (2x a week), I have lost significant weight (about 25 pounds so far), and she's better then other trainer's I've...

Good morning, from your experience, what are your biggest hurdles/challenges as personal trainers in working with clients?

Hi there! My name is Pierre, I am new to this forum. I created an account as I am a starting my freelance career as personal trainer and I am struggling to get paid in time as my clients say bank transfer is a hurdle. They ask me if I could accept cash or take the card, but I don't want to pay any...

I'm thinking about learning yoga and want to know who I should follow.

i have seen some videos and read scientific articles(?) that suggest that workout volume is the only thing necessary for muscle hypertrophy means workout volume=weights x reps x sets 1000= 10kgx10x10 equals

I apologize in advance if this isn't the appropriate section to post this question, but I am new to bodybuilding.com and this is my first ever posted question. My question is does anyone else have the problem of everyone asking to be your training partner but haven't figured out a polite way to say...

Took the CSCS for the 1st time today and going into it I had the mindset that it was going to be the hardest test ever. I spent the last couple months really getting down the A&P of the body and all the scientific terms. I then crammed with practice test APPs and online studying the past 3 full...

I posted this elsewhere but didn't get the kind of responses I was looking for. Hard gainer vs. easy gainer First of all, I'm not sure this is in the right section. Which do you think is easier/better? Is it better to be the type of skinny dude who eats everything in sight...
