I'm very curious to gauge how personal trainers feel about their jobs at big box gyms. What do you like? What don't you like? A little about me: I was a CPT at a big box gym for about 6 months before becoming jaded at how sales focused the job is and how little it seemed the management cared...

I know a trainer on Facebook who claims he never cut and bulked, he always achieved what he calls "lean gains" so he gains muscle without gaining fat. Is there any science behind this, or is he a charlatan? I'm interested in hearing what personal trainers here have to say about this.

I was recently hired at L.A. Fitness as a Membership Sales Counselor. I needed a job badly so I threw caution to the wind. Everyone seems very shady. The managers keep showing off their Rolex watches. They keep talking about their 100K salaries. It just gives a wrong vibe. I started researching...

Have any of you heard of the new reality show "Fit 2 Fat 2 Fit", that is about personal trainers who purposely gain lots of fat so they can understand their overweight clients? Then they work out together to lose the fat. It's supposed to be inspirational. I'm not a trainer but I am interested...
