I'm growing a full beard. It's finally coming out of its awkward growth phase and looking better but here's the thing, I refuse to shave. In fact, I'm such a proponent of being able to express...

RamDen,

In case you were wondering, I consulted with a physical therapist and she said that the fatter grip would be a bit beneficial but a better bet will be to use cuff weights. I'm looking more...

Thank you, I'll check out the link. That was my concern. He can't completely close his hand, so I was thinking a fatter grip but I don't want it to be more challenging.

I see this client on...

Hello everyone,

I tend to work with the elderly and people are are suffering from chronic conditions or injuries. I just acquired a client with psoriatic arthritis. He already has visible joint...

I used to work with clients who have Parkinson's disease. Each one was different and had different levels of activity that they could handle. I found a lot of success when choosing exercises that...

I agree with the above posts. All good advice. I can tell you that you have to have a passion for it because, like all careers, there are moments of frustration and it's not always fun. In fact, it...

I considered doing online training and I was looking to use Trainerize. I tested it with a client and she really enjoyed it. I just put in the exercises I wanted her to do, attached the vids, and...

From my experience, the last thing clients seem to be concerned with is how I look. However, I have noticed that male clients who are looking to get huge are often more attracted to the huge...

Congratulations on passing! I am also certified through ACE. The reason I chose ACE is because it so widely accepted. It is accredited, the name is recognized, and it's accepted at most any gym that...

Good advice everyone. I was also considering the fact that they are doing all of my marketing right now and that will probably stop once we go this route. I'm also considering taxes along with how...

The practice tests and the exam review were the most helpful for me. You want to know what you're walking into on test today and I always count on being over prepared. I scored really well on the...

Thanks you guys. 70/30 seems fair.

It definitely takes a lot of time to build a client base so in the mean time I would work to pay the bills but then put the rest of your effort into training. Right now, I'm full time as a trainer...

I'm currently training at a local gym and I was talking with the owner today and he said that the opportunity exists for me to set my own prices and guidelines and just pay the gym a portion of my...

I don't like locking people into contracts. The training company at my gym pushes year long contracts with 294.00 cancellation fee. I feel like contracts show a lack of value in the product because...

Thanks for the advice. I do appreciate it. For the time being, I think my best bet is to try and build a reputation and build a skill set from the commercial gym even though I'm at ideological odds...

You seem to come here and ask a lot of questions in regards to this ****ty chain gym. Perhaps its time to look elsewhere for work until you feel strong enough to do your own thing. That is a thing...

I don't know if you were "scammed" but it sounds like typical salesman tactics. I just recently learned that some of these "trainers" will purposely make their clients experience DOMS as a way to...

I'm not an independent trainer, rather I work for a franchise gym in a rural town. I've been working there as a personal trainer and group exercise instructor for seniors. I recently finished by...

Custom Built Personal Training**

The gym I work at has contracted with this company. Just curious if anybody has any experience with the company.

Thanks!
