Coaches that train sportsmen care about making their sports athletes better. Their achievement is based on improving their athletes overall performance on the field/court/ring. The End can be what justifies the means.

Personal training though, you have it all screwed up. The whole industry wants to talk about how important "outcomes" are. Every types clients wants results, you are the results delivery people. And how will you do this? You make #%^ up.

Disagree? Run-down a mental set of the non-public trainers you've encountered who utilize a periodization scheme, who've defined protocols for balance, strength, hypertrophy, and power. Describe your education with Stuart McGills study and Mike Boyles Joint by Joint strategy or the last period you read anything by Verkhoshanky or Yessis or Bondarchuk. Your knowledge of Grey Make and the FMS or Dave Tate and the EliteFTS business?

You understand who John Goodman is? Thomas Plummer maybe?

"Um, John Goodman is just an actor. I have no idea plumber is, is he an actor too?"

... you sorry sorry fellow.

I can let you know the reply, and its going to be considered a long list of NOs.

None of you know anything. Your "education" starts and ends together with your training qualification textbook that you never read. Your "exercises" are whatever the hell you found on YouTube that looked hard. Your own schooling is the stuff you prefer, and you've neither obtained significant lean mass nor improved your athleticism in the last decade. You became a trainer because you "liked working out and employed in a fitness center seemed easy", and that's a direct quote incidentally.

Everyone reading this will probably swear they aren't this sort of trainer, but they can say for certain at least a dozen trainers that match this description properly though.

You'll argue that you do know your stuff though. Your argument will be based on the fact that all you clients tell you that "you're my shrink/psychologist/life trainer". You'll eat that junk up and believe that you're amazing because you understand the condition of everyone's marriage. Then you'll argue that their spending money on assistance because they're unhappy and its own your job to make them happy.

Boy oh boy it really is. Its also your job to obtain BMI below 30 and lower their risk factors that come with being a deconditioned fatass. That's your first job. That's what they employed you for, lest you neglect.

"All my customers get outcomes though!! Except the ones that don't and give up after their starter package or tell me they cant afford training."

That makes a lot of sense. In the end, obesity carries with it no higher healthcare costs over the course of a person's lifestyle. Neither does seated 10 hours a day, eating a diet plan of Costcos frozen food, and implanting your ass to your sofa. Those ideas all lead to happy existence and by no means is a heart attack of type II diabetes in your future.

So what kinds of system is your teaching based around?

Don't reply, because that probably simply confused the hell out you. And please god don't say you're P90X certified. JUST, DON'T, SAY IT

I tire of encountering trainers that feature their results based schooling principles, but haven't any system for generating stronger/skinnier/fiter clients beyond the program they pulled away of their certifications text message book/FLEX magazine/bodybuilding.com. This drives me bloody crazy.

And to answer the question "whatever your qualification textbook/mens health/bodybuilding.com/shape magazine said" is probably the answer.

That's lovely, it really is. I'm glad that individuals who entrusted you with their health are being educated using workouts of the week from Bodyrock Television. (on a side note, I would worship that girl's body till I collapsed by from exhaustion and dehydration, but I digress).

Ive heard arguments against trainers periodizing their customers training. Ive heard arguments that most personal training workouts don't value the program, they just want to enjoy the workout.

Ive read all this, and then I look around at a US population that is 2/3rds over weight, 1 in 4 are obese, and the prevalence of low back pain, joint problems, and a generally https://www.liveinternet.ru/users/c7fskrl568/post476348590/ inability to MOVE is rampant.

And personal trainers don't want to follow any kind of progressive programming scheme, since the client could easily get bored.

So I'm calling out the complete fitness industry then. This is utter ridiculousness, and you all know it. Lucky for you personally if you train nothing but hypermotivated athletes and versions. Those aren't the training market for another decade though, the 100 million those who are overweight are the market.

These people will demand a progressive system for ridding their bodies of this excess bodyfat. They will need to understand the difference between bodyfat and lean mass. You will have to know about hormones and how their insulin sensitivity is totally fucked up.

You may need a system to revive normal joint mobility. You will need to know about fascial patterns and upper and lower cross syndrome and movement engrams and imbalances and how to fix these things.

You will need to know about nutrition and also make coaching advisements that border on being truly a psychological prescription to change.

You need to be able to improvement someone through defined stages of training that encompass joint stabilization and mobilization, that encompass the essential motion patterns of squat hinge pull press push. You will have to teach them why these things are important.

And you'll need to do this for old people too, because geriatrics are overweight too and seniors are just growing older and more immobile.

You may need a system for each one of these things. A teachable, defined system.

And you'll want all of the education that comes along with it.

So get smarter dammit. And if all of this sounds unappealing, then get the hell out of this industry. I'm sick of personal training being regarded as a joke work that's done by university students and workout addicts.

Were health professionals, and we need to become it. And the majority of all, we have to BACK IT UP.
