Coaches that train athletes value making their athletes better. Their success is based on enhancing their athletes functionality on the field/courtroom/ring. The End is definitely what justifies the means.

Personal training though, you've got everything screwed up. The complete industry wants to talk about how exactly important "results" are. Every ones 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 make use of a periodization scheme, who have defined protocols for balance, power, hypertrophy, and power. Describe your education with Stuart McGills research and Mike Boyles Joint by Joint strategy or the last time you go through anything by Verkhoshanky or Yessis or Bondarchuk. Your familiarity with Grey Make and the FMS or Dave Tate and the EliteFTS corporation?

You understand who John Goodman is? Thomas Plummer maybe?

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

... you sorry sorry fellow.

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

None of you understand anything. Your "education" begins and ends with your training certification textbook that you under no circumstances read. Your "exercises" are whatever the hell you found on YouTube that looked hard. Your own training is the stuff you prefer, and you've neither gained significant lean mass nor improved your athleticism within the last 10 years. You became a trainer because you "liked working out and working in a fitness center seemed easy", and that is a direct quote by the way.

Everyone reading this will probably swear they are not this kind of trainer, but they can say for certain at least twelve trainers that suit this description flawlessly though.

You'll argue that you can say for certain your stuff though. Your argument depends on the fact that you clients tell you that "you're my shrink/psychologist/life coach". You'll eat that junk up and think that you're amazing because you know the condition of everyone's marriage. Then you'll argue that their spending money on guidance because they're unhappy and its your job to make them happy.

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

"All my clients get outcomes though!! Except the types that don't and stop after their starter bundle or tell me they cant afford schooling."

That makes a lot of sense. After all, obesity carries with it no higher health care costs during the period of a person's lifestyle. Neither does seated 10 hours a day, eating a diet of Costcos frozen meals, and implanting your ass to your sofa. Those things all lead to happy existence and in no way is a heart attack of type II diabetes in your future.

So what kinds of program is your training based around?

Don't answer, because that probably just confused the hell away you. And please god don't state you're P90X certified. Simply, DON'T, SAY IT

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

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

That's lovely, it truly is. I'm glad that individuals https://zenwriting.net/s7yokao412/iframe-src-www-youtube-com-embed-plgawiqff90-width-560-height-315 who entrusted you with their health are being educated using workouts of the week from Bodyrock TV. (on a side notice, 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 clients training. Ive heard arguments that most personal training workouts don't care about the program, they just want to enjoy the workout.

Ive read all this, and then I shop around at a US people that is 2/3rds over weight, 1 in 4 are obese, and the prevalence of low back pain, joint problems, and a generally inability to MOVE is rampant.

And fitness trainers don't want to check out any sort of progressive programming scheme, because the client might get bored.

So I'm calling out the complete fitness industry then. That is utter ridiculousness, and you all understand it. Lucky for you if you train nothing but hypermotivated athletes and models. Those aren't the training market for another decade though, the 100 million people who are overweight will be the market.

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

You'll need a system to revive normal joint mobility. You will need to know about fascial patterns and higher and lower cross syndrome and motion engrams and imbalances and how exactly to fix these things.

You will have to know about nutrition and be able to make coaching advisements that border on being a psychological prescription to improve.

You'll 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 exact things are important.

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

You'll need a system for each one of these stuff. A teachable, defined program.

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

So get smarter dammit. And if all this sounds unappealing, after that get the hell out of the industry. I'm fed up with personal training being regarded as a joke job that's done by college students and exercise addicts.

Were medical researchers, and we have to act like it. And most of all, we need to BACK IT UP.
