Your Personal Trainer is NOT Your “Workout Buddy”

NEW RANT!

Yah, you guessed it.

I went to another commercial gym, just to change things up.

Ever notice how every time I go to one of these gyms, I have something new to vent about?

When you workout with a Personal Trainer, what’s your expectation?

Do you expect to get a good workout? Of course!!

Do you expect the Personal Trainer to get a good workout, too?

I hope your answer to that one isn’t “Yes” !!!

Here’s what ticked me off this time:

So, what is up with Personal Trainers who think it’s okay to get their own workout in on YOUR time and YOUR dime?

GRRRRRR !!!!!

FOR THE RECORD: Your Personal Trainer is NOT supposed to act like your Workout Buddy!!

If you work with a Personal Trainer, expect them to be there for YOU, not for themselves.

After all, you’re PAYING them for their time, right?

So get what you paid for, or fire their ass!

…and hey, Personal Trainers, take note, wouldya? If you’re working yourself out during your client’s paid-for time, then SHAME ON YOU for ripping them off.

’nuff said.

Have a fit, fun and fantastic day.

Summer Is Coming! Get Your Fitness On!!

Girlwithnoname — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 21:42:44 +0000

Hey Everyone!! We made it! It’s Friday! The weekend is upon us (and a damn nice one in Vancouver, may I add!)

I got a little worried that I’m still experiencing some lower back stiffness since my Kettlebell Training last weekend, so I started analyzing my posture and hamstrings, wondering if I had lordosis or some other issue that might be slowing down the recovery of my DOMS in this area.

Check it out:

So, if you’re not ready for Summer yet, check out the banner at the top of this page and hit me up on my Online Fitness Coaching Page. I know how to get you there so let’s get busy, shall we?

Workout Song of the Day!

Just to get us in the mood for Summer, here’s a little throw-back to the past!! This is a great cardio song that ALWAYS makes me think of Summer.

Surfaris – Wipe Out

Don’t forget, if it makes you think of Summer and you want it for your own Cardio Collection just click on the Buy Button on the Player Widget and Amazon takes care of the rest. You’ll be sweating with the Surfaris on your very next workout.

Have a fit, fun and fantastic day.

Hillsprints, Energy and Coaching, Oh My!

Girlwithnoname — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 01:12:08 +0000

Hey Everyone!! Welcome back.

First things first:

One more HUGE thank you to the GREAT Tom Venuto, author of Burn The Fat Feed The Muscle for letting me interview him in my last post, aptly titled: “Interview with Tom Venuto, author of Burn The Fat Feed The Muscle”!! (hey, I never said originality was my strong suit!!)

What an awesome experience it was to tap into that guy’s head.

He’s got so much knowledge in the health and fitness fields, I could have talked to him all day (but that would have been one heckuva a long video so I had to restrain myself!! ha)

Anyway, today I got some hillsprints done and had an interesting encounter with a stranger in the process!!

Funny how the little things in life can make you smile and give you a burst of energy.

And, like I mentioned, a conversation with a client today made me realize you guys might not be aware that my Online Fitness Coaching service (see top of page for awesome banner!) is a PERSONALIZED service.

What it is NOT is a template that is the same for everyone, or an assistant that deals with you and sticks stuff under my nose when I need to see it.

It’s the REAL ME working with YOU directly. Just sayin’…

…so if you’ve got some fitness goals you’re experiencing difficulty achieving, go check it out and let’s do ‘er up right!!

And as always, here’s today’s Workout Song of the Day.

This one should make you laugh… it makes ME laugh (even though it’s title warns me NOT to…) and it makes me run just a little faster… cuz its FUN… and because it has a good beat that gives me energy.

WINX – Don’t Laugh

Don’t forget, if it made you laugh and you want it for your own ‘good cardio tunes’ collection, head over to Amazon right now and check it out … literally!!

(ha ha, get it? you have to hit the ‘check out’ when you buy it? funny right?)…

**insert sound of crickets chirping**

Um… so, guess not! LOL

ANYYYYWAYYYYYYY, it’s fast, and it’s cheap and you’ll be sweating and laughing at the same time … in no time!

(jeez, I’m having a weird day today! hee hee)

That’s it for today everyone. Thanks for being here and we’ll see you again, very soon!!!!

Have a fit, fun and fantastic day.
