It's been a while, I know. I'm a slacker! Actually, I haven't had anything that inspired me enough to write about it, that is, until I went to the gym this week with my mother.
I am currently in Sydney, Nova Scotia visiting my family and have had the great pleasure to join my Mom at the gym. So, the first day I'm there with her we are on the treadmills. From my vantage point, I am able to see one of the personal trainers there working with a client. Naturally, as a personal trainer, I'm going to be watching what he is doing to see if I can pick up any new exercises to add to my own repertoire. This is what I saw..... a trainer that couldn't give a rat's a** what his client was doing! He was too busy running his mouth and checking his cell phone! I was APPALLED, to say the least. When I said something to my mother, she laughed and said that he's always like that. She also informed me that he likes to divulge the explicit details of his personal life to any client willing to listen. I can't believe this guy has any clients! At first my mother didn't see anything wrong with what he was doing but I explained to her that his clients are paying him for his undivided attention to their training session. After she thought about it, she realized that they were getting cheated out of what they paid for.
Anyway my friends, the moral of this story is GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR! A good personal trainer should be have a planned workout, be punctual and be able to give you their undivided attention. The only reason a trainer should have a cell phone on him/her is for emergency purposes only! Don't be afraid to have a conversation with your trainer if he/she is not meeting your expectations. Okay, enough said.
Have a great weekend!
