Its def not a dying industry - it is an industry that has seen a huge spike over the last 5 years - or course in time it will level out - but it will never die - there will always be people wanting to look better, drop weight, drink the latest protein shake, take the latest weightloss pill - the health industry is one of the most "healthy" industries in the world.
Is the industry really focused on getting results for people, getting fitter, getting bigger etc etc - no not at all - its all about that money - that is the same with pretty much anyother industry in the world though.

When I started training only 11 years ago - me and one other mate trained and we were seen as "weird", "Strange" by our other mates/people at school etc - I bought protein, I had protein bars, when people were eating sandwiches at lunch I was eating pasta and steak or chicken haha - since the Zyzz generation has moved in its seen as weird not to train, not to have protein - 14 year old girls are now taking protein to "get that booooty" - everyman and his dog are in the gym now. I cant even think what it would of been like 20 years ago, 30, 40 years ago - would of been great haha
Really. Can't remember it being seen as weird when I started. Wasn't as many supps around, or beginners on gear but it was seen as pretty normal where I was anyway.

Look at Moi, I'm a Kunce
Don't agree with that at all. Sure a few guys might be of that nature but the majority of the industry or people that like to stay active certainly aren't. Every second person seems to be a PT that runs a bootcamp and they're not empty sessions, still plenty of people signing up.
Also a lot of guys that I see training aren't looking to get any bigger

Fucked up Kunce
Yeah we are. It's easier to exploit rather than telling someone it'll take months if not years to achieve goal. There's no money to be made otherwise.

Never could understand this one. Is the trainer around when they choose to have that double decker black forrest chocolate cheesecake as their 'treat' for being such a good girl and rocking up to the gym that day? lol

I suppose a trainer gets them off their arse to to a session.

A lot of the guys I see training aren't getting any bigger full stop. Same random routines year in year out. Not sure what they expect to get out of doing that.

It's this. I thought all PTs were a total wank (IE paying someone to be your friend for a few hours a week) until I saw how a trainer motivated my mrs to start eating better and actually rock up to a gym to train. I agree they all run bootcamps these days, they seem fairly lucrative tbh - pay $10 or so a head to do the same shit in the park you could do with a bit of self motivation.
