Btw, mum has bent to letting me get the muscle motion rack and ill be ordering next week - ****ing psyched.
What's wrong with the rack you've got now?
There are alot of idiot trianers..
In sydney anyway problem is they get work? I dontknow how..
There is 1 older guy in my class he is a trainer apparently he says he knows all these powerlifting people blah blah blah.
Then he goes on to tell me how muscletech creatine is better then others because it is anabolicly activated. WTF is that? This is when Christians brain stops listening. Then i find out his bench is 80 and i stop listening completly...
Its almost like the personal trianer in my class who told me you can spot reduce body fat. It drives me insane.
Yet these people het hired and make money? I see absolute begginers at my gym and this trianer gets them doing all this band stuff and those rex strap things? Just give the bloke a barbell and teach him to squat.
I think all the fancy ness is for show... When you look at westside there are not many fance exercises. There is no special secret its fairly basic. Is it something FIA teahces that the rest of the world doesnt know? Do begginers need to do pistols on a half fit ball while scratching there ass?
Or is it just that they try to fit so much crap in as to confuse the client so they think they could neer do it on their own. I see some people with a different wokrout everyday.. How the **** are you going to moniter progress?
It just seems like a little too much smoke and mirrors for me. But i suppose every industry is the same. Its like me telling you that you have a cobalamin* defficiency so you need to see me every week so we can moniter it for you as it can cause a whole host of problems...
*how many of you will google it?
That is ridiculous (horse story).
As has been said, OP, certification/qualifications are basically a piece of paper that allows easy access to insurance. The fitness industry is not regulated in Australia, you don't need a qualification to practise as a personal trainer.
Its more the chalk, deadlifts are frowned at, no bumpers, no Oly lifts and atmosphere.
Once you lift in a PL gym Oli, you'll never want to lift anywhere else, trust me.
No chains, boxes, bands, Atlas Stones.
I know I trained for 12 years in commercial gyms, but they were nothing like today.
You cant miss what youve never had Oli
this sounds really sad. I was thinking aussies where more hardcore
Because however poor it is, people still leave the course with more knowledge than they began it with. They still end up knowing much more than the typical gym-goer. And I'm fairly sure most of those who passed would know more than you. About powerlifts, probably not - but there's more to PT than squat, bench, and deadlift. I'm sure I mentioned some examples before.thats why im wondering why anybody in their right mind would value such a course. we have all seen what kind of idiots have passed it.
You have to realise that most people come and go from gyms every few months anyway, or change routines every few weeks. They don't hang around long enough to find out if anything actually works.People who are reading magazines while cycling on a machine have to realise at some point there is no progres?
Seriously Christian, you train at Finance First and wont train at SS&S because you've heard bad things lol
Thats the funniest thing youve ever written.
I guess you train at Fatness First because you only heard good things about it
Oh the irony
The thing i like the most about a home gym is that its more efficient timewise - you dont have to drive, and because you dont have to wait to use the power rack you can get a lot of volume into 30-45 minutes.

And as I said, an interested person can use the course to learn things not covered by the course, because they're meeting with people from the industry, etc.

And for many people, their workout is not actually a means to an end of physique change, improved performance, etc - they just enjoy being at the gym cycling or doing curls and talking with their mates, and being able to tell their friends they work out. It's social, not physical.
l.i dont now how anyone trains in those places,.
Well if you wanna put on muscle, like most young guys who work out at gyms do. Then no, there really isnt much more you need to know than benching, squatting and deadlifting.
But if you want to aim your services at 5% of the market, and a 5% that'll usually ignore you, and do all this without qualifications of any kind... go ahead and try.
- there are many more kinds of gym members than underweight young males who want to beef up
- underweight young males usually know everything already, or so they say - so they won't pay for a trainer or coach to teach them anything, not even squat, bench and deadlift.
You'll probably have more financial success just washing dishes in a restaurant, though.
They Aren't open Sundays they close before I finish work on Saturdays. They close before I get home on wednesdays.
It will cost me almost double now and I loose the convenience of being at college and wanting to use the gym up the road or at the mrs and wanting to use the gym at her house. They also close early weekdays so by the time the mrs is finished work and home there isn't much time left to train.
I don't give a shit about what music plays or who's around me, I get oops from commercial gyms and that's what's funny.. I have a rack a bench barbells and weights it can be curves for all I care if that stuff is there, it's cheap and caters to my lifestyle I'm there.
