I was so upset to find out that my trainer (#8) was switched to another gym due to a situation that was stupid and poorly handled by my gym. I won't go into details but the gym is totally in the wrong. Now I have to get another trainer...who is probably incompetent :(
THIS IS MY HEALTH YOU'RE SCREWING WITH!!!
I have finally started to make good strides towards my weight loss and now I have to start over again ... for the NINTH time! My health is on the line here. I am at an unhealthy weight and need to make a change before things get out of hand. Nevermind, it's already out of hand. In the last two years I gained almost 40 lbs. That's a lot of weight. I have fought against a wrist injury and thyroid issues. It has been an uphill battle!!! I was finally making progress only to have to start all over again.
Trainer #8 was the first trainer that ever wrote down my training program. None of the other trainers could be bothered. If I was at the gym and had a question, Trainer #8 would find the time to talk to me. He gave me great advice. He was just as determined to seeing me succeed as I was! He was motivating, encouraging, and understanding. He had high
expectations of me and of himself! I felt happy and excited to go to the gym! He gave me my confidence and drive back!
Sit down and listen up Trainer #9! Guess what? I'm paying for a service so I have high expectations. I have had too many crappy trainers to sit back and say nothing. Especially because I paid an arm and a leg for you.
Here are my expectations of you...
- First, I expect that you be professional. I don't want you to ask me if I would consider "juicing up" or if I enjoy multiple boyfriends. The answer is no! (Sadly, another trainer did this ... he didn't last long.)
- Second, I expect you to write down my program. I require a four day rotating cycle. I expect that you hold me accountable. (Cause I intend on holding you accountable)
- Third, I expect you to take measurements every month and change my fitness plan accordingly.
- Fourth, I expect that if you are not training and I have a question you will answer me even though it's not our session. I'm still a paying client.
If you can't live up to my expectations then I'm pulling a Donald Trump. "You're Fired!" I want trainer #8 back. So trainer # 9, I hope you're ready to prove yourself. You are starting with a deficit so you better be prepared to kick butt ... cause if not I'm going to ask for someone else! Nothing personal, but I don't have time to waste on bad trainers.
I LOVE your expectations and good for you for making them known (if only to those who read your blog). I thought that I was alone in thinking that my trainer needed to help me put together a plan and keep me on track when I wasn't in session with him!
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading my blog! I'm glad that this post was helpful! I thought the same thing, but I learned otherwise. Let me know if you ever want to come to the gym on my guest pass...it's free!
