Sh*t My Clients Say

Thursday, January 12, 2012

Having been a Personal Trainer since the beginning of time (1979, to be exact) and now a CrossFit trainer for the past 3 1/2 years, I've heard more crazy comments, excuses, whining and utter bullsh*t than you could ever imagine.

I've been praised, threatened, propositioned, complimented, insulted, laughed at, cried at, walked out on and come back to. I had one lady pay me a year in advance and only train 8 times and another client that trained with me non-stop for 10 years.

It's a crazy and demanding business. but all in all I couldn't ask for a better career and I look forward to training my clients every day. This business is almost more of a study of human nature than anything else, and everyday the comments, dialogue and witty repertoire are worthy, as my 11:30 CrossFitters like to say, of a reality show of their own.

So you can only imagine my sheer delight when a client of mine (thanks cat!) showed me this video this morning about crazy shit that clients say to their PT's. I laughed my ass off...more-so because I could have and should have made it myself! 

One last note before you watch the video; I won't be in tomorrow but Wes will be handling the morning stuff and nooners, you know the drill. Also, since Monday is a legal holiday I'll be in at 6am and I'll do a special class at 9am for anyone else that wants to train early and then I'm taking the rest of the day off. 

Enjoy! ; )
