Any tips for someone starting as a personal trainer? It's my first day and I know at least some of you work as one.
Or what would a PT have to be able to offer for you to see one? (I realize most of you are capable of using the internet to do my job)
If at all possible I would like to avoid the retarded exercises and momscience PTs are notorious for, but that seems to be part of the job.

Chop your ding dong off. No better way to get a test boost then going dickless for michael chiklis.

I've been working as a PT at a franchise gym for a few months now, and it's a nightmare.

>half the clients never show up on time
>clients change days/time sporadically
>half of them don't give a shit, half ass every exercise
>clients can't do basic exercises without mobility issues or lack of strength
>don't have enough time in 30 minute blocks to fix all their shit so I'm told to put them through a baby circuit that won't do shit for them
>know they're going out for cake after this session so why fucking bother
>criticizes my exercise choices "we did those last week, pick something else!" "These are bad for your back" "I'm older than you are, I should be training you!"

FUCK

That sounds exactly like what I've seen so far. I really don't want to make up 100 meme exercises a week when a program like SS, or a modified SS, would be much more beneficial, albeit more boring, for an otherwise healthy person trying to lose weight
>tfw a client tells me they like variety and "weird exercises"
please die

You'll get lots of what the above guy said.

Basically the only time anyone "needs" a personal trainer is if they're fucking lazy. Anyone can get fit, lose weight, gain weight, whatever, using info easily found online.

So just remember these people are lazy unmotivated fucks who basically want to pay someone else to do it for them. Not your fault when they inevitably don't turn up or don't bother trying to put a shred of effort in. Just take their cash and move onto the next one.

What country are you in btw, and what qualifications did you need to work as a PT?

you will have a lot of chances with women and girls, but you shouldn't fuck them. I mean, you have to be fun, maybe a little teasing, they get off with this shit, but no actual dick play involved.

Make stupidly complex routines so your dumb clients keep giving your worthless ass money.

I'm in the US and have a bachelor's in exercise physiology (wouldn't recommend majoring in it, I plan on going to grad school for something else)

You need to be able to make people feel like they are achieving something, even if they are fucking fat failures.

That is how you keep people coming back to pay for your services. They want to feel good about themselves. This varies a lot person to person, so get to know them a bit, find out what their goals are, and find ways to tie gym progress and PRs directly to the goals they want to achieve. Because most people lose interest when they realise changes in the mirror take longer than they'd hoped, its better to motivate them through objective means, like PRs.

You need people to feel comfortable around you as well, so if you're socially awkward, you're fucked.

Bruh

Where I am, you technically need a cert to get a job as a PT, but that doesn't really happen.
If you're half big/half lean some headhunter from a shithouse gym will swing you a job on a silver platter (mainly because the job is shit and the turnover is high).

So I sort of ended up with this thing where a few guys would pay me $10 each to basically be coached in a group rather than given PT.
I basically just ran SS, collected money and laughed at the idiots that failed to stick to such an easy program.

There was always one or two guys who complained about it being boring - it got to the point where I legitimately dropped one of them because I couldn't stand his fat fucking face again.

So glad that's over and I have a real job though.
