I never cease to be amazed by the seemingly unlimited ways that my fellow personal trainers can disappoint me.
I recently got a membership at a local gym, and I was there doing a workout this afternoon and I saw a personal trainer who I had previously only ever seen online on his website and YouTube videos.
Based on what I saw of him online, I had thought that he was a decent personal trainer.
Today I saw him training a client, and although I wasn’t intently watching him, the times that I did happen to glance over at him, he was usually checking his Blackberry, and in one case actually typing on it. This was during the personal training session. Amazing.
If I paid my hard-earned money for a personal training session and my trainer was more concerned with his Blackberry than my workout, I’d never train with that person again. Ever.
And if one of my employees ever takes out their Blackberry while they’re supposed to be running my Vancouver boot camp program, that will be the last boot camp workout that person ever runs for me.
