Personal trainer rant

[Triple X]

So I'm at the gym yesterday and I was doing some dead lifts. When I was finished a guy asked me to leave the weight in for him. About 20 minutes later a walked back over NEAR the bar I had been using. One of the trainers asked me I was finished using the bar and I said yeah. He the said "do you mind cleaning it up?" I looked at the bar and then looked at him like he was crazy and said "huh?" (the bar was loaded with weight from the guy after me)
He said again, "would you mind cleaning it up?" I then said look bro, that ain't mine to clean up but I'll be glad to help you. He said "well you were the last one I saw using it so can you just clean it up?"

Long story short, I stripped the bar down and almost knocked the mother fuker's head off! Fukin cock suker has the nerve to bitch about some weight on the bar but always leaves the god damn mats and swiss balls all over the gym for people to trip on. Last time I punted the swiss ball as hard as I could across the gym.

Why the **** do trainers have their clients doing stretching exercises in the middle of the damn weight room anyway. Take that shit to the cardio room, that's what it is for. And pick up your shit!

[Papi93]

Are you going to say something to the guy that left the weight on?

[D3m3nt3d]

Are you going to say something to the guy that left the weight on?

Yeah...or atleast tell the trainer that a guy behind you asked you to leave the weight up there?

[mwolffey]

Not all trainers are that way but some think they are "Gods".. I own a gym (Yea!!)now and all my trainers clean up all their stuff when they are done and all their clients work in one corner of the gym (90% of the time) where we have all the "toys" that mostly only trainers would end up using.. Now if any of my 5 trainers said something to a member like that they would not have to knock their heads off because I would do it for them. As a gym owner I would not allow this type of talk to anyone.. If anything the trainer should have asked a team member to come clean it up..

We ask, not require, each member to clean up after themselves but they pay for a service and if they forget to pick something up we do it for them.

My advice.. find a new gym

[Doc.Sust]

this is why i built my own gym, now i dont have to deal w jerk off trainers. i used to fight with thos fcks every day, they hated me and i hated them

[spywizard]

trainers teaching idiots to bring those damn balls into thte weight area are pissing me off none stop, ... i toss them into the exercise area.. loose...

[spywizard]

and if they say anything, i tell them the fire marshall wouldn't like these things blocking the walkways... especially in an area already frought with danger...

nor would thier insurance carrier..

[DNoMac]

Yea right, I saw you using it last....

[spywizard]

Yea right, I saw you using it last....

yep, makes for a good sex toy.. i've punctured a few though...

[chest6]

All u gotta do is say is "A guy was using it after me" and walk off..

[DNoMac]

I like the custom title chest

[chest6]

LMAO! I never noticed that until you said that. Brian is making fun of me

[DNoMac]

You've been spending too much time in C's picture thread

[Triple X]

Bros, I DID tell him that somebody else used it and even pointed out how much weight was on the bar. He said "I just saw you using it last with 185" and now there was 3 tens added to each side. He basically didn't give a shit. Fuking prick! I have a really short fuse but I didn't want to cause a scene so I just cleaned up for the fact that I'm sure I am guilty of leaving weight on the bar at some previous point.

I'm gonna write a letter to the gym and tell them to tell their trainers to keep that shit out of the weight room. Haha, I should have realized Ithere was a problem when they were playing Nick Lache on the damn radio when I signed my membership.

[zaggahamma]

i would have been pissed too....big of you to clean it up

[perfectbeast2001]

personal trainers annoy the shit outta me with there out of date bad advice. Alwaqys getting there clients to do stupid balance and core excercises and the clients are still fat a year later. And your right they leave there crap in the middle of the weights room cos there too important to pick it up while there "with a client". The PTs at my gym are currently advising clients to do a oral only winstrol cycle when the clients diet is clearly shit and theyve only been lifting for a week. PTs are dicks.

[Timm1704]

i was a good PT, being the only long-term serious bodybuilder at my gym at the time, i knew the crack as far as gym etiquette went. thing was, i was on a set wage from the gym, and my services came free with the clients gym membership, and i always gave them real-world advice, that actually works, yet the clients were put off when i told them how they should be eating, training etc. theyd make excuses as to why they shouldnt eat that way, do deadlifts and even train legs. then they would end up copying the other members and the other PT's advice (he had, and still has a fixation with not training legs, not doing deads, pullups etc, just uses the cable stations, does alot of supersets and focuses on isolation with shitty form, and doesnt eat more than 3 times a day ever, even then he is eating shit), and still look the same 2 years later. after i stopped working there, these same members still ask my advice when im training. i dont mind, but if your gonna ask me how to get bigger, please ****ing listen! why waste my time telling them the benefits of compound exercises being the core, along with a sound diet, if they are not gonna do them. nowerdays i just turn up, train, have abit of banter between sets, then eff off home to eat, i pay no attention to what the others are doing. i have started training at afew other gyms too, and there are people training there that have been at it longer than me. i like being around those guys lol

[Triple X]

My gym won't allow anyone other than an employee train anyone! LOL
