Wanna screw up your training business?

Here’s 50 ways to get you started…

1. Check yourself out in the mirror the whole time you’re training your clients

2. When training housewives who want to look lean and sexy, be sure and use heavy weights, bodybuilding style programs and put them on 1.5 grams of protein per pound of body-weight per day

3. Talk the whole time about your personal life and don’t listen to what your client… their not here to talk, their here to workout and listen to your advice, adventures, problems and victories… because you are one helluva n’ interesting person

4. Don’t have clear and defined goals, just wing it

5. Train one-on-one clients only, no groups or boot camps

A Personal Training Business Humor Post and Fitness Industry Weirdness Rant by Chris McCombs

Hey there… I hope you’re doing awesome… and I hope you’re making a killing in your personal training business or boot camp right now.

The fitness training industry is one of the coolest industries around… in my book it’s up there with internet marketer, info-marketer, rock star, film director, Chris Hansen busting perverts on Dateline NBC and about a half a dozen other gigs that are real cool… while most people are stuck in some cubicle or factory, fitness trainers are out there in the trenches getting people into shape, helping them to live better lives, be healthier, look better, feel better, have more sex, have more confidence… you name it… you’re helping people to have one helluva lot better life.

But it’s also one of those gigs where there’s some real funky stuff that goes on that can make the rest of the industry look real creepy to an outsider.

In the past, I did a post on dealing with funky and weird personal training clients, and it’s still one of my favorite posts of all time… if you haven’t read it, DEFINITELY check it out.

In the same spirit, I want to talk about some funky and weird things that go on WITHIN the fitness industry, that kind of gives it a… well, a WEIRD reputation.

So with further ado… here’s some common trainer types and situations we could use less of…
