- Whenever I wasn't selling contracts, I was either being a personal trainer or a janitor. One night, a retarded guy visited the gym with a family member. He went into the bathroom, backed up to a urinal, and took a shit in it. I had to clean that mess up; but the whole time I was thinking, "this is better than selling memberships." - Being a trainer, most people didn't need instruction, really. Most people needed emotional support and encouragement. I didn't care much for that aspect of PT. Sorry, but if you have self esteem issues, go cry into a pillow with your therapist. When you're ready to bust your ass and improve yourself by improving your body, come to me. - We had a cheapo computer system with a webcam to make member badges. We totally used the system to look through peoples' photographs, looking for hotties to date. - On some weekends, the guys who worked there would go in at nights after hours and do heavy workouts while taking hits off oxygen tanks. We had oxygen tanks in the gym supposedly for first aid, but the real reason was so those guys could inhale it, do squats and bench presses and stuff, and get huge pumps.
I am still a firm believer in lifting weights, whether for strength, power, size, endurance or longevity. But I think you should know how to work these types of people, because they will try to work you.
