OK, a word of warning, a friend recently tried his hand at the personal training industry and he’s having great difficulty in finding clients. He’s tried various methods of advertising and still no luck. There just appears that there’s no huge demand. You’d think by looking at him (He's absolutely ripped), he’d have no problems. Here’s a conversation I had with him literally 5 minutes before I read your thread.
matty says:
what's the latest?
((((()------------((((() says:
unless u are an arrogant, cocky salesman bullshit artist... don’t become a personal trainer
matty says:
hmm not working out good yet i take it?
((((()------------((((() says:
I have the practical knowledge... but not the personality or sales ability
matty says:
Ohhh ok
matty says:
So the problem is you're too honest?
((((()------------((((() says:
That’s defiantly part of the problem
((((()------------((((() says:
I’m not a wanker... unfortunately...
matty says:
damn, that sucks
matty says:
you tried looking for work in a gym
matty says:
like, just as a regular trainer, you know the people that walk around
((((()------------((((() says:
I’m in a 12 month contract...
((((()------------((((() says:
$250(AU) rent per week
((((()------------((((() says:
I’m in a lot of trouble
matty says:
ohh shit
matty says:
Are there any others in your situation?
matty says:
is the contract with the gym you train at?
((((()------------((((() says:
nah diff gym
((((()------------((((() says:
many others have fallen b4 me...
((((()------------((((() says:
i found that out after joining obviously
matty says:
yep
matty says:
so you don't think that you'll be able to get the clients to cover the rent?
((((()------------((((() says:
no way
matty says:
man, this sounds like a really shit situation
((((()------------((((() says:
ive got hardly anything in the bank anyway... so we shall see what happens when i run out of money
matty says:
those fuckers would know how difficult it is to get clients too
((((()------------((((() says:
they don’t care man... they just want as many ppl paying them 250 a week as possible
matty says:
is it a long contract?
matty says:
as in
matty says:
is the contract that they gave you long and wordy?
((((()------------((((() says:
very long... guys had it checked over... u cant get outta it
matty says:
do you think that they'd pursue legal action if you broke it??
matty says:
also, how many other dudes you know in the same situation?
((((()------------((((() says:
well all the people that work out at the gym say that so many trainers have failed
((((()------------((((() says:
and yeh if u try and get outta it they can sue u
matty says:
looks like you’re gonna have to leave the country
