Manta Rays can be huge, easily 20 foot wing span…
We only get one body on this planet… S**t vs. Shinola
We only get one body on this planet…..
It’s important than to know ….
S**t vs. Shinola
Remember that movie The Jerk where Navin Johnson (Steve Martin) is taught the difference between s**t and shinola from his father? (it’s really a MUST see)
What if you went out to eat once and ended up at Drive Thru Fast Food
and you got salmonella…would you never ever ever eat out again?
Then let’s say the next time you ate out it was somewhere spectacular…and you were like wow…that was really delicious, efficient and well organized!
I’m always fascinated by those folks who have had the unfortunate experience (or have paid to get injured by) and bad bad experiences with new to market, or just bad retail trainers, and then swear off personal training.
Years ago I damaged my voice teaching at a place with no microphone and I did not purchase my own because the employees were told that the business would purchase it for all instructors. Well they never did. I ended that job with some permanent damage to my vocal chords.
What did I learn? Should have spent the $$ and saved my voice. Now you know I could’ve been Beyonce but here I am 🙂
That’s your spine you are risking. This is not like totaling your car and then just replacing it. One body, one spine. That’s it. Pay attention to detail.
The investment is meant to HELP you. Please don’t pay for injuries. Sheesh!
Bad choices and bad shopping is just that. It happens to all of us; whether cars or gyms.
But please don’t toss all trainers into the same “bin”. You would not do that with cars or restaurants and it should not apply here.
Not all trainers are created equal. It’s as different as Drive Thru Fast Food vs. Fine Dining
Hybrid vs. Pinto….you get it!
It’s just like shopping for anything else; you should take some time to assess what you really want? What do you need? Personal training is personal!
Expertise?
Experience?
Results?
Is it accountability?
Fun?
Someone who loves to workout?
Do you want to pay someone you can’t stand? Would you rather connect well with them?
Do you want to work with a real human that has the capacity to actually be a friend?
Do you want someone who understands first hand the workout or event you have in mind?
Do you want to workout in the morning? If so, are they a morning person?
Are you already doing moves you’ve only seen in Cirque de Soleil, and you are just starting out?
I can share with you what I love and hate, but this is about YOU. PERSONAL training.
We get one body on this planet.
Not all trainers are created equal….There is particle board and there is titanium.
Know the difference!
Love love love,
Michele your Titanium Trainer 🙂
