| If you're a personal trainer - it's most | | | | date! And at the end of every session - he |
| likely this article is going to offend you. | | | | would ask her out. Of course, she never |
| So, be warned.If you've sticked around long | | | | really agreed - but he would even try to talk |
| enough on my site, you would have realised by | | | | and hint naughty thoughts at her.. and I'm |
| now that I'm not really a big fan of personal | | | | sure she's not the only one. Why is it that |
| trainers. Now, don't get me wrong - this is | | | | all the females seem to get the 'FREE |
| not because I don't believe they are good, | | | | SESSIONS' even if they don't qualify for it? |
| but mainly because I believe there are so | | | | Why don't they approach the men to give free |
| many personal trainers out there, who despite | | | | sessions instead? When they train their |
| the certification they possess, still lack | | | | female clients, they touch them more, they |
| the experience, the knowledge, and most | | | | help them more, they get closer to them |
| importantly - the personal passion for the | | | | physically. I don't see them doing the same |
| pursuit of physical fitness.I've always | | | | to their male clients. How come? I've got |
| believed that a personal trainer needs to | | | | nothing to say.I've always personally |
| walk the walk, and talk the talk! No point | | | | believed that a personal trainer needs more |
| trying to motivate someone to lose weight if | | | | than a 'certification'. They need the |
| you're a fat ass yourself, don't you think? | | | | passion, the experience (this is so |
| Take a look at the available personal | | | | important), and the gifted ability to simply |
| trainers at your gym - how fit are they? Or | | | | be able to motivate even the laziest person |
| just how full of bullshit are they? If | | | | on earth. Does someone like this exist? Of |
| they're supposedly good at helping you 'bulk | | | | course they do!Everybody, I'm about to do |
| up' and help you gain muscle - do their | | | | something so unlike of me now.. to those of |
| physiques themselves show off their | | | | you looking for a personal trainer - I'm |
| capability? Or if their expertise is 'weight | | | | going to recommend you guys someone who I |
| loss', are they so lean and fit that they | | | | personally believe has all that it takes to |
| deserve to be admired? Cos if they're | | | | help you achieve your goals.Meet Julian |
| overweight and flabby themselves, trust me - | | | | Underwood (I hope I got his name right).Why |
| that simply shows the amount of motivation | | | | does recommend Julian? |
| that they themselves lack to improve their | | | | |
| very own physique. Don't agree with me? Too | | | | He's never trained me, but I've watched him |
| bad then.Personally, I myself have never paid | | | | train others, and believe me - I'm impressed. |
| for the services of a personal trainer mainly | | | | He once saw me working out and experimenting |
| because I've always believed that I don't see | | | | on something new, and he came up to me and |
| the necessity for me to have one. I think I | | | | commented on it. I was surprised that he even |
| know how to eat right, I know what to do at | | | | knew what I was trying to do. This was 1 year |
| the gym to achieve my goals, and I know how | | | | ago.Julian seems like a serious, |
| to motivate myself for my workouts. I almost | | | | down-to-earth, no-nonsense guy. But most |
| ALWAYS have productive workouts due to my | | | | importantly, I've watched him talk, and |
| strict focus, discipline, and mental | | | | motivate his clients. Just hearing him count |
| preparation before every workout, plus - the | | | | your reps and stand by you as you workout is |
| music on my MP3 player helps me to stay in | | | | enough to convince me that he's good. He is |
| 'my own world' when I'm working out and in | | | | able to motivate you to push past your |
| giving 101%. On top of all that, I see | | | | limits... and I like that. Put it this way - |
| results.However, for those of you who are in | | | | If I were to get a personal trainer for |
| need of a little extra help - perhaps you're | | | | myself, he would be my choice. He also looks |
| a little clueless as to what to do at the | | | | way fitter than most of the younger personal |
| gym? Or in need of some guidance, tailored | | | | trainer newbies you see at the gym. Also, if |
| nutritional advice, workout routines 100% | | | | you're interested to know - I've seen him sit |
| tailored especially for you, and if you have | | | | at the panel of judges for an International |
| the money to spare - then by all means, do | | | | Fitness event held locally in Malaysia a few |
| get yourself a personal trainer! Not only | | | | years ago - so I believe he is someone |
| would they would be able to guide you, but | | | | experienced, well known, and respected in the |
| they would help keep your progress in check | | | | Fitness industry here in Malaysia. Its just |
| and take you to new levels of awareness - | | | | that he never told most people. ;)How much is |
| hopefully helping you succeed in reaching | | | | Julian paying me for this publicity? |
| your fitness goals.The problem, however, in | | | | |
| my opinion (especially here in Malaysia) is | | | | Ha ha. I wish! Julian probably doesn't even |
| the lack of properly qualified personal | | | | know that exists. He doesn't even know me.. |
| trainers. Though they exist somewhere out | | | | Hmm. if he did know that this site exists.. |
| there, they're not easy to find - especially | | | | it would be nice if he said hi though. Julian |
| if you're new to the gym and are totally | | | | are you there?How can you contact Julian? |
| clueless. Plus, it's easy to be 'seduced' by | | | | |
| the sweet talk of the personal trainer you | | | | Julian works for Fitness First at their |
| get through your 'complimentary sessions' at | | | | corporate office besides being a personal |
| the gym. If you ask me, most of them are just | | | | trainer. I see him often at the Fitness First |
| out there to meet their sales targets and | | | | at Menara Manulife Damansara Heights and also |
| make a living. Are they really, honestly | | | | sometimes at the Fitness First at Menara |
| concerned if you meet your goals? Would they | | | | Axis. So if you're interested to contact him, |
| call you to talk to you, be your friend, or | | | | do give Fitness First a call and you should |
| allow you to call them anytime at all you | | | | be able to locate him from there. For contact |
| have a doubt, or if you're worried or | | | | details, head over to Fitness First |
| confused on what to eat?Disgustingly, some | | | | Malaysia's website.Josh Stone, also known as |
| personal trainers I've known are only | | | | DM, is the author behind the site which |
| interested to get into the skirts of their | | | | offers the author's personal views on |
| clients (believe me). I know one personal | | | | real-life fitness, bodybuilding, sports |
| trainer from a particular Fitness First | | | | nutrition, cardio, fat loss, training |
| branch who used to offer my female friend | | | | information, and on all things that surrounds |
| ENDLESS FREE SESSIONS... in exchange for a | | | | fitness. |
