question?

[Mr.Freeze]

what do you think about that?
what if you go to a new gym to get a membership and the owner tell you it would cost you 760$=tx. for one year. what those that includ.?
It includ. acces to freeweight, selective machine, cardio and you get a REAL private trainner( not that kid that just came out of school with is diploma of what ever field they study in that as to do with your body) for your self for a full month at a rate of 4 one hrs. session per week for a total of 16 session.
So if you look at it, out of the 760$ there's kind of 400$(25$ a session) for the trainner and the rest(360$) for the gym.
then i aske why would i have to take the private trainner for?
His reply: in regular gym you got two type of people, type1 who goes to the gym for socialized and having fun or look at chicks. type2 who goes to the gym to really make some changes to there body and health.now the problem is that the people of type1 are using machine for fun,they dont use the machine the right way, or they stay on the machine for 20min. talking on the cell phone at the same time.Now the type2 guy needs that same machine the type1 guy is using (for fun) now you need to wait(for fun) and thats get type2 people frustrated. so if everybody is here for real trainning and they all know how to train the right way you would probably not wait as long or at all for a machine.
and at the same time because of the high price less people who's looking for socialized or peeking on chicks would get a membership so again less people, bigger the chance of having the machine you need not taken.
now i aske him what about people who knows there thing could they pay only for the year with out the trainner?he said you just need to show me that you know your stuff and you could just pay for a year(360$+tx.). Now the big question how do show you my stuff!:D
he said:you need to train with a REAL trainnerand pay 35$ for one session so they could approuved what your saying, if soo you dont need to pay that 35$fees and if your were telling bullshit for a free session you need to pay the 35$ fees.
I think its a good concept! i will probebly go there insted of the shitty nautilus i go too.
what do you think?

I understand that entry level trainers do not charge lots, but what kind of credentials does one have to only charge $35 a session?

The idea that EVERYONE has to see a trainer at least once most likely is a turnoff for most people, especially if it is a person like yourself who probably has a bigger clue than the trainer about fitness. The company would most likely lose money because of the people who said they had an idea of fitness, the majority would probably do so.
That means the owner needs to figure out the cost-benefit ratio and if he would lose money by paying trainers to supervise knowledgeable trainees.

I know some personal trainers who have never heard of "wave loading", "cluster training", or "drop sets" and these people feel sufficiently qualified to charge $60 + an hour. One has to wonder what type of caliber of "trainers" these are for such a low price?

what make you say 35$ is not enought for a real good trainner and that 60$ is? i realy would like to see a trainner charging 60$ for a trainnig session!!
for cheaper i could get my self a guy that as already their Pro card and got all kind of back ground to help me out. i dont see how someone could pay 60$a day 4-5 time a week at the end of the month its over 1k:confused: you realy need to rich or stupid.
i see all kind of trainner that charge 40$ to 50$ an hours but they know fvck all about what they are doing. i laught at them when they try to train a guy for bodybuilding show they are all hype thinking their athletes is ready to make a kill and the day of the show that guy comes in last, holding all kinds of water not tan right, cant pose...

Guys like Thiebeadeau charge big bucks.
Even the YMCA I used to train at would charge around $65 for a PT session.

It depends on what kind of trainer you want. Trainers who have lots of certifications, travel for many seminars, and have honours or masters degrees can charge more because they have more qualifications than a person who takes a simple diploma.

If one has an expensive trainer then the best thing to do is schedule appointments every 5 weeks or so and not everyday, but I do know people who train with high level coaches once a week. It does depend on cash, but if you had money to train with somebody whose athletes have gone to the olympics then it does not seem so dumb.

[Mr.Freeze]

you must of heard of progym in montreal, i think not one trainner charge 65$
they all have diploma,one guy as his Procard some of them are competing for the past ten years. what i see often his trainning two guy at the same time for 25-30$each. guy =50-60$ an hrs. so it come up to the same thing but you give your client a break and on the other side your client train with you more often. anyway long story short the price you pay doesnt certefied him as a good trainner thats for sure.
now back to the original question!
would you accept the deal or not? knowing that the trainner are REAL GOOD trainner, ok not the very best but who could bring you on a stage and you dont look dummy!~

[shithead]

I think thats a good concept too!


What the hell ya doin at the Nautilus Club though? Maybe cause you're a type1(always checkin out the chicks)

I train in a dungeon but come out at least once a week to impress the locals.

[cedric]

its a great concept, but i have a question...
Why would you pay the trainer 35$ to see if you qualify for not going under the training that would make them lose 400$?

It just seems for me that it'd make sense they'd say everyone requires the training (no matter how knowledgeable you/they are) so they can make that extra 400$.

Ou est progym? Je se pas.
If you are looking for a body builder trainer then that is a good deal. If I could train with a pro for $35 a session then I would do it if I had the money and if I was training for a BB comp.

yeah if your a fvcker and your in it just for money!Ill never pay a trainner 35$ an hrs. to show HIM how to train:D
and i dont think it make sense charging 400$ to a guy that already knows more then the trainner himself!
