There's something to be said about building rapport with a trainer and/or sharing some challenges that could be barriers to achieving goals but coming in and dumping, venting or complaining non-stop is beyond irritating and taxing on your patience. And if you call people out on their behaviour and try to get them to focus on their training you are labeled the 'asshole or bitch'.


It's so true when I used to train people 7 yrs ago, I would tell them to shut the fuck up b, but what happens is they don't come back and you don't make money I have little tolerance for people who have no desire to achieve and to at least make an effort ..I don't understand this mindset, do people think it's easy to change their bodies. What I love is when a person comes in with a picture of a figure model or a bodybuilder or something of the such and they proceed to tell me I want to look like this...Then you tell them whats involved and you watch there jaw hit the floor
