Health knowledge made personal
|
Time and time again I have had females ask me, 'Lance, are you a player?' 'Do you have 10 girlfriends?' 'Have you ever hooked up with one of your clients?' The answer is NO. They ask this not because I am the Casanova of cardio, the Don Juan of dumbbells, or the Romeo of running - but simply because I am a personal trainer! There is a strong belief held by many that personal trainers are quite 'active' in their social lives. I was talking on the phone with a young lady and it went a little something like this, Young Lady: Most guys in your profession date a lot. Lance:Come on, I don't know if you can say that. Young Lady: Why not? Lance:Well, I can see where you might think that. Lance:Male trainers are usually outgoing...active...social and... Young Lady: Into themselves. Lance: Yea, they're 'into' their health and fitness level and they are... Young Lady:Dirtbags. Lance: Oookay, why don't you tell me how you really feel! Her point was taken, but there are also doctors, lawyers, garbage men, zookeepers, magicians, and pool boys that date a lot. There will and always be some men that date a lot. That's just how it is. And some of them will be personal trainers, but not all of them are! It's not fair to generalize and stereotype an entire profession so give guy trainers the benefit of the doubt. Some of them may not have gone on a date in a long time.  |
