Does a Tubby Trainer make your list?

Well guys, personal trainers are like a box of chocolates...

you never know what you're gonna get!

In many health clubs you do not have the choice of which trainer you are assigned to work with. This unfortunately decreases the chance of a match made in heaven and increases the chance that it could end up like h-e-double hockey sticks.

Often times I hear people declare that they would never, ever, ever, train with someone who was overweight. They say a tubby trainer is like jumbo shrimp - an oxymoron. I understand where they are coming from, in many ways to a potential client a trainer's body, fitness level, and physical abilities are like their resume.

Let's wake up and look at this in reality. All trainers are not ridiculously, ridiculously, ridiculously ripped, have abs sculpted by Michelangelo, can crush walnuts between their glutes, and need to have their arms registered with the NRA. We are real people too.

I mean, just look at me. I have calves as thick as Twizzlers and you can only see my abs if you hold a picture of someone else's up in front of them.

Real Reasons Not To Hire This Trainer:
  • If they do not practice what they preach
  • If you are not inspired or motivated by them
  • If you do not truly believe that they can get you to your goals
  • If you ever doubt that they can/would do anything that they ask you to do
  • If you ever question their knowledge basis

So... would you hire one?
