Happy & Healthy

typical personal trainer tendencies

I like to spend most of my money on going out for dinner, (sports)clothing and sometimes on a personal trainer too. The latter is expensive, I know, but personal (gym) attention makes me happy. I’ve had a couple of different personal trainers, one who quit on his own, another who was never available when I had the time, and others who just weren’t the right fit. Who or whatever PT (personal trainer) it is, they all have one thing in common; there are a couple situations that occur with all of them. These to be exact:

• PT’s always app with an INSANE amount of emoji’s. Like the following: “Sooo, are you pumped and ready? Tomorrow is going to be a tough one :P :P :P :P :P :P” (That is supposed to resemble the smiley that has his tongue sticking out.) They type the most idiotic long messages with an overkill of emoji’s. Or am I the only one who has experienced this?
• Another one of those things they seem to all have in common: they end their texts with an X. Look, you aren’t friends, and technically the guy works for you so it should be strictly business but sometimes workouts can get intimate and you’ll tell each other personal things. He gets close to you (literally and figuratively).
• When you’re with your PT, it’s intense, you sweat and you’re hard at work. I don’t know about you, no matter how attractive or unattractive he is, it’s still very intimate when he grabs your hips to correct your stance. It kind of builds up tension. Don’t you agree?
• PT’s are extreme macho’s. They’re super sweet but you’ll often spot them checking out their guns in the mirror.
• PT’s too will call off a workout when they’ve pulled an all-nighter.
