I used to work with a fat trainer. He wasn’t a little chunky like he enjoyed a beer or 7 on the weekend — this dude had a belly on him. He was bald with a pudgy face. Every time that he spotted a client on the bench press, he had to contort his body into an awkward anterior pelvic tilt so his belly wouldn’t get in the way. I worked with this individual early on in my career. Admittedly, I was immature and negative in my thinking. I couldn’t understand why anybody in their right mind would want to train with this guy — he wasn’t particularly attractive and in no way exuded a healthy lifestyle. To top it off, he would come into the gym with a take out container from Nando’s Chicken and quickly sneak in a few bites between clients. Looking back, his floor demeanor seemed good but I remember him constantly complaining of fatigue in the staff room. Perhaps the weirdest thing was the sugary purple drink he sipped throughout the day. It just didn’t seem like he cared about his health — yet, his schedule was chocked full of clients paying good money to get into shape. In my eyes, it was irresponsible. This brings us to the question: Do you need to be ripped to be a personal trainer? Heres the answer: theptdc/2013/02/do-you-have-to-be-ripped-to-be-a-personal-trainer/
