I always thought there was some kind of special training or program a person had to go through before he could be hired as a personal trainer at a gym. I thought a prospective trainer had to at least know the basics of physiology or body mechanics or whatever it's called when you know the way the various parts of the body work in conjunction with one another. But apparently I was mistaken. Apparently a personal trainer doesn't have to even know his own ass from a hole in the ground. All he has to know how to do is count to 12 or 15 (loudly) and clap his hands.
My gym could save a lot of money by hiring kindergarteners. I hear they'll work for Play Doh and a sip-it box of juice.
And believe it or not, they'd be better mannered.

My only gym experience was cut short by someone who didn't know what they were doing. I should've sued.
Offered by: Joan on November 19, 2002 9:24 PMI have two sisters, and despite my suspiciousness of one, they both claim to be hetero.
I can't blame you for your liking of women, hell, I like them too. And you have a nice ass too.
Offered by: Thomas on November 19, 2002 2:50 PM"mint flavored anal lube"? *cringes*
But -- back to the kinder-kiddies and such... can they really count to 12 or 15? I know they can do it loudly. But would it be in actual correct order?
Also we must not forget they have to be able to keep in step while jumping up and down, counting and clapping. I know I can't do that.
Of course, there's also the vomitting and peeing their pants while screaming for mommy. Other than that, you're right! They're hired.
Offered by: chari on November 19, 2002 1:20 PMThomas, do you have a handy sister?
Offered by: Karen on November 19, 2002 12:40 PMKaren, my wife agrees with you on the delivery woman part (What do you expect from a woman who played fast-pitch softball in Junior College?) but loves having a husband. I give her something no woman can; Someone to clean up the litter boxes, make the household gadgets work and someone to blame when birthdays and other important events are forgotten. In return, I get an excuse to buy sex toys and mint flavored anal lube (Jodi's favorite)!
Offered by: Thomas on November 19, 2002 12:18 PMand to top it off, i get harassed almost everyday for a "free training session". like i'm going to leave my body in the hands of these morons. the best is when they are "spotting" you during a set and your struggling, only to notice that they're staring at themselves in the mirror, while you almost just strangled yourself to death with the barbell...
Offered by: Jon on November 19, 2002 11:46 AMI can honestly say I have never succumbed to the charms of delivery guys.
Delivery girls might be a different story. ;)
I believe that people interested in being personal trainers should be told that despite how the adult film industry portrays the job, they should expect to get far less "action" than what they've witnessed on the small screen.
The same should be explained to UPS drivers, plumbers, cable TV installers, mattress salesmen, and carnival ride attendants.
Additionally, no woman has ever cried, "You are bold!", then became completely naked and on her knees in a two second fade out.
Porn; How you've influenced us all.
