THINGS THAT IRRITATE ME THAT OTHER TRAINERS DO

I hate hate hate most trainers.
I hate trainers who:
do not correct form
check themselves out in the mirror
who make the client count every rep every time
who point the client to the next ex while they do..... idk know what the trainer is doing
do not correct form
allow swinging
promote bad form
give a client something to do that they OBVIOUSLY are not advanced enough to do
DO
NOT
CORRECT
FORM

I saw ALL of this today within 2 hours of training......
seriously people
the client is PAYING you to set up a workout that challenges them, not injure them.
the client is PAYING you to have knowledge and expertise, not to do what ever the hell you are doing while they do your job 
Yes, it sucks as a trainer to fetch weights, put them up, wipe their sweat, count for them, and all the other gross things we do....BUT IT IS PART OF YOUR FRIGGIN JOB!

It is also your job to CORRECT THEIR FORM
If your client cannot do a front delt raise with 15lbs, then either do not do that ex or use less weight. and by all means GOOD LORD do not put that swinging mess up on a bosu ball for his next set!

Baby Jesus, in your tuxedo Tee.... help me with patience and shut my mouth in public for idiotic trainers who do this!
 (Is there a bible verse or something I should quote here?)

I have clients who are complete bad a**es and can do some crazy fun and extreme things.... but I also have clients who can't do a lunge, so why would I have them do a jump lunge ( I might have them do ski jumps); why have them do one leg suspended lunges (good lord they can't do it with two feet on the ground!).

If your client CAN'T DO A LUNGE maybe use the smith machine to help them learn form, maybe have them take long walking steps (not lunge walks b/c the CAN'T~~~) or IDK something crazy like NOT LUNGE UNTIL THEY ARE PHYSICALLY STRONG ENOUGH! 

When you see someone swinging weights, not making a FULL ROM, leaning and heaving while they lunge or squat.... DO NOT USE THEIR TRAINER, HE/SHE IS A FLIPPIN' MORON.

Ok..... I would like to say that I feel better after my rant, but I don't I honestly just want to slap-a-trainer!

I am off to meet with a new, borderline obese, elderly client... I guess I will have her do inverted shoulder push-ups! Fricking idiots everywhere I go~~~~~~~~~~
