30 min sessions..... IDK Rose, IDK

Started at a new gym a while back.
Interesting for sure
sessions are only 30 min so you have got to be on your game when you arrive.
There is no lacksadaisy lolligagging around.
I mean it is so hard to get in and out in 30 min

and A LOT is left on the clients shoulders.

They come in 10-15 min before the session and do cardio on their own, then we meet and work hard and fast and they are glad when it is over. Then the stretch is left up to them.

I am torn.. I mean honestly the meat of a training session is 30-45 min... let's have REAL talk.... If you are a general, normal person, you yap yap yap as much as you lift lift lift in the one on one world. YES THERE ARE EXCEPTIONS, I have worked with them.

And there are different methods of training which an hour+ is used because you are lifting at such a high rate, you NEED to have the 2 min recovery... This is all true, but I am talking about general people who are in the gym. the ones doing 8-15 reps... all my rats out there are wincing.... staaaap... It is the truth of which I speak.

So anyway it is 30 min of go time. MOST of the folks I see are S.P.E.N.T. after 10-15 min of cardio and 30 of me.... 

So again
staaaaap with your judging of me...

My thing is 30 min
like wham bam thank you maam
it takes me 30 min to have a snack (maybe a little exaggeration).

Then the biz side of it.... I get paid by the half hour, so for realz if I'm not stacking clients I'm not making money.... and God forbid real life happen and someone is 5 min late..

Let's play THAT senerio
if you are 5 min late, then you get a 25 min session (professionally speaking, don't be late). BUT you have not done the cardio part... for me you have not had a warm up... so  now the session is 20 min. ( I have to warm you up) So you get irritated because the session is so short and we are rushed

      I mean if you have a 55 min session and are 5 min late, you get a 5 min warm up... clients are still irritated, BUT you still get 45 min session... in this case you only get 20 and are irritated.

and let's jump in deeper...
I plan 28 min of very calculated activities to maximize our time together.. now I have to modify it or run over..
and running over is a HUGE thing with a 30 min stacked session.
........typically a session is split into 60 min blocks.
we work together for 55 of those
that gives me (the trainer) 5 glorious min to get you signed out and grab the next guy.
with 30 min sessions stacked back to back to back for a day, you are NOT getting 30 min. you are getting 28... let's be honest, it is gonna take 1 min 30 seconds to walk get you signed and say see ya "X" day "X" time. and 30 seconds for me to go get my next appointment.

This isn't a Dr.'s office
You will not wait 15 min for me
You will bitch, moan and complain to anyone who will listen if I am late....

AND I DON'T BLAME YOU because if you are late, you loose precious time!!
so the options are run 30 min sessions 5 min apart.....REALLY??? is that an option??? your training session is at 425 SHARP so the next one can be at 5, No, that is not reality my god it would look like this:
4:25
5:00
5:35
6:10
6:45
I wouldn't know if I was coming or going.
And to do 30 on 15 off is just crazy... I don't need 15 min in between clients that means that for every 2 clients, I don't get paid for 1....

So this is how it is
RUSH
Don't be late
and kill 'em while you have them :)

I am just not so sure about these 30 min sessions......

Rant done!
