In this day and age with negative conditions everywhere I know it's hard. The conditions around the globe, more locally, the economy, even more locally (in NY where I'm from) the weather. There's always something. I've seen it in the fitness field too. Clients that are negative about themselves or the day-to-day routine or the results they're striving for that aren't coming fast enough. Most distressing are trainers that are negative. There is one I have in mind that has bankrupt or defunked so many fitness endeavors it's not funny. In fact, it's really sad because along the way he's upset a lot of people and turned them off to fitness. Now I've found a website that he's running in the name of fitness but along the same lines- negative. Negative about recent news events, or people in the headlines, or most disturbingly about us trainers and the fitness field. I don't understand how he claims to be for fitness when he only praises himself- and he's got no experience or education about anything in fitness! He's never even trained a single person! Yet he's on YouTube with videos putting everything down but himself. [PM me for his website, which is his name, by the way, if you're interested]
Please stay away from people like this. They're only happy when they drag you down the hole they've fallen into. Ever hear "misery loves company"? As one of the priveleged few to be selected to work on FitOrbit, I can stand firm and say that this is proof there are people out there genuinely interested in you and your goals and not in it for themselves or their own agenda. Stay positive. Your goals are only a request away on here! I don't know every trainer on here but I went through the process, along with them, to become a trainer on here and I know this is not a "joke" and they were very serious about getting the best! :)
Please don't take this as a rant. I just don't want to see people fall into that trap that is out there. Beware. Find someone good and positive and then stay with them. Rid yourself of the negativity and those people who make you feel negative or depressed. Your goals are your responsibility! Find someone who has a genuine interest in helping you get there. Find someone who will be there with you every step of the way. Find someone who will keep you motivated and excited about what you are doing and accomplishing. ...Now just find anyone on FitOrbit and you've found someone who will do just that! :)
Best of Luck to you!
