24 Hour Fitness and its approach to Personal Training

[Austineh13]

Hey, how old must one be to get a job at 24 hour fitness? I'm a highschooler and apart from the Marine Corps, working out is my passion. Thanks anyone :)

I am personal trainer at 24 hour fitness, I dont do sales, my training speaks for itself, it doesn't matter what gym you work at, if your client has a goal and you dont know how to get them there? Your probably not gonna be successful to begin with! So do not blame the gym your working with! Check yourself first...

[hughhesner]

you look like a really good personal trainer.. but im wondering...... WHY YOU STILL GOT YOUR CLOTHES ON?

[SuperCrossup]

Most 24 Hour Fitness trainers are dangerously incompetent.

I worked for 24 Hr Fitness... I wasnt happy with it. I certified with NASM's CPT,CES,PES. They pay is poor and I felt like a car salesman. Now I'm working for a University making x4 more than before.

the cool thing about the trainers with 24 hour fitness is that they must be certified by a national organization and they only accept the top 9 or a kinesiology degree. the la fitness trainers take some crappy 2 week online course that focuses on form and not really programming from client to client. whether you have diabetes, high blood pressure, hip/knee replacement or torn rotator cuffs their trainers know what to do.

@barr51de And if they have a red no-hire light by their name on their computers, their immediately disqualified for employment at 24HF! (I know you wanted to mention that but what the hell I just went ahead and did it for you)

You should have your trainers focus on the client at all times, not laughing and joking with friends between sets.

@steelfoe Professional behavior should not me ordered but expected. Unfortunately that's not always the case. That's why each training manager at each gym needs to address this with his/her trainers.

Can your trainers help me decide which supplements to take?

[FE511bhs]

@YYZpresto Hell, they'll do ya one better than that! They'll hound you to buy supplements that you don't even need! What a great way to spend 60 bucks an hour! :P

Your trainers take Steroids!!

@Omegatide No more than the freaks at LA Fitness.
