It has been a while since I wrote here, partly because I was trying to figure out my life as a trainer. One thing for sure, being a trainer is not as easy as it looks and it’s definitely challenging. One thing I noticed, selling is not the way to get clients. Rather, listening and empathizing with a client and sometimes turning a client away if you don’t see each other as a good fit is what makes my work fun and challenging.
I’m happy to say that as tough as it was for me in the beginning I was able to finally break the shell and I know have more clients, thanks to that. Much of my success is to my trainer Mike. Thanks to him and his frankness I was able to see that being a trainer is first about being a friend, and being able to help the person. So slowly and surely things have been turning up.
One more thing, thanks to CrossFit and Mike I can now do three military push ups as well as pull ups with assistance.
