Send us a textSure, personal training is an admirable career path, providing a great service to people who want to improve their health, wellness and get stronger...BUT these are the reasons WHY becoming a personal trainer may not be for everyone. In fact, personal training can really suck at times. No matter your passion and love of something… if you’re too heavily invested in something it can burn you out! Listen closely as coaches Chris Wilson and Brian Klepacki get real and share their personal account of over 30 years of combined training experience. BIOS Strength Coach Brian Klepacki, MS, CSCS has been coaching (aka personal training) people for over 15 years. He has a Master’s degree in Exercise Science, is a Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist with the NSCA and he's also certified to do the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) which is used with high level athletes to assess their movement patterns. Coach Chris Wilson took a different route… after graduating college with a degree in Communications he followed his fitness passions and began working for World Gym and surrounded himself with trainers, bodybuilders and health experts. After years of personal training and working with high level coaches like Powerlifter Lloyd Weinstein, Gym Owner Benjamin Prentiss and the legendary Charles Poliquin, he eventually moved onto gym management.   "You'll make good hourly wages but you're limited with how many hours you have in a week and how much energy you have." -Chris Wilson   Time Stamps 0:25 – Get to know your Strong By Design podcast hosts, Chris & Brian 5:01 – Why personal training can actually suck 9:42 – Coach Chris reveals one of his PT nicknames 12:31 – The time commitment for a personal trainer 19:33 – The ugly side of personal training 21:58 – Why being a personal trainer can make you “less” healthy 24:43 – Importance of keeping up to date with personal training trends 28:10 – Why you should choose the right personal trainer with quality certification(s) 39:08 – Factors leading to personal trainer burnout syndrome 42:00 – How to create a personal training program for your client 48:33 – Where you can go to find Critical Bench’s programs and exercise related videos   Resources – 5 Personal Training Videos: 5 Reasons Why Personal Training Sucks as a Career How to Design a Personal Training Program for Any Client How to Create the Perfect Personal Training Session for Your Client Personal Training Workouts – Beginner to Advanced Training Personal Training Certifications – Which Ones are BEST and Why?   Connect w/ CriticalBench:  Youtube Facebook Instagram CritiSupport the showConnect w/ CriticalBench: Youtube Facebook Instagram CriticalBench.com StrongByDesignPodcast.com
