Hey everyone,
So I've been reading the book and got to the CENTS concept, and there was a paragraph about personal training that really made me think, so i decided to hop on the forum and lurk a bit. A lot of doodoo has been thrown in the direction of PTs, so I felt that i needed to write about this as I'm considering joining personal training this summer.
There are A LOT of PTs, but 9 out of 10 are absolute shit. It is saturated, but with mouth-breathing, uneducated trainers. And it's "oversaturated", but today the only fitness niche that's not oversaturated is the niche of "Full body workouts while inhaling chlorine mid set".
Most of the trainers have no idea about sales, have low confidence to approach in the gym and overall have no passion and end goals that push them trough the comfort barrier. Even if they have the confidence to approach, it would be a instant sales pitch or something alike.
A lot of them offer cookie cutter programs, and make everyone do the same program and eat the same foods, because it worked with that one client. They don't understand that it can be very detrimental to do this, but they simply don't know better.
Most of them DON'T READ BOOKS. They scroll mindlessly watching TikToks, reality shows and playing video games, and later say that "they're too busy", "I need my unwind time", "video games increase my reflexes so it's good for me!"
So is this supposed to be my competition? The word oversaturated is strong and can be scary, but i refuse to call personal training oversaturated when most of the trainers are very low in quality and not growing. I'd love to hear what you guys think, maybe It's just my ego speaking or i don't really understand what the word oversaturated means, but from my eyes it looks like this.
Thank you for reading, this is my first post on the forum.
