Bad Trainer

Putting the bad trainers of the world on blast! We all see & hear things in the gym everyday that are harming clients. What did you see today?!

[Bad Trainer @BadTrainers]

Client doing lat pull downs, but can only get 1/4 ROM. Trainer says "Don't worry, keep doing this weight & eventually you'll learn" #Pause

[Lizzy Ostro @lizziomusic]

@BadTrainers haha that's a new one. The more "creative" you are, te better trainer you are. Didn't you know?!?

[Bad Trainer @BadTrainers]

Having a client do step ups on the "high box" when clearly it's waaay too high for her. Can't balance, almost falls off every rep. #LowerBox

[Bad Trainer @BadTrainers]

Box Jumps with a bent over DB rear delt fly at the top.... #WhatsThePoint

[Bad Trainer @BadTrainers]

Why would you PAY someone to train you when they come in hungover & text the whole session, not even paying attention to you?!
#BADTRAINER

Trainer at our gym insists wonen should not lift heavy bc they will bulk up. #BADTRAINER

[Bad Trainer @BadTrainers]

Static stretching is neither an EFFICIENT or EFFECTIVE warm-up... #Knowyourshit #MovementPrep101

[Bad Trainer @BadTrainers]

It kills me to see trainers have clients doing RDL's & rounding their backs on the way down. #Yikes #Knowyourshit #InjuryPrevention

[Bad Trainer @BadTrainers]

@thtleggygal yes. If youre btwb about 2.6-3.0 on a 15% incline not holding on AT ALL ur #doingwork

[Bad Trainer @BadTrainers]

Heard a "trainer" tell client that when walking on treadmill for fatloss, speed is more impt than incline...ummm #nottrue ! #Knowyourshit !

[Bad Trainer @BadTrainers]

Telling your clients to eat 500kcal a day and that "all fats are bad to eat" is going to cause some serious damage. #BADTRAINERS

@badtrainers oh and at my local gym, one of the trainers spent 70% of the session talking to the client about her relationship troubles.

[Ryan Rhodes @transformlab]

@badtrainers Saw a trainer congratulating his client on quarter bodyweight dips and pull-ups where his arms never went over 90 degree angle.

[Bad Trainer @BadTrainers]

If you're having client do band walks & allowing 2nd step to come all the way in creating NO constant tension on the band..#whatsThePoint ?!

[Bad Trainer @BadTrainers]

@TheJNL do you tweet to fake followers??

[Bad Trainer @BadTrainers]

If your client cant do a normal push up,WTF would you have your client attempt to do a BOSU push up burpee?! #GetOuttaHere #concerned4client

You are not as hot as you think

[Bad Trainer @BadTrainers]

Static stretching is NOT an effective warm-up. I repeat, static stretching is NOT an effective warmup!! #justsayin
